In this paper, let us look carefully at the definition of depicted in Kim Hakyoung’s novels. First of all, in the novel “Frozen Lips” Mr. Kim portrays a young ethnic Korean living in Japan who puts the value of his own entity before anything else. Even before his identity as an ethnic Korean. Mr. Kim acknowledged how unreliable it is for political forces to integrate compatriots under the flag of patriotism by sharing the sense of belonging as an ethnic group; national identity with fellow Koreans living in Japan. The concept witnessed in the novel “Frozen Lips” corresponds to Chosen. In detail, this Chosen connotes the meaning “South Korea” that needs to exclude North Korea and rebels led by North. The fuzzy image of the concept which have been resting inside the mind of the main character begins to crystallize in Mr. Kim’s another novel “Confession”. The novel illustrates a new movement for unification in the perspective of one ethnic Korean living in Japan and repatriation of his sisters to North Korea. However, in this novel, we can tell that the presence of South Korea has increased meanwhile; the confidence of North Korea has decreased. This is significant change because in Mr. Kim’s prior works, North Korea has been illustrated as a key player of bringing unification to the Korean Peninsula. Another element worth focusing in the novel is how he portrayed a burdensome life of the father of the main character. He has done this by comparing the life of the main character who continuously suffers from family trouble, with that of his father. The main character in the novel “The Light of winter” develops speaking disorder due to mental wounds caused by domestic violence from his father. In here, is dubbed with a poignant phrase that says, “A country where I have never been to”. By this, what the author meant was is a concept, like brotherhood, which self.consciousness is demanded by the outer world. In this novel, the presence of the Korean Society increases even greater than his previous works. “After nostalgia, we are” is a novel about an actual historic event where North Korean spies smuggled into South Korea. The novel eloquently depicts how one ethnic Korean’s nostalgia for his homeland is misused by propagandas carefully planned by North Korea and at the end how brutally his heart is crushed by North Korea. The agony he felt in the novel is used again in Mr. Kim’s later novel, “A Sense of Emptiness at a Riverside in on Afternoon”. However, clear sense of resentment toward North Korea added to the pain. Through the novel, “After nostalgia, we are” we can tell that for ethnic Koreans no longer simply means the Korean Peninsula but something which can utilize them to be as used as a tool for propagandas . The identity of ethnic Korean living in Japan is changing before an actual unification of Korean even takes place, owing of development of South Korea, success of Korean popular culture, distribution of the Korean language education and studies on Korea and so on. The advent of multicultural era eventually drew down the curtain of modern literature which is closely connected to a nation‐state. This trend might make us forget about the works done by Kim Hakyoung saying, “His works are too obvious”. This indeed may be true for the fact that Mr. Kim takes the fictitious side of seriously. However, we can say Mr. Kim’s perception on or national consciousness is still valid today. That is why it is necessary for us to give another close look into Kim Hakyong’s work today.
