In that times, Donga-ilbo's editorial policy was to prefer western literatures and histories and classics of premodern Korean to contemporary literatures and discourses in the arts and letters pages, which was also reflected on decline of socialisit literary ciriticism mainly caused in the supression of colonial rule power. This editorial policy has the common ground with a standpoint of Haewoimunhakpa. They wanted to be recognited as the third group to contruct a differen identity from nationalist literary group and proletariate literary group, with tanslating in Korean and introducing western literatures and claiming importance of their activity for establishment of Korean modern literature. Calling themselves as literary researcher, they tried to enter the contemporary literary world which consisted of novelist, poetes and critics. They continued to publish pure literary magazines, though being children of journlism such as main newpapers and all-aroud magazines, which meaned they faild to be recognized by the literary field. They ogrganized the Society for Research in Dramatic Art, which was a much fruitful activity than former their activities because traslation and performance of modern western dramas for cultural situation of colonial Korea was a attractive thing in oder to attain high grade audiences and readers of highly educated same as Haewoimunhakpa's members.
