AB - Lee Dae-Hwan's “Slow Blit” is the only Vietnam War novel that deals with the issue of Defoliant, and it can be said that this novel has opened a new chapter in the Vietnam War novel. In this paper, the issue of defoliation is a window that reveals the 'double identity', which is the 'victim and assailant' of the Korean army in the Vietnam War. The short story “Slow Bullets” (1996) is a work that emphasizes the tragedy of the Korean military as the victim of the Agent Orange. According to the characteristics of the genre of the short story, the focus is on the life of the suffering veterans and their families rather than collectively dealing with various aspects of Defoliant. Also, self-awareness as a victim works especially on the basis of excluding Vietnamese. 2001 version of “Slow Bullets” reflects various aspects of the complex memory struggle surrounding the Vietnam War. In the 2001 version, various aspects of discourse surrounding the Vietnam War are revealed through the expansion of Yeongho and various surrounding materials. Iksu emphasized the significance of being an economic warrior who contributed to the industrialization of Korea in the 2001 edition. On the other hand, Yeongho criticized the United States, the subject of the use of Defoliant and the responsibility as a perpetrator against Vietnamese people. In particular, this conflict was caused by the difference between the basic positions of Iksu and Yeongho facing the Vietnam War. Through the stimulation of Yeongho, Iksu is aware of his situation in the Vietnam War. However, the 2001 version does not simply end with a one-sided condemnation of veteran Iksu, but goes one step further. It is to look at the Vietnam War from a world perspective. The 2013 edition, “Slow Bullets,” is a version of the 2011 edition that complements the aesthetic problem that did not dissolve consciousness as a perpetrator or the perspective of world history in a specific narrative.
