100 Years Ago Today \u00b7 Evening Edition<\/h1>\n

Wednesday, October 27, 1926 \u00b7 Gyeongseong (Seoul) \u00b7 10:10 PM KST (1:10 PM UTC)<\/p>\n

“10:10 – As the clock smiles, reflect on a century of history”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. Hook Opening<\/h2>\n

As you wind down your day, picture Seoul on this evening a century ago. Somewhere in the Jongno district, a pawnshop owner has been shot dead with a pistol. Since then, threatening letters have been landing in the homes of the city’s rich. On the morning of October 27, 1926, the Dong-A Ilbo reported that police had posted uniformed and plainclothes officers outside some sixty wealthy households. The paper also told readers it had printed an extra edition, then an extra to the extra. On page one, in a single line, it noted that its own October 26 issue, No. 2205, had been seized and banned from sale. No reason was given.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

2. Korea Under Colonial Rule<\/h2>\n

Korea in 1926 was in its sixteenth year as a Japanese colony. The newspaper’s page two reads like a crime serial. Headlines say the gunshots rang out “at the instant of the evening meal.” The killer shot the owner and fled. The only physical evidence was a bullet found at the scene, which police believed came from a nine-round automatic pistol. A senior officer of the Jongno police political section said, in effect, that the security deployment had been thirty minutes late.<\/p>\n

The victim reportedly died without a word, shot in the chest. Autopsy was set for October 26, with a Dr. Koyama performing it and Prosecutor Nakano attending. Police detained people who had simply walked past the shop, but according to the headline the effort “came to nothing.” Two Seoul precinct stations searched houses, and Incheon police watched the sea routes.<\/p>\n

The letters were the bigger fear. At Chebu-dong, an armed man reportedly turned up at a wealthy home and demanded “military funds” before vanishing. A separate short item said a group called the Hangeondan would be referred to prosecutors on the 28th for extorting funds from the rich. Whether it is linked to the pawnshop case is not confirmed in the material I read. The victim’s name and the exact time of the shooting also did not appear in the headlines available.<\/p>\n

\n

3. East Asia in Turmoil<\/h2>\n

China dominated page one. The headlines say the Zhejiang rebel leader Xia Chao had fled to Ningbo. Chiang Kai-shek’s Canton government announced that a National Preparatory Conference would follow once fighting settled. Another item reported that Feng Yuxiang was preparing a comeback. In Mukden, the provincial governor issued an order fixing a marriage age and strictly forbidding women to cut their hair short. At Honkeiko, 600 coal-and-iron workers struck before order was restored.<\/p>\n

From Japan came news that the China-Japan commercial treaty strategy was being left to Foreign Minister Shidehara. Closer to home, the paper told Koreans that some 2,000 laborers at the Sinheung hydroelectric site were unsettled, in what it called the first big strike Korea might see. The cause: resentment over bringing in Chinese workers. It also reported 2,400 police posted across some 300 border posts in Hamgyong and North Pyongan provinces.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

4. The World Stage<\/h2>\n

On this day, President Calvin Coolidge told an advertising-agency group by radio that American prosperity rested on “our high rate of wages.” On the same page, the Dong-A Ilbo carried an item about a U.S. movement for a five-day work week and another about the Panamanian president approving a bill to exclude Asian immigrants. In London, the Imperial Conference had been meeting since October 19. It would produce the Balfour Declaration, describing Britain and its dominions as equal, autonomous communities. In Moscow, Kamenev, Trotsky and Zinoviev were being pushed out of the Politburo in late October, though sources differ on exact dates. In Rome, the next day, the Pope was set to consecrate six Chinese bishops.<\/p>\n

\n

5. Colonial Parallels<\/h2>\n

The same week showed how differently empire could look from each side. In London, representatives of Canada, Australia, South Africa and other dominions were bargaining over equal status inside the British Empire. In Seoul, a newspaper was seized for reasons it could not print, and a regional governor’s plan for a medical school was not approved. On this same page, a school for youth in Chuncheon was said to be near closing after nineteen years. Youth groups reported being banned from speeches and plays in Mokpo and Jecheon. These are local details, not a full comparison with India, Ireland or the Philippines. I did not verify any specific 1926 event in those places for this edition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

6. Person of the Day<\/h2>\n

The day’s name that stands out is Park Yeol. A headline says Tokyo students sent a protest over “the Park Yeol problem and the labor problem,” and that Prosecutor Yanagisawa was questioning Park. Park was a Korean anarchist held in Japan after the 1923 earthquake; he is widely documented as sentenced to death in March 1926, with the sentence later commuted. Those background details come from general history, not from the headline itself. The pawnshop owner who was shot is also a person of this day, but the name was not available in the sources I read.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

7. Understanding Daily Life<\/h2>\n

Wednesday’s pages are full of schools and small-town life. A Gimcheon geisha reportedly cut her hair short in a group of three seeking to leave the trade. A Pyongyang geisha was said to pick customers’ pockets. In North Pyongan, prisoners were appealing their sentences because their cells were cold. A “morphine” smuggling ring was reported in Seoul, and Seoul’s telephone service was said to be short of lines. A Korean football team on tour in Japan beat Mito High School in two matches, 0 conceded each time. Details about food and market prices on this day were not found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A century later, Korean football and Korean cinema, including the film “Arirang,” which had opened at Dansungsa theater on October 1, are known worldwide. In 1926 they were being made under censorship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

9. Tomorrow’s Preview<\/h2>\n

Tomorrow, October 28, the Hangeondan case is to be referred to prosecutors. On November 4, Korean language scholars will hold the first “Gagyanal,” the ancestor of Hangul Day. Good night, and join us again tomorrow at 10:10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
