ABSTRACT

Jung Oonbok鄭雲復 was a japanese collaborator in period of Japanese occupation. But we must not discount his acting for patriotic enlightenment movement. He insisted exclusive use of Hangeul, and made efforts for patriotic enlightenment through public speech and newspaper editorials. We pay attention to his editorials about custom improvement and women enlightenment. It is different from other intellectuals’ direction in those days. His insisting is based on the discourse that Western culture is good. He insisted exclusive use of Hangeul but his writings have traditional Chinese style. In the writing style his newspaper editorials mainly have sensitive tendency of speech. Such a phenomenon was from his enlightening attitude and an agitative speech. On the other hand he wrote newspaper editorials very concretely. Because he wanted his writing would be used as guide for readers about concrete matters. It is also involved in enlightening attitude.
