Singanhoe
1927–1931 Korean nationalist group / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Singanhoe (Korean: 신간회) or the New Trunk Association was a Korean independence activist group founded on February 15, 1927 during the Japanese colonial period. It unified Korean socialist and nationalist factions and maintained a unilateral independence movement until May 1931. Including both Korean and overseas branches, this organization was able to attract a total membership of between 30,000 and 40,000 people. While internal strife between leftist and rightist factions was a consistent obstacle, the Singanhoe actively pursued several goals:
- the abolishment of racial, political, and economic oppression
- the attainment of freedoms of speech, organization, association, and publishing
- the support of youth and women's equality movements
- the overturning of factionalism and clan nepotism
- the opposition to the East Asia Colonial Development Company
- the propagation of the economic frugality movement.
