Choi Seohae
최서해
Choi Seo-hae (1901-1932)[1] was a Korean novelist. He is considered to be the greatest singyeonghyang (lit. new trend) literary writer of his time,[2] and is known for his faithful and detailed depictions of the suffering and protests of the working classes during the Japanese occupation. In spite of the realistic depiction of the exploitation of the poor by the rich, Choi’s stories tend to end abruptly with extreme solutions and no long-term vision suggested, for which his work is criticized.
