[3] Upon the 1945 liberation of Korea, the newspaper's assets were seized by the United States and repurposed into the modern Busan Ilbo.

[4] Many original copies of the newspaper from 1914 to 1944 are now stored in the Busan Simin Municipal Library, although some show signs of fire damage.

In November 1905, it changed its name to Chōsen Jiji Shinpō, and then finally to Fuzan Nippō in October 1907.

On November 26, 1915, a fire broke out in a company building, which necessitated the rebuilding of its printing and office facilities.

[1] In its early years, the newspaper underperformed its longtime rival Chōsen Jihō, which was also based in Busan and predated it by around a decade.

[5] On May 27, 1941,[1] after experiencing two fires and by an order of the Japanese colonial governor for there to only be one paper per province,[1] the Chōsen Jihō was absorbed into the Fuzan Nippō.

The newspaper's Korean employees created a separate paper, Minju Jungbo [ko], which continued to operate until 1949.
