Choi, Seo-Hae is a representative novelist in 1920’s. He is evaluated very important both South and North Korea. However, the understanding and rate about him is extremely deflective. He is considered as a representative Anti-conventional novelist. This is not totally wrong but it is not complete. Such as these understanding and rate were because he was really interested in the matter of extreme poverty especially. That’s why they call his novels “extreme poverty novel”. Nonetheless, poverty is merely a material. Even more important thing is the factor and condition to incur the reality of extreme poverty. Choi, Seo-Hae saw it as Japanese Empire Colonialism. He believed that every racial contradiction including extreme poverty is resulted from Colonialism. Therefore, to overcome this racial contradiction, he thought that we have to overcome the colonialism. This belief is based on Choi, Seo-Hae’s novel. It is more proper to call him independent movement novelist rather than anti-conventional writer.
