1920∼1930년대 金燦의 사회주의운동과 민족협동전선

Kim-Chan’s Socialist Movement and National Co-operated Front Movement in the 1920s~1930s

This paper examined Kim Chan’s overall socialist movements in light of the pursuit of the National Co-operated Front Movement. In 1923, Kim brought socialists into Korburo and contributed to the development of the first Chosen Communist Party and Korean Communist Youth Association. In the meantime, he also worked together with socialists across different fields of social movements, including the youth movement. By late 1925, the first Chosen Communist Party and Korean Communist Youth Association were discovered by the Japanese colonial government. Escaped to Shanghai, China, Kim formed Chosen Communist Party of Provisional Shanghai Branch with Kim Dan-ya, Cho Pong-am and Yeo Un-hyeong to make plans for and support the Korean June 10 movement against Japanese imperialism. A year later in 1926, he moved to Manchuria to pioneer a new field of activity and restore Korean social movements in Manchuria. It was here that Kim rebuilt Hwayo Faction’s Chosen Communist Party, Korean Communist Youth Association’s Manchuria administration, and sub-organizations. In the process, Kim was convinced of the need to work with Jungoibu of South Manchuria. During this time, he remained the executive member of the Manchuria administration of Chosen Communist Party, endeavoring to encourage the Manchurian administration to cooperate with Jungoibu. In 1928, Korean socialists in Manchuria began to criticize Kim’s activities for Jungoibu. Even so, Kim insisted on the cooperation between Hwayo Faction socialists in Manchuria and Kookmin-bu. Moreover, he was strongly against Chinese Communist Party’s violent tendency and Comintern that instructed Korean socialists to join CCP, pushing for the concept of extended Korea in Manchuria. As such, Kim Chan maintained the course of National Co-operated Front Movement that pursued the liberation of Korea. After the liberation of Korea, he participated in the activities that were moderate in nature and joined in the cause of Democracy Independence Front, Joint US-USSR Commission and Jinbo-dang (Progressive Party) with Cho Pong-am, remaining on the course followed by National Co-operated Front Movement.
