Yeom Sang-seop (Korean: 염상섭) (1897–1963) was a South Korean novelist and freedom fighter.[1] He was an early pioneer of modern narrative in Korea and a "writer of the period of dissatisfaction". In this role, he was one of the first naturalistic and realistic writers in Korean literature.[2] His role in the resistance to Japanese colonialism resulted in his arrest.
