Japanese colonial era Eom Hang-seop's independence movement: Focusing on youth organization activities

This study focuses on youth organizational activities, especially during Eom Hang-seop's Japanese colonial era independence movement. Eom Hang-seop's youth organization activities continued from the Young Men's League in 1924 to the Korea Liberation Front Youths Mission Corps in 1939. It is no exaggeration to say that Eom Hang-seop's independence movement was mainly youth organization activities until he served as a member of the Provisional Government's State Council in the 1940s. Eom Hang-seop joined young people by participating in youth organizations or guiding them behind the scenes in China. In Shanghai, He participated directly as members of the youth organization, mainly at the youth movement level. During the period of the provisional government's move, he formed or guided anti-Japanese organizations centered on young people. Participating organizations also varied from left-right coalition organizations to nationalist organizations and youth organizations as separate partners of political parties. Eom Hang-seop was the driving force of the youth organization in China in name and reality.
