He was also a typical intellectual who performed cultural cold wars with his borderless, international cold war experience. He led to entrench anticommunism( and the divided country, the result of that) in the center of South Korea's internal cold war that had been intensified after the establishment of separate government. During the Korean war period, he also led cultural wars by the stable connection between the media and the literature organizations of which the group of the defector intellectuals to south Korea. In a word, Oh Young Jin was a hidden cultural cold war planner. The process of that was promoted/limited by the access to the worldwide cold war. The cultural cold war planning by Oh Young Jin reached its peak at his planning of Composite Art Festival held by Korean Culture Institute.

So that it spread and reproduced geometric and ideologic hostility between South and North Korea, and served to recognize exclusively the superiority of South Korean ruling system at the same time. Living Lee Jung Sang his excellency is the text for the strong purpose of proving Oh Young Jin himself in conversion situation, as it implies and justifies the moment pro－Japanese winning the internal cold war was reborn who dominated south Korean cultural fields by logic of ideological blocs and led cultural cold wars in the name of patriotism. Oh Young Jin's cultural cold wars during the hot war could be pushed forward with material foundations of the institute and media, in addition to the aid from AFIED(Armed Forces Information and Education Division) of Korea defense ministry, the US information service, and Asia foundation. The group of defector intellectuals to south Korea was able to join stably in Korean nation and orthodox culture by the strong bond with Asia foundation especially, so that it made an outpost for ideological( psychological) and cultural wars to communism. The artistic strategy and logic of Oh Young Jin is 'record priority principle.' The emphasis on record was a effective method for urgent anti－communism struggle, as a result of ambition to seize the initiative in cultural cold wars. It was also a method of an access to western cold war art that the 'record priority principle' of Korean national reality which was focussed on globally. North Korea under Soviet Union military government is the strategic text on record priority principle.
