Resumen:
Like many other refugees, North Korean (NK) intellectuals, i.e., poets and writers did witness the NK reality. After having left their home country, they quite conceivably turn to their homeland in their works. Literary image shaping studies have discovered a notably varied significance in presenting the images of native countries. In this regard, the North Korean writers living outside DPRK have an extraordinary role in addressing the universe of North Korea. Their literary works convey complex inner issues to the wider world outside, introducing them in a more forceful and apparent for reader way. In this light, this here paper is an endeavor to analyze how and by what means North Korean refugees refer to DPRK in their works. At the same time, this study will help us grasp whether refugee poets' literary interpretations are advantageous for the DPRK official country image generated by propaganda for domestic and foreign consumption. On the way to the stated goal the paper aims at examining of the images of DPRK met in literary discourses. The verses of various refugee poets published in South Korea served material to achieve the purpose of the study, as well as appropriate examples were translated from Korean. © 2023 A. Ryzhkov and N.
