Sun Woo-soon (March 1891 – August 8, 1933) was a journalist during the Japanese occupation and worked for pro-Japanese organizations. His younger brother, Sun Woo-gap, is also famous for his big-name pro-Japanese group tactics. The hometown building is Taewon.

Life
He was born in Pyongyang and is not well known about the growth process. It is estimated that Park Eun-sik and Lee Dong-hwi participated in the Nationalist Enlightenment Movement in their early years, based on records written in 1909 in the organ of the Northwest Society. Some say that he was a reporter for the Korean Daily News at this time, but it is also unclear.

He served as a chief writer for the Japanese newspaper Pyongyang Newspaper in 1910, graduated from Boseong Law and Commercial School that year, and graduated from Doshisha University in Japan in 1914. At Doshisha University, he majored in theology and took evangelism classes. This course is also not clearly known, but Lee Myung-hwa is a member of the Pyongyang Giseong Church established by the Japanese Union Church, and is presumed to have come to study abroad in the eyes of the Japanese.

Sun Woo-soon, who returned to Korea after graduating from Doshisha University, became an evangelist of the established church in December 1915, engaged in missionary work under the protection of the Governor-General of Joseon, and also worked as a businessman running a rice mill.

After the March 1 Independence Movement in 1919, the Japanese Union Church's special movement against the Great Country continued throughout the country, and Sun Woo-soon actively participated in lectures held in Hwanghae-do, Pyeongannam-do, and Pyeonganbuk-do to calm the follow-up protests and inform the logic that independence is impossible.

The government also reported the current status of public sentiment to the Japanese Government-General of Korea and suggested countermeasures by the Governor-General in the future.

In 1920, for more systematic propaganda work, the Daedong Dongji Association, which gathered pro-Japanese figures from Pyeongan-do, was formed and inaugurated as the chairman. While touring the country as a member of the Daedong Comrade, Sun Woo-soon argued that England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland in the UK should harmonize with Japan and co-exist. Daedong Comrade published the organ newspaper Daedong Sinbo and the monthly magazine Gongyeong and used this logic to expand and reproduce.

With his fierce performance after the March 1 Independence Movement, he quickly emerged as a pro-Japanese figure representing this period along with Min Min-sik and Yoo Il-sun. According to a study by Makoto Saito, the governor of the Joseon Dynasty, Sun Woo-soon topped the list of interviews (46 times, 2nd place was Song Byung-jun 33 times), 1922 to 1923 (34 times, 1st place was Min Heung-sik 36 times),

From 1924 to 1926, Saito was the closest person to the top again (39 times, 2nd place was Lee Jin-ho's 37th time). From 1919 to the end of 1926, Sun Woo-soon had 119 secret talks with Saito, which was once every 22 days. In recognition of these achievements, he was appointed as a councillor of the Central Committee of the Governor-General of Joseon in 1921.

Several people, including Hong Yi-do, the head of the independence group's hostess, are accused of using money and valuables as bait. The governor-general even dismissed the prosecutor as a non-prosecution by replacing him with a Japanese.

After that, he died in 1933 while promoting harmony, coexistence, and opposing independence.

After death
It was selected along with Sun Woo-gap on the list of 708 pro-Japanese groups announced in 2002 and on the list of prospective candidates to be included in the pro-Japanese dictionary of the National Research Institute released in 2008. It is also included in the list of 10 people who are the first people to remain in 100 years of Korea University, announced by the Japanese Residual Settlement Committee, an on-campus organization of Korea University.

In 2007, the list of 195 pro-general national activities announced by the Korean Committee on the Truth and Reconciliation of Pro-General National Act also includes brothers Sun Woo-soon and Sun Woo-gap.

The person who visited Saito, the governor of the Joseon Dynasty, the most visited was Sun Woo-soon, who is notorious for his espionage. He had 119 secret talks with Saito from 1919 to the end of 1926.

Name
According to records, Sun Woo-soon's Chinese characters are handed down as 鮮于金筍. If you read it as it is, it becomes Sunwoo Geumsoon, but it is just called Sunwoo Soon. In fact, there are no "soon" characters added to the gold and pure characters, and they are not used in the same Chinese character culture such as Korea, Japan, and China. Therefore, the letter "gold" was omitted, which gives off the nuance that the surname was changed. Sunwoo Il-sun, a singer from Pyongyang, is known as Choi Chang-sun. In addition to Sun Woo-soon, there are many pro-Japanese fighters from Pyongyang, Pyeongannam Province, such as Sun Woo-gap, Sun Woo-il, and Sun Woo-young, contrasting with independence activists Sun Woo-hyuk and Sun Woo-hoon from Jeongju, North Pyongan Province.
