다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Most of previous works about Kyu-sik Kim's political activities describes him as idealist who puts emphasis on political ideas and motives. Thorough investigation of his political activities from 1945 to 1948, however, leads us to find new fact that he has also some aspects of political realist who sets high value on political outcomes and interests. The reasons for that are as follows:
First, when he was selected "president" by the American Military Government officials in 1946, he showed his desire for power. Second, when the UN general assembly decided to hold an election in Korean Peninsular in 1947, he welcomed it. He changed his position, however, when the UN little assembly decided to hold election in Southern part of Korean Peninsular in 1948. He thought that his participation in the election was disadvantageous to his political interests because he had very weak organizational power in South Korea. Third, even though he initiated "north-south joint conference idea", he was very negative and pessimistic about that conference after he saw the translation of Pyongyang draft constitution of Korean People's Republic which meant the actual establishment of North Korean separate regime. Fourth, American Military Government officials thought that while on surface Kyu-sik Kim cried out for "unification of Korea", in reality basic cause of his proposal for north-south conference and acceptance of Pyongyang's invitation was realization that he had no real following. They had also information that Kyu-sik Kim had secretly(because he was openly boycotted election) told his friends to nominate candidates and campaign for them in the first general election in 1948. In all consideration of these facts, we find that Kyu-sik Kim has also some aspects of political realist as well as political idealist.
