Jeong In-seop (March 31, 1905 – September 16, 1983) )Jeong In-seop (March 31, 1905 – September 16, 1983) was a Korean literary critic, translator, and English scholar. He has also been active in the children's movement since the Japanese colonial period. The pen name is Nonsol and the pen name is Seolsong. He wrote Hwajangsanin.

Life
He is from Ulju-gun, South Gyeongsang Province.

Waseda University in 1929 after studying in Japan

I graduated from the Department of English Literature.

In 1922, he participated in the Saekdonghoe as a promoter and started to participate in creative activities and literary movements, starting with publishing fairy tales and simultaneous stories in the magazine Children.

In 1926, the Overseas Literature Research Association was organized with Lee Ha-yoon and Kim Jin-seop to form an overseas literature school. He began his critical career by publishing a review of Edgar Allan Poe and George Bernard Shaw in "Overseas Literature," the organization of the Overseas Literature Research Association.

Until the mid-1930s, he served as a representative critic of overseas literature, especially as a literary school, not only introducing foreign theories, but also dividing the literature with Kaf classist literature and right-wing nationalist literature. The review of "Soham in the Current Literature of Joseon" (1931) clearly reveals the perspective of foreign literatureists, and criticizes that the Korean proletarian literary movement ignores the Korean specificity by simply copying the Japanese proletarian movement.

After returning to Korea, he worked as a professor at Yeonhui College and participated in the foundation of the Drama Research Association with Yoo Chi-jin and others in 1931, showing interest in the new drama movement. In 1932, he founded the Joseon Folklore Society with Song Seok-ha and Son Jin-tae, and also participated in various activities, including the Joseon Language Society and the enactment of the Hangeul Customization Act.

At the end of the Japanese colonial period, he served as an executive secretary and executive secretary of the Joseon Literary Association and published a pro-Japanese review. His active pro-Japanese activities, which began in 1938, culminated in the Pacific War, which began in 1941 when the Japanese invaded the United States, and the fall of Singapore the following year. The types of pro-Japanese activities he showed during this period included "pro-Japanese activities through writing, pro-Japanese activities through lectures and discussions, support for Japanese soldiers and working volunteer activities for shrines, and pro-Japanese group activities." Looking at this again by personality, it can be divided into 'the glorification and propaganda of colonial rule and invasion war, cooperation in invasion war, and extermination of national spirit'. Starting with "Presents of Patriotic Literature" published in the Maeil Sinbo in 1940, a number of pro-Japanese writings remain, including participating in touring lectures to support the Pacific War and recording them.

After Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule, he served as a professor of Daewoo at Seoul National University, Chung-Ang University, and the dean of the Graduate School of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University, and focused on translating Korean poetry into English. He served as the chairman of the Korean headquarters of the International Pen Club and won the 4th Translation Literature Award for "Regional Korean Sight".
