ABSTRACT

To explain social and political meanings about ‘the Pro-Japanese Group’that had existed during the Japanese Occupation period in Korea, it is needed to give a careful attention to their own position, goal, and the process of achieving it. Pro-Japanese problems can be explained from the aspect of demanding suffrage. This paper focuses on the role that ‘the League of Interested Persons from Each Group’ played in the course of the suffrage movement. First, the character of this league will be grasped by classifying members of the league according to political movements they had developed. Then,leaders of that league will be abstracted and their intention to organize it will be examined as well. The organization of ‘the League of Interested Persons from Each Group’ is considered as a result of searching for a solution to the problems that the National Association(國民協會) faced in the progress of suffrage movement in early 1920s. Consequently, the activities of that league were not only a trial of obtaining their own field in Korean society for the Pan-Suffragist forces who admitted Japanese sovereignty over Korea, but also a change from the movement of petitioning Japanese parliament and government to the mass movement for the Korean people by that time. Moreover, the activities of that league can be regarded as the first step of the process of forming suffragist forces during the Japanese Occupation period,not the discontinuous thing. Therefore, having an accurate grasp of the role ‘The League of Interested Persons from Each Group’ played at that time would be indispensable to understand the history of suffrage movement in Korea generally.
