Yoon Jong-hwa (born March 1, 1908 ~ ?) is a police officer and official during the Japanese occupation. It was also known as Yoon Jang-seop.

Life
Born in Chungcheongnam-do, he graduated from the law department Kyushu Imperial University in 1934. In 1933, while attending Kyushu Imperial University, he passed the administrative and written examination of the Higher Civil Service Examination and entered the government office.

He served as county governors in Changnyeong-gun and Gimhae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, and in 1940, he was appointed as the head of the security department of the Hamgyeongnam Police Department and engaged in suppressing the anti-Japanese movement. As of 1940, it was ranked seventh.

After serving as the head of the Jongno Police Station, he became the head of the police department in Hwanghae-do in 1944, at the end of the Japanese colonial period. Yoon Jong-hwa was the only Korean among the police chiefs at the time, and he was the highest position among the Korean police. At this time, he was also young in his mid-30s.

Shortly after the end of the Pacific War, a small military government was carried out in the YHwanghae-do area, and he was arrested by Soviet forces of the Soviet Union. After being sent to the Soviet Union, he disappeared and no one knows..

It was selected in the Joseon Governor-General's Office and the Police category among the 708 pro-Japanese groups announced in 2002, and was also included in the bureaucracy and police category among the list of prospective Japanese life dictionaries released in 2008.

Yoon Seok-soon, his second son, was nominated for the Democratic Party in Yeongdo, Busan during the Chun Doo-hwan administration, but after his election, he became the Antarctic expedition leader and applied for the Grand National Party nomination in his hometown, but was disappointed because he was a descendant of pro-Japanese group

Although not a direct descendant, Yoon Jong-hwa's elder brother's grandson is now elected to the National Assembly in Incheon, and Yoon Sang-hyun, the core of the pro-Park faction, former Chun Doo-hwan's son-in-law and current Purmil son-in-law. Perhaps the biggest reason why Yoon Seok-soon won the Democratic Party's nomination is that he had a in-laws relationship with Chun Doo-hwan.
