This study focuses on comparative literature as a research methodology de facto for area study between two writers, such as Brazil's Paulo Coelho de Souza and Korea's Shimhoon, whose real name is Shim, Dae-Sup, from different view-points of time-series and geographical cultures for the purpose of mid-range generalization, on making definition about alternative societies with currency of local exchange trading system in circulation, even if the drift of an argument were so limited in convincing to the core point, based on resistance consciousness in Brazil and Korea. This study aims on a plausibility of Shimhoon's strong influences on Coelho as an ad hoc hypothesis in spite of long time and tide more than forty-six years almost half a century, which derives from comparative literature methodology between Brazil's Coelho and Korea's Shimhoon, especially from tunnel-view toward alternative societies based on resistance consciousness with common denominator of alienation in third world, struggling from Japanese militarists' despotism and military dictatorship of Brazilian rightists. For the sake of sincere democracy two writers offered stubborn resistance against ready-made ideas to calm down keen psychological conflicts among established moral principles to over come philosophical catastrophe in social chaos. Even though two writers lived in different time and place they have amazing similarities in philosophy and life's journey wandering form place to place, roaming around so many countries, and hovering between a huge sum of money and a penniless person during four times of remarriage. Especially their common passion for art of theater, movies, broadcasting system, and journalism makes surprising similarities in the voyage of life filled with competitive instinct against existing generations. These similarities have introduced into struggling tactics armed with common resistance consciousness in quite separate place in Brazil and Korea with time and tide interval of forty-six years grown up in a unique and proper way keeping fatigued pace with the times as well as being intellectually ahead of the times to get eternal freedom filled with human will and insatiable desire without religious hierarchy and instability. The ad hoc hypothesis of this study puts great importance on an issue of discovering his/her identity in Brazilian or Korean notion of resistance consciousness for the alternative societies with regard to these two writers' main theme related with unique notion of solidarity and democracy which absolutely distinguish from mankind suffering in cruel war or keen conflict. This is the reason why there are much more similarities than differences in Coelho and Shimhoon despite of time and tide more than forty-six years. Here this study verifies ad hoc hypothesis that Coelho has been handed down main concept from the ealier great writer of the poem 'If the day comes(1930)' written by Shimhoon who is one the world-wide three resistance poet verified already by Cecil Maurice Bowra of Cambridge University in his famous 'Poetry and Politics(1966)'.
