Chin-Tan Hakpo

It provided a space for Korean scholars during the colonial period to publish their work in a Korean-language journal.

[2] Yi Pyong-do, a founder of the Chin-Tan Society, argued that Korea should be studied by Koreans, rather than just colonial Japanese scholars.

[3] In 1941, publishing was stopped by the Japanese colonial authorities on the basis on war-time paper shortages during World War II.

Publishing was restarted after independence but stopped due to the outbreak of the Korean War.

[4] Publishing would restart on June 1955, after the end of the Korean War, with the issue of the 17th volume of the Chin-Tan Hakpo.
