1930년대 충북 지역 官制靑年團 연구

Abstract

In 1920s Korean young men actively developed the campaign for liberation of the oppressed people utilizing limited space for political activities which were allowed by what is called the rule of culture, and they gradually grew as the leading members of the campaign. Japanese imperialism began to organize a young men’s association in order to suppress their activities and include them in the system of Japanese colonial rule. The establishment of the Young Men’s Association which was different from the established young men’s body made by the government in its nature was a Japanese policy to control Korean young men’s whole daily life under the name of agricultural training. The Young Men’s Association made by the government in North Chungcheong Province which differed from the established body organized by the Korean young men in its nature was formed in 1929 for the first time. Since then, colonial policy makers including the county governor, Kim,Ok-hyeon formed the government-made young men’s body. Its organization rapidly spread together with the spread of the campaign for agrarian improvement. In order to induce the Young Men’s Association to act on the directions of colonial power, the colonial policy makers made a systematic ordering system at its combined convention. And then policy makers 1930년대 충북 지역 官制靑年團 연구 161inculcated the Korean young men with the idea to japanize Koreans through the various ceremonies of the convention and made them carry out the agricultural administration policy instead of the colonial government through “practice details”. The Government-made Young Men’s Association in North Chungcheong Province was the most active organization in the country because of the following reason ; As there were many hills and mountains in the Province,its agricultural output was little. And the economic situation of the local residents grew worse because of various kinds of natural disasters in 1930s,and relatively socialist forces couldn’t cope with the situation systematically. Because of such a poor economic and political condition in the Province,Korean young men began to participate in the Association to get a little economic benefit at the time of their participation. The local government of North Chungcheong Province reflected the demand of the colonial power through the combined conventions and all kinds of meetings and forced the young men to proceed with what is called practice details which were decided beforehand. Therefore the members of the association tried to recover their household economy, however, in the end they could not but take the course of carrying out the agricultural administration policy instead of the colonial government. With such regulations Japanese imperialism tried to reinforce its system of colonial rule by mobilizing the Korean young men for brainwashing to inculcate Korean young men with the idea to japanize Koreans, activities to improve the rural villages as a part of the campaign for agrarian improvement, and various kinds of activities which needed support staffs for colonial administration.
