Abstract

This research focused on a Korean independence movement organization named Shinminhwe (New People’s Association). Shinminhwe is a secret organization that was formed in 1907 and moved for 4 years. During its movement Shinminhwe managed to bring the idea of progress into Korea. This idea of progress influenced the formation of modern Korean identity in the early 20th century. This research aims to further explore Shinminhwe’s influence on the formation of a modern Korean identity through the thoughts and movements of its three main figures. The three figures are Ahn Chang Ho, Kim Gu and Lee Seung Hoon. This study uses Lloyd structuralism methodology as a model in interpreting the thoughts of these three figures towards the formation of a modern Korean identity.
