TOH Sangrok is one of the few Korean physicists during the Colonial Era. He investigated the theoretical physics, and wrote articles on quantum mechanics to widespread it among the general public. His works were very important achievement in Colonial Korea, although they are not well known even today. This paper considers his works within the context of the history of Korean science, and discusses his behavior in terms of the "Colonial science," to clarify the situation of science in the Colonial Korea.
