This study aims to consider the way to represent the others of korean novels in 2000’s. In the initial stage, these novels, such as Oh Soo-Yeon’s ‘Don’t die, Abu Ali’, tended to use nonfictional narrative methods. Henceforward, in her collection of short stories Golden Roof she combined both nonfictional and fictional narratives. This helped her show awareness about the others and her distinctive ‘narrative-identity’ generated from her narrating. Henceforward, novels about the problems of the others increased, and these novels dealed with the others from sympathetic points of view. These had limits that stereo-typed charac- ters appeared in these novels. However, Kim Jae-young’s ‘Elephant’ brought the other as ‘Homo Sacer’ into being and provided tremble to threat structure of speculation of subject. After 2010, young writers tend to use ‘lively’ narrative method to suggest solidarity of minorities. Conventional national boundaries between the subject and the other are deconstructed, and solidarity of minorities, which were alienated from global world-systems, is suggested in Choi Min-seok, Cho Hae-jin and Kim Hee-seon’s works.
