ABSTRACT

In this article, in order to objectively describe Kwangsoo Lee's independence movement and national movement, the texts written by Kwangsoo Lee’s book “Dosan Changho Ahn” and by Yohan Joo’s book “The collected works of Ahn Dosan” were used. The so called YeonTongJe, United Communication System between Procvisional Government and Korea, was examined in detail. Thus, the connection between the Sooyang Movement Corp (수양 운동 단체) and YeonTongJe of the Provisional Govenment was clarified and explained in detail. The YeonTongJe created by Changho Ahn is similar to the idea of ​​a local secret organization at the time of the New People's Assembly. It was a liaison network that could be used to inform the trends of the interim government and the world situation by mobilizing a secret organization in Korea and mobilize the entire nation in an emergency. The main purpose of the communication system was propaganda and communication. The provisional government of the Republic of Korea suffered due to the lukewarm attitude and financial difficulties of domestic and foreign personnel, and in 1921, a domestic secret organization was discovered and dismantled. When the communication system, which had been consistently promoted since the time of the New People's Assembly, collapsed, Changho Ahn envisioned a legal organization in Korea. Therefore, it seems that Kwangsoo Lee consulted Changho Ahn when he left the sea. Kwangsoo Lee joined the Heungsadan in 1919, worked in the Wondong committee, and returned to Korea in 1921 to organize the Sooyang Alliance(수양동맹회). The Sooyang Alliance was renamed as the Sooyangdongwoo Association(수양동우회) in 1926, and the Dongwoo Association(동우회) in 1929. These were foster movement groups, but in reality they were the forward base of the national enlightenment movement. At the time, it was a time when the Japanese police closely monitored the behavior of Koreans and suppressed them if they showed a monochromatic color. Therefore, the temporary government of the Republic of Korea needed to create a camouflage group that could act as a communication system with permission from the policemen to avoid the surveillance network. The activist group's activity was clearly revealed in 1937 as a Dongwoo company. The prosecution clearly states that the Dongwoo Association was a group aimed at the independence of Joseon. When the domestic communication network was completely blocked by the collapse of the Friendship Association, the possibility of the South Korean Provisional Government to establish the Korean Liberation Army was established to rebuild the domestic communication network. Therefore, although it is true that Kwangsoo Lee turned to pro-Japanese after 1938, it is necessary to describe both the positive and negative accomplishments(功過) strictly. Worked pro-life for a lifetime or returned to work in 1921 to work as a pro-day
