While Jeong In-taek is positioned as a modernist writer, the city as a space making modernity in his literature has hardly been analyzed. Accordingly, this paper tried to examine how Tokyo is represented in his literature, in order to investigate his critical awareness on Tokyo and aesthetic modernity he practiced. As Jeong In-taek reconciled his relationship with the Tokyo he had experienced, his literature also changed accordingly. At first, he criticized the city where contradictions in capitalism appeared. However, the threat of existence made him wander here and there and ‘fall’ to a Lumpen. He actively reconstructed such Tokyo as the background of his novels, and his attempts to describe Tokyo as maze-like space and to bring out his memories through the names of places he experienced make the unique aesthetics of his literature. However, he tries to escape from the maze of Tokyo, giving up narrative probability. As a result, by turning the existential problem of settling in a specific place into a political problem, he safely makes Tokyo in his memory a place of attachment. As a result, his literature rapidly loses criticallity and possibility of cracking the illusion of modernity in the city space.
