Around the time of the Inter-Korean Summit, the kinds of ‘art’ presented to the South Korean public were benign travel sketches by a few painters. The painters depicted the people or landscape of North Korea as “peaceful scenery of a foreign country” as if they were camels along the Silk Route.

However, it reveals that the development of the typical romantic narrative is embedded with a constant struggle against the class consciousness of the period.
