This study examines hypothetical subjects appearing in Korean webnovels and the current status of web novel subjects. The hyposubjectemerged as a means of resisting violence in the neoliberal era andexamined how this existence was reproduced in the characters ofcontemporary web novels. Thus, it was confirmed that the subject ofKorean web novels transformed into a subject pursuing the subscenityrevolution as a hyposubject rather than a transcendent hero. Additionally,neoliberalism is a ferocious system that replaces the act of love withcapital, but when the pyramid of the desire to pursue it is overturned,commodity economic values such as the desire for money and socialcapital that filled their inner world collapse and penetrate. Pure love,which comes at the end of the coexistence of the upper emotions thatcause the division of will, can be the release of human desires in amanner that is obsessed with neoliberalism. This is because capitalismdid not invent desire in itself. This study attempts to confirm the sceneof emergence led by the two properties of the hyposubject, squat andimplosion, through analysis.
