105인 사건 피의자들의 사건 이후 행적에 관한 소고 - 친일로 경도된 9인을 대상으로-

Abstract

This article selects nine convicts of the Korean Conspiracy Case who became Japanese collaborators after the case, and deals with their pro-Japanese activities. It grouped their pro-Japanese activities into three categories. First, Kim Dong-Won, Yi Geun-Taek, Yi Chun-Seop, and Cha Gyun-Seol became Japanese collaborators as they were engaged in business after their release from prison. Second, Na Il-Bong, Jang Eung-Jin, and Yun Chi-Ho began to work with the Japanese immediately after their release. Finally, two brothers, Ok Seong-Bin and Ok Gwan-Bin exiled themselves to Shanghai, China, were suspected to be Japanese spies, and were murdered on that account. The first group of four individuals participated in business, religious activities,and national improvement movement after their prison term, but became active Japanese collaborators since the mid-1930s. They were all Christian businessmen. The Na and Jang of the second group became members of the Japanese Johap Church. Na, in particular, became an ordained minister of the church, and actively participated in pro-Japanese activities. The two Ok brothers were killed in China in 1933. Ok Seong-Bin exiled himself to Shanghai upon release from prison and god involved in nationalist activities. But he was regarded as a person to be watched. Ok Gwan-Bin, on the other hand, made a huge fortune and became a prominent person among Korean communities in China. However, Korean nationalists in China considered him a double-crossing traitor, and a group of Korean undercover executioners assassinated him. The people involved in the Korean Conspiracy Case suffered greatly. However, some continued to walk along the path of nationalist cause, while others chose a practical way of submission and collaboration. The nine persons of this article chose the latter option.
