In North Korean literature, the world except “Chos?n” was generally portrayed as a negative image. Most of these texts consisted of narratives denouncing the disastrous reality of capitalism and proving the superiority of the North Korean regime. Recently, however, North Korean literature features scenes in which a person who returned from studying in Europe presents a new horizon of competition with the world and texts that unfold the inner conflict of the characters against the backdrop of European countries such as Germany. This is a distinctive point of change compared to the texts of North Korean literature from the previous period. Therefore, this article seeks to examine the possibility of new landscapes attempted by North Korean literature by pointing out the scenes of repetition and variation shown by North Korean novels of the “Kim Jong-un era.” In particular, since 2017, novels that develop narratives against the backdrop of Western countries have been published. They are interesting texts that reveal the desire of North Korean society to be recognized in the world. Therefore, this article focuses on North Korea’s novel texts set in Europe. In particular, it analyzes two texts, which show interesting changes in North Korean literature,―the short story Clap Sound published in 2018 and the full-length novel Self-Portrait published in 2020. Through this, I attempt to show that literary scenes which are revealed as the typicality of old North Korean literature overlap and clash with the desire of current North Korean literature.
