Park Doo-young (28 November 1880 – 10 February 1960) was a soldier during the Korean Empire and Japanese occupation. As a former Japanese military officer, he served as the head of the civil affairs team of the intelligence organization organized in Manchuria. Its hometown is Buk-myeon, Dongnae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do.

Life
His real name was Park Joong-soo, but he changed his name in 1902. Bae Jung-ja, a Japanese spy, studied in Japan as a state-funded student in the Korean Empire, who selected eight people, including her husband, Hyun Young-woon, and graduated from the Japanese Military Academy. He was a student of the 15th Army of Japan and was a colleague of independence activists Ryu Dong-ryul and Lee Gap. Unlike those who defected after graduation, Park Doo-young has gained great trust in Japan since he was commissioned in 1904 as a Korean Empire Army artillery attack, leading the eradication of righteous army and arresting and executing the famous righteous army commander Lee Kang-nyeon in Jecheon-gun.

He was dispatched as a military advisor to Manchuria, but served as the head of the People's Livelihood Group, a spy organization founded by the Japanese Empire in 1932, and served as the central council of the Joseon Governor-General from 1937 to the time of liberation. The case of the People's Livelihood Group was mentioned separately in Kim Il-sung's memoir "Along with the Century" as it greatly damaged the independence movement in Manchuria, and Park Doo-young's activities around this time were also described in relatively detail.

In 1933, he served as a councilor of the Dongminhoe, a pro-Japanese group, and in 1934, he served as an advisor to the Gando Cooperation Headquarters and vice director of the Gando Regional Secretariat of the Manchukuo Cooperation Association.

During the Pacific War, he lectured on tours to Gyeongsangnam-do and recommended conscription and conscription support. He also served as a director of Geumgang Air Industrial Co., Ltd. to produce war-supporting airplanes.

In 1949, after liberation, he was arrested by the Special Investigation Committee on Anti-National Acts. He was the first person in North Chungcheong Province to be arrested for violating Article 1 of the Anti-National Act. Given his colorful pro-Japanese career, the death sentence was considered a strong candidate, but he was later released after the anti-citizen committee collapsed.

It was included in both the list of 708 pro-Japanese groups selected by the National Assembly Group in 2002 and the list of prospective pro-Japanese dictionaries compiled by the Institute for National Affairs in 2008. It is also included in the list of 195 people who are pro-general national activities announced by the Korea Committee on the Truth and Reconciliation of Pro-General National Acts in 2007.
