Yu Chin-O
유진오
Yu Chin-O (1906 – 1987) is a Korean novelist. His novels from the Japanese colonial period[1] are notable in that they thoroughly illustrate the ideological conflicts among intellectuals while providing detailed psychological descriptions of characters.[2] After Korea’s liberation from the colonial rule, Yu worked in a wide array of fields, for instance, as a law scholar, an educator, and a politician. His representative works are “Gimgangsawa tigyosu” (김강사와 T교수 Lecturer Kim and Professor T) (1935) and “Changnangjeonggi” (창랑정기 The Story of the Changnagjeong House) (1938).
