Abstract

This paper deals with the pros and cons on the Shinganhoi’s deconstruction in media. The Shinganhoi was founded in 1927 as a representative Korean national organization. It was a national cooperative front in which both Korean nationalists and socialists took part for the Korean independent movement. However, after late 1930, a few of local groups of Shinganhoi started to assert that the Shinganhoi should be break down. Motivated by this, in media the pros and cons on the Shinganhoi’s deconstruction were developed actively. Before and after April 1931, the situation of debates on the Shinganhoi’s deconstruction was different. Before April 1931, the majority of opinion leaders opposed to the Shinganhoi’s deconstruction. They thought that the Shinganhoi had the leading power of national movement against Japanese colonial control yet. Especially they stressed the cooperation between nationalists and socialists. The newspaper in which a representative resistive nationalist, Ahn Jaehong wrote many articles against the Shinganhoi’s deconstruction, was Chosunilbo. And the monthly magazine against the Shinganhoi’s deconstruction was Samchulli. After April 1931, the socialists’ articles that the Shinganhoi’s deconstruction was necessary for the popular development of national movement, started to be published in newspapers and magazines. From this time, the pros and cons on the Shinganhoi’s deconstruction were developed realistic. In this period, many socialists who asserted the deconstruction took part in the debates. Among the nationalists who opposed to the deconstruction, only Ahn Jaehong took part in the debates. However, in this period, according to opinion poll by magazines, the cons were more prevalent than the pros of Shinganhoi’s deconstruction. To sum up, on the viewpoint of the Korean national movement, the Shinganhoi’s deconstruction by the part of socialists was the impatient, ineffective, and harmful movement that was not supported by opinion leaders in media.
