During this period a few cine artists who have a national soul moved in shanghai because Japan official had strongly inspected korean movie. One of the Refugee of Korean cine-artist is Jeong, Gitak. At that time a movie dealing with patriotism could not be producted in korea. But Korean refugee filmmaker could made <Aegukhon (애국혼)>(1928) in Sanghai. its story is that issued Ahn Joong-keun shot to Itohirobumi.
