Sunwoo Gap (1893–?) served as a spy for the Japanese police during the Japanese occupation. The domicile was Taewon.

Life
He was the younger brother of Sun Woo-soon, who served as the chairman of the Daedong-dong Branch of the pro-Japanese organization and the Central Committee of the Joseon Governor-General. He was from Pyongyang and worked as a high-ranking detective for the Japanese police.

At the time of the February 8 Declaration of Independence in 1919, he was dispatched to Tokyo, Japan, and played a role in monitoring international students. Sunwoo Gap, who led the raid on the YMCA headquarters in Tokyo, made a great contribution to the arrest of Song Gye-baek and Choi Pal-yong and other leading figures of the case. With this opportunity, Sunwoo Gap gained great confidence in the Japanese Empire.

In 1919, while serving as a police officer at the Japan Police Agency, he collected information on Ahn Chang-ho and other temporary government officials in Shanghai, China, and in 1920, he collected information on independence activists working in the United States. Sunwoo Gap was dispatched as a reporter from abroad to monitor the overseas independence movement and induce international public opinion to the negative side of Joseon's independence.

In 1925, he served as a military police spy in Andong County, China, and in September of the same year, he promoted anti-Asianism to several Chinese warlords who were active in Zhangjiaqou. Kim Gu's "Baekbeom Diary" features an anecdote that Sunwoo Gap, who was a spy in Shanghai, where the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was located, was captured alive and released after receiving a promise to pay back his sins.

In 2002, it was selected along with Sunwoo Soon on the 708-member pro-Japanese group jointly announced by the National Assembly to establish national spirit and the Liberation Association. The list of 195 pro-Japanese anti-national activities announced by the Korean Committee on the Truth and Reconciliation of Anti-national Activities in 2007 and the list of prospective pro-Japanese biographical dictionaries compiled by the Institute for National Affairs in 2008 are also included.
