Na To-hyang

Na Kyeong-son, who signed as Na To-hyang, was born in Seoul in 1902, the eldest son of a doctor. A graduate of Baejae high school in 1919, he entered the Seoul school of medicine, then left secretly for Japan, from which he returned for lack of money for his studies. He taught in 1920 at a school in Andong, then in 1922 joined the magazine Baekjo, where he made his debut, and the same year published a serialised novel in the Dong-A Ilbo. His work, at first sentimental, turned towards poverty and rural life. He died in 1926, shortly after a second stay in Japan.
