초록
The Korean radicals who gathered around the Korean Independence news during the Pacific War maintained anti-Syngman Rhee position after Korean liberation. They opposed the policies of the United States Army Forces in Korea (HUSAFI) during the U. S. occupation as well as the establishment of South Korean government in 1948. They supported North Korean regime. After the outbreak of Korean War, the U.S. government and the congress started to investigate Korean Independence group. The leading figures of Korean Independence group were summoned to the HUAC hearings, i.e., Diamond Kimm, Peter Hyun, David Hyun, Harold Sunwoo, and Josel Namkoong. There were three accusations for them. The first one was on the letter written by Samin Lee and Harold Sunwoo to Kim Ilsung and Park Honyoung of North Korea in 1948. HUAC members argued that the summoned Korean witnesses were communist according to the letter of 1948. The second point was on the anti-U. S. position of Korean Independence news during the Korean War period such as withdrawing the U. S. forces from Korea and so called Germ warfare by the U. S. forces. The third one was regarding the activities of Los Angeles Committee for Protection of Foreign Born which was organized by U. S. Communist Party. HUAC and federal agencies wanted to argue that the leading figures of Korean Independence news were communists and advocators of subversion of the U. S. government by force. After HUAC hearings, some of Korean Independence group were arrested and deported by U. S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Five Koreans including Diamond Kimm, Choongsoon Kwak, Choonja Kwak, John Juhn, and Anna Song were deported to North Korea and several Koreans such as David Hyun, Doosik Shyn, Sangryup Park, and Josel Namkoong were threatened to be deported by INS. David Hyun was harassed by INS for 16 years. The Korean deportees struggled for years based on U. S. constitution but finally chose the voluntary departure. They thought that North Korea might be their homeland. They arrived at Pyongyang via Prague, Czechoslovakia, but there was no news from them ever afterward.
