Therefore, reviewing the researches related to traditional music on the newspapers and magazines before 1943 is not properly accomplished. Consequently, the aim of this paper is that the research of the Japanese colonial period is highlighted through the study of Kugak developed in the period. During the Japanese colonial periode when the academic journals that presented the result of studies were extremely rare, considerable amount of researches related in Korean traditional music were published in the newspapers and magazines. It is evident in some 450 studies of Kugak on the newspapers and magazines. The academic work was most active prominent from the mid-1920s to the late 1930s. Most studies published during this period dealt with various topics such as the music history, instruments, musicians and rhythm as well as sijo 時調, minyo 民謠 and hyangga 鄕歌 which consist of literary research along with others related to folklore 民俗學. Most of the studies were fundamentally based on literature review, however, some of the studies narrate the phenomenon of the Korean traditional music which had passed on until the time during which the studies were conducted. Observing the traits of the authors such as An Hwak 安廓, Ham Hwa-jin 咸和鎭, Yi Chong-t'ae 李鍾泰, Song Sŏk-ha 宋錫夏, Kim T'ae-jun 金台俊, Cho Yun-jae 趙潤濟, Yi Pyŏng-gi 李秉岐, Ishikawa 石川義一, Tanaka 田中初夫, and Takahashi 高橋亨, it is notable there are few experts on the research of Korean traditional music and that most studies on such a topic was carried out by experts from other fields, those especially from the field of culture, history and Korean tradition.
