The purpose of this study is to examine significance and limitation in Labor Novel that was released by Kim Yeong-pal in the mid-and-latter half of the 1920s. Kim Yeong-pal's labor novels are based on a writer's autobiographical experience, thereby being put at the point different from writers of belonging to 'KAPF' who were active in works during the similar period. Kim Yeong-pal's novel in 1927, which was started the primary directional conversion in KAPF, is having certain distance from the creative methodology in KAPF. In a big frame, it is consistent with the direction in Proletarian Literary Movement. However, what he partially sticked to a creative method peculiar to him can be said to be his unique point. This position was accepted critically by the inside of KAPF. And, Kim Yeong-pal had also recognized this. His diverse walks of life such as essayist, dramatist, broadcasting entertainment caster, and child-play research association became an opportunity that he came to be negatively evaluated by KAPF. Consequently, it resulted in what he came to be distant from literature. Nevertheless, in the aspect that he achieved the certain performance in embodying inconsistency of the labor field with realistic depiction in the mid-and-latter half of the 1920s, Kim Yeong-pal's novel is clarified to have significance.
