Abstract

In this study, I will examine the process of hybridization along the path of the North Korean diaspora defection through the journey of “Roh,” a defector in the novel “I Met Roh Kiwan” by Hae Jin Jo. In the novel, Roh's face with several minority identities, such as defectors, stateless, refugees, strangers, and illegal immigrants, is also the face of me who wanders with its own wounds or Park who cannot settle in his hometown. Through the journey of exploring the spaces where Roh Kiwan stayed, I, as a speaker, realizes that Roh Kiwan's life, a stranger, has come into her life, and shares his diaspora situation and otherness. After all, the problems of the characters are not solved in detail, but the solidarity formed between them provides a clue to the solution as a hybrid transmodern liberation. Regarding the pains and human rights issues of minorities around the world that are constantly being raised, the author shows the pattern in which the solidarity and connection of trans-boundary subjects yields the possibility of various hybridization through the novel “I Met Roh Kiwan” and provides an answer It can be said that it is presenting.
