In novels of Lee Cheong-Jun, the problem of truth is the process where characters’ individual truths and social truths that interfered and conflicted each other are harmonized and overcome. In Lacan’s discussion, ‘truth’ means the truth about desires and the purpose of psychoanalysis therapy is to lead an analysand to express this kind of truth, and thus, the truth is one of the key terms. Although Lacan was very critical about the concept of autonomous self, the argument of Lee Cheong-Jun that considers the process of overcoming conflicts between truths as the true function of novel corresponds to Lacan’s analysis, that is, they share a common feature,which isthe truth. In his lecture at in 1953, Lacan advocated the concept of the symbolic, the real, and the imaginary for the first time. He likened these three concepts to Borromean knot, which has three rings with a special property that if one ring is broken then the other two are also broken, and tried to apply the concepts of symptom, enjoyment, objet a, and autre. The three worlds can be simply defined as the following: the imaginary as world of misconception, the symbolic as world of deprivation, and the real as world of loss. Freud defined two cases where uncanny happens: when suppressed things are recalled and aroused, and when primitive faiths that were overcome show up in real life. Lacan premises the concept of ‘returning to the real’ for the uncanny of Freud. We can easily observe that the characters in Lee Cheong-Jun’s novel face a contradiction of the real by equating their desire and other’s or alternate between reality principle and pleasure principle, and as a result, the real disturbs the imaginary. From this view, his novel aims to reveal the uncanny. Also, Lee Cheong-Jun paid attention to incompleteness of human beings. In his novel, when a character cannot identify a situation, the sense of crisis is represented as a form of uncanny. The banished is destined to return to reality. While they try to settle back to their positions, human beings experience confusion and fear, wanting to defend themselves from the invasion of the strangers. However, the defense is not successful and they remain with us, even more intensified. Repetition compulsion and double hold back and checkthe death drive, and achieve a balance in our lives. In this context, the real results in creation, which is its right function, or disturbs the imaginary by return of suppressed things, which is its adverse effect. Lee Cheong-Jun does repetition compulsively in his novels. However, the repetition transforms itself as it is repeated and eventually derives the conclusion he aimed to achieve in the end. Perhaps, it can be said that psychoanalysis was performed in his memory, or he had tried psychoanalysis for himself through his novels and it was successful. Also, he created another selves of characters in many novels. The alter egos are definitely related to the author himself and the characters’ names often show connections with him. He shows in his novels that he still trusts human beings for the problem of studying truth. Also, he does not hesitate to restore things human beings had lost a long time ago into the present. Thus, his characters often have mysterious abilities. Also, he boldly personifies nature. In addition, regarding the problem of death, he clearly reveals his view of death from the perspective of the real, and its meaning is expanded beyond space and time. That is, simultaneity and sympatry occur through death, and these sometimes put human consciousness beyond space and time. Also, it is possible in the arts (although insufficiently) to arouse emotion in the real. All of these are often represented in novels as a premonition about the real. In novels, often the uncanny is softened and concealed, but what cannot exist in real world is often proven as the uncanny in novels. To Lee Cheong-Jun, this world is disturbing and incomplete. Also, it is impossible to fully understand. Thus, characters in his novels are rebellious against the rebellious world. The author sometimes loses himself to express his aggressive will to overcome. However, this is a contradictory representation of will to live, so there are cases where he tries to recover himself that was lost. When the attempt fails, characters in his novels pay the price at extreme, which is death. However, the only thing left is the fact that recovering self is harder than losing it in this disturbing and incomplete world. Minds of the people are in despair and hopelessly hurt but they are still eager to survive, so learn how to heal themselves. The key theme of his novels is the relentless will and perseverance of the people to survive. Also, he had profound love and interest for the incomplete people. Thus, the characters in his novels live their lives while they are still incomplete, hurt, and sometimes ruining themselves. However, he does not suggest an easy solution for the problem of cure and redemption. On the other hand, he realizes the loss of humanity, which is a scar of war, and tries to recover it. Also, he attempts to re-write history by re-constructing memories, but he also emphasizes the need to forget above all things. Mother and hometown are equal to him and the two concepts return in the end and become a cure, after many different steps. Lee Cheong-Jun sometimes daringly borrows the world of ‘선(仙)’ that is beyond human beings, in order to pursue reconciliation and forgiveness. And he achieves sublimation to forgiveness, reconciliation, and even art. The author is illustrating the inner side of human being that did not reach symbolization, and thus, is suffering. He is embodying the relation between the inner side and its outside in detail. The individual who gets wound by conflicts with outside is always an alter ego of the author. And he tries to encounter
