ABSTRACT

This thesis tries to illuminate one aspect of Kwangsoo Lee's politics of immanent in his Pro-Japanese activities, especially examining mutual exchange of two persons since 1940. For this I consider 14 letters Kwangsoo Lee sent to Tokutomi-Soho from 1935 to 1944, documents of reminiscence and newspapers media, as remember reconstructing the relationship between Soho' Joseon and Kwangsoo Lee. Soho was the superviser of Gyeongseong Daily News from 1910 to 1918. After that he had much power over media and publishing in Joseon as chief the Japanese emperor media, as member of Central Joeson Association throughout colonial period. Kwangsoo Lee had kept soho at a respectable distance from the first meet. But after death of Abe Misuie in 1936, Soho had been a powerful supporter succeeding Abe, and an associate of empire power that can not be negligible. Soho had taken active and defensive attitudes toward Kwangsoo Lee. But Kwangsoo Lee had taken passive and formal attitudes toward Soho consistently. Sometimes Kwangsoo Lee demanded full support from Soho in reward of cooperation and sometimes he kept his distance away Soho strategically. It is no wonder that mutual exchange of two persons based an asymmetric power relationship between emperor and colony was restricted to using each other fully.
