AB - This study has the purpose to research how the nationalist political group which accepted and internalized revised modified capitalism under Japanese imperialism recognized and responded to the rise of fascism in 1930s, the global stream of the times, through Dong-A-Ilbo group recognition of and response to the situation.
Dong-A-Ilbo maintained the critical keynote for the Japanese governance system until the mid-1930s.
It expressed concern and caution about the rise of the Japanese militarism from the early 1930s, attributed the background of the militarism to fascism rising over the world and showed its attitude to criticize the nationalism and to champion democracy. It also aggressively publicized the anti-fascism popular front when this was raised in Europe in 1935.
Dong-A-Ilbo followed the tactical decision to support the anti-fascism popular front that went against fascism and militarism on a global level because it judged that the rise of fascism over the world and the Japanese fascistic militarism would further keep the independence of Choseon and democratic rearrangement from happening rather than it agree the ideology or the political line.
However, as it was suspended for an indefinite period for 10 months because of the incident of erasure of Japanese national flag of Son Ki-Cheong in 1936, Dong-A-Ilbo changed its attitude. Submitting to the strong policy of press control of the Japanese imperialism, it compromised with the Japanese imperialism and changed its tone of the press to supporting and propagandizing Japanese policies. Moreover, as Song Chin-woo, who took the lead in Dong-A-Ilbo in 1920s and 1930s, stepped down, its leaders group got to change. Although the nationalist groups were voluntarily won over to the Japanese fascistic system, Dong-A-Ilbo appeared to be submissive to the Japanese fascistic system rather than won over to or regulated by the Japanese system. However, Dong-A-Ilbo’s discontinuance forced by the Japanese imperialism gave its groups, which were submissive to the Japanese fascistic system, justification to politically revive as a nationalist movement group. This situation was the historical background of Dong-A-Ilbo group who were able to be at the center of the concentration of the domestic nationalist groups and the right wing groups immediately after the liberation of Korea.
