Though Jung Bi-suk is well-known as a writer of the affair, some short stories of Jung in late Japanese Imperialism shows the matter of the generation at that time. Around 1940 in the Chosun literary world, there was a argument about the new generation. Jung Bi-suk did not enter that argument, but he showed his thought on the matter of the generation through his few short stories - ‘The Third Friendship’(「第三의 友情」), ‘Solitary’(「孤高」), ‘A Village with Springtime’(「마을은 봄과 더불어」). These short stories show that insulating to the old generation was the starting point for the younger generation. In ‘The Third Friendship’(「第三의 友情」), ‘Solitary’(「孤高」) show that some of younger generation did not make realistic choices, they hesitated between the logic of reality and ideal. But in 1942, during ‘The New Era’(신체제), Jung had written stories in Japanese, and in that kinds of works, his tendency of the works certainly changed. There were no more hesitated young men. The young man of Jung’s short story in Japanese accepted ‘the Fact’ as his belief, and things he did for his village was actually for the Japanese Imperial.
