Kim Dae-woo (July 10, 1900 – April 22, 1976) was an independence activist during the Japanese colonial period. He was a pro-Japanese anti-ethnic activist and bureaucrat. He was from Gangdong-gun, Pyeongannam-do, and his hometown was Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

He was appointed governor of Jeollabuk-do in 1943 and governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do in June 1945. Immediately after liberation in August of that year, he participated in negotiations for administrative and security rights, and served as the first governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do, which was liberated immediately after liberation, and resigned on October 12 of that year.

In 1919, while attending the Department of Mining at Gyeongseong Technical College, he participated in the March 1st Independence Movement that year and was sentenced to seven months in prison. In 1925, he passed the bureaucratic recruitment examination of the Japanese Government-General of Korea and served as a bureaucrat.

Even after liberation, he was trusted by the U.S. military government and remained as governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do, dismissing Japanese officials and former Governor-General officials and appointing new figures as county heads, but embezzled public funds and fled in 1946. On May 10, 1948, he ran as an independent in the first constitutional parliamentary election, but failed, and ran for the fifth and sixth parliamentary elections, but failed.

early activity
In 1918, he entered the Department of Mining at Kyungsung Technical College, the predecessor of Seoul National University's College of Engineering. In 1919, when I was a sophomore in the Department of Mining at Gyeongseong Technical College, the March 1st Independence Movement took place in March of that year. Kim Dae-woo participated in the Manse Movement and participated in the Tapgol Park protest, was arrested, sentenced to seven months in prison, and was released after imprisonment.

However, after graduating from Gyeongseonggongjeon, he studied in Japan and went on to the engineering department of Kyushu Imperial University. After graduating from Kyushu Imperial University's engineering department in 1925, he passed the recruitment examination for the administration of the Japanese Government-General of Korea in the same year, and became a famous pro-Japanese group official.

bureaucratic life
Kim Dae-woo started his government post at the Forestry Investigation Committee of the Governor-General and was promoted to the governor of Parkcheon-gun, Pyeonganbuk-do (1928) and the head of the industrial division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (1930).

In 1936, he was appointed as the head of the social education department of the Governor-General's Office, and this position, the spearhead of Hwang Min-hwa's policy, was an important position for those from the Japanese High Civil Service Examination. While serving in this position, Kim Dae-woo was commissioned by the Ministry of Education in 1937 to write "The Story of the People of the Hwangguk," and schools at various levels forced him to memorize, advocate, and publish all books.

In 1939, he was appointed as a participant and interior minister of Jeollanam-do, a supervisor of the Financial Union Federation, a member of the Jeonnam Air Defense Committee, and a preliminary member of the Gwangju Thought Protection Observation Committee.

In 1940, he went through the Gyeongsangnam-do participation office and the head of the industrial department and reached the Jeollabuk-do branch in 1943. When he served as a governor of Jeollabuk-do Province, he also served as the head of the Labor Mobilization Association, which oversees the conscription.

Analysts say that Kim Dae-woo's secret to his quick promotion was his special loyalty to the Japanese Empire. According to the testimony of Lee Hang-nyeong, who passed the high civil service examination during the Japanese colonial period, served as a county governor, and repented several times after liberation, Kim Dae-woo, who served as the head of the Gyeongnam Industry Department when he was the head of Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, not only forcibly allocated rice to each county, but also increased the quota absurdly, saying he did not believe the reported inventory. Kim Dae-woo, who had been promoted repeatedly, was appointed governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do in June 1945, two months before the end of the Pacific War, and was liberated.

after liberation
Immediately after liberation, he was temporarily appointed as a deputy director of the police bureau under the direction of Governor Nobuyuki Abe, participated in negotiations with Koreans such as Song Jin-woo and Ahn Jae-hong for the administrative transfer process, and remained as governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do. According to a report by the U.S. military government, 'He was a man of ability, and his tenure undoubtedly seemed to promote the greatest efficiency in local government.

With the support of the 40th Division, Kim Dae-woo carried out the replacement of various military and other regional officials, who removed the Japanese and named the Koreans.' After September 2, the U.S. military government took over the administrative functions of the governor-general, and he continued to serve as a governor of North Gyeongsang Province, but only stepped down as an advisor to the U.S. military governor on October 19.

He was summoned to the investigation department of the Special Crime Review Committee in February 1946 on charges of embezzlement of 30,000 won in public funds while serving as the Gyeongbuk branch of the U.S. military government, but soon fled. He had been on the run since 1946, and was wanted, but soon faded away.

since the establishment of the government
On May 10, 1948, he ran as an independent in the first constitutional parliamentary election, but failed. He was arrested by the Special Investigation Committee on Anti-National Acts in 1949 and was sentenced to three years in prison on September 2 of that year by Kwak Sang-hoon, a judge of the Anti-People's Special Committee. It was released when the Anti-People's Special Committee was disbanded and was not applied except for a three-year sentence of suspension of civil rights.

In 1951, Ko Si-jin, a Japanese government official who served as a local official in Joseon, secretly visited Busan and met with Jang Taek-sang, but Jang Taek-sang resigned as prime minister due to the revelation of the Jokcheong community. Kim Dae-woo was urgently arrested by the police on September 28, 1952 in connection with the smuggling of Go Si-jin and the smuggling of Busan. On October 22, the detention period was dissuaded, but he continued to be arrested for other reasons, and Kim Dae-woo argued that the arrest was unfair and appointed lawyer Jang Jun-taek as his lawyer and appealed. On February 8, 1953, he was released after receiving a non-prosecution and suspension disposition.

After that, he ran for the fifth National Assembly election in 1960, but failed to win the Democratic nomination. On June 22 of that year, he was nominated by the Democratic Party of Korea and ran for the National Assembly. Some raised suspicions that the Democratic Party leader at the time of the scene recommended and helped him to run. In July 1961, shortly after the May 16 military coup, he was accused of trying to smuggle Japanese drugs by helping Democratic Party ministers when the military government tried to court those involved in the Democratic Party of Korea. In 1963, he ran for the 6th National Assembly election, but also failed.
