ABSTRACT

The Yeongnam Fraternal Society was a social gathering of the people from South and North Gyeongsang Province residing in Seoul. This Society, established in September 1927, consisted of landowners, bourgeoisie, and a small number of socialists. An Gwang-cheon, the general secretary to the secret society Korean Communist Party, became a member of the Society. He believed that this society was needed to utilize the local council elections of Governor-General of Korea. However, the rank-and-file members of the Korean Communist Party regarded alliances with pro-Japanese people as inappropriate. They thought that such alliances would weaken the foundation of the National United Front, or Singanhoe. In order to struggle against the Yeongnam Fraternal Society, they organized a series of campaigns, which received widespread support. Thus, in October 1927, the Korean Community Party was divided into two factions. The leading faction of the Communist Party, led by An Gwang-cheon, expelled non-mainstream leaders from the Central Committee of the Party. The expelled non-mainstream communists organized their own Communist party.
