In 1922, as a result of the integration movement of independence movement groups in the southern Manchuria region, the Korean Unification Ministry was organized. In imperialist Japan, the Daehantonguibu was recognized as the most threatening and dangerous independence movement organization at the time. The group's most active independence movement was fundraising and armed struggle.
In this article, among the military fundraising activities of the Daehantonguibu, examples of military fundraising in the domestic region were identified. In particular, it was said that it was a domestic activity after 1925, when the Ministry of Unification Affairs was progressively resolved, and the Japanese authorities were also in a very embarrassing position. Therefore, it was also named the ‘Jeonbuk Tonguibu’ incident.
In June 1928, while the Singanhoe movement was actively developing nationwide, the ‘Jeonbuk Tonguibu’ incident, which occurred in Iri, Jeonju, and Gimje, Jeollabuk-do, was an independence movement that the Japanese authorities paid great attention to. This 'Jeonbuk Tonguibu' incident was a glimpse into the fact that the Daehantonguibu, which was active in Manchuria around 1925, maintained its name and developed an independence movement even after the developmental dissolution of the three departments, Jeonguibu and Chamuibu.
Jo In-hyeon, the protagonist of the 'Jeonbuk Tonguibu Incident', raised military funds while building a human network in the Jeonbuk region for a relatively long time. In particular, he converted the proceeds from the sale of land into military funds, and also established a plan to manufacture bombs in Korea with the military funds. However, in the process of raising military funds, he was captured by the Japanese police and failed to achieve his intended goal. This incident is seen as a representative example of an independence movement organization in Manchuria related to domestic military fundraising in the late 1920s.
