This research aimed at analyzing the theory of movement of Jeong, inbo and Dong-A Ilbo from 1920s to early and mid 1930, checking the agreement between the two, and investigating the development of Jeong, inbo"s "Joseonhak"(Joseon studies) movement therein. It was determined that Dong-A Ilbo and Jeong, inbo formed a steady bond of sympathy on national movement. That could be found in the fact that both of them asserted the development of independent national culture as an urgent problem of national movement, which took Joseon as the unit. In the point that the selected urgent problem was the development of independent national culture based on the same ideological foundation, nationalism, agreement of the two existed. Therefore, Jeong, inbo, who began to make relationship with Dong-A Ilbo from 1924, at the latest, clarified his political opinion through Dong-A Ilbo, as well, utilized it as the major stage of developing Joseonhak movement of 1930s.
Jeong, inbo"s study on Joseonhak was progressed by being interconnected with national culture enhancement planning of Dong-A Ilbo. Jeong, inbo serially published a bibliographical introduction of a classical work of Joseon in Dong-A Ilbo, and asserted historic place preservation such as Admiral Yi Sun-sin enhancement project, etc. by receiving Song, jinwoo"s advice. Also, he serially published "Yangmyunghak-yeonron" in Dong-A Ilbo, one of his major achievement in 66 installments. In Dasan commemoration business, the opportunity of regular Joseon studies movement, Jeong, inbo published editorial and thesis in Dong-A Ilbo and conducted commemorative lecture. "Eol-sagwan"(historical view by national spirit), peak of Jeong, inbo"s Joseon studies research, was also published in Dong-A Ilbo.
This way, Jeong, inbo"s Joseon studies research was developed through the medium, Dong-A Ilbo. This proved that his Joseonhak movement was developed by being mutually closely interlocked with cultural movement theory of Dong-A Ilbo, accordingly, it is not valid to divide the two into compromise and non-compromise, or left/right nationalism.
