Cho Yeon-hyun (26 July 1920 – 24 November 1981) was a Korean literary critic and poet during the Japanese colonial period. The main building is Haman, and the pen name was Seokjae.

Life
Born in Haman, Gyeongsangnam-do, he graduated from Gyeongseong Baejae High School, first entered as a poet in 1938, first entered as a literary critic in 1941, and then began publishing poetry and criticism while working at the Poetry Literature Donginji. After that, in early June 1945, he ended his poet activities and turned to literary critics only.

Starting with the formation of the Joseon Youth Literary Association with Kim Dong-ri and Seo Jung-ju in 1945, it played an important role in forming the National Federation of Cultural Organizations the following year, and actively engaged in activities such as launching the magazine "Art Village". From around 1947, he participated in the organization of paragraphs as a representative talent of right-wing literary circles and served as a spokesman for the nationalist camp. In 1948, he founded the Korean Literary Association, and in 1954, he was elected as the youngest member of the Korean Academy of Arts at the age of 35.

He worked as a professor at Dongguk University, served as the chairman of the Korean Literature Association, and in 1955 he founded the literary magazine Modern Literature and served as a weekly, which greatly influenced the conservative literary circles in Korea. He received the Cultural Packaging (1963), the Korean Academy of Arts (1966), the Order of the People (1971), and the March 1st Cultural Award (1972). The Jo Yeon-hyeon Literature Award, named after him, has also been established.

Cho Yeon-hyun's criticism is often called "physiological criticism," and contains a nationalistic and bourgeois tendency of the right-wing line that national physiology precedes political ideology. There are many criticisms because of his power-oriented and system-adaptive tendencies, along with behind-the-scenes stories such as the evaluation that he was a former writer while working as a modern literature week and the secret battle with Kim Dong-ri over the post of chairman of the Korean Literature Association.

pro-Japanese controversy
At the end of the Japanese colonial period, when "national literature" to support the Pacific War was prevalent, he left six pro-Japanese reviews, including "Nostalgia to the East" (1942) published in "Dongnyangjigwang." Some are written in Japanese. As a result, it is included in the list of 42 pro-Japanese literature figures released in 2002 and the list of prospective pro-Japanese dictionaries selected by the Institute for National Affairs in 2008. At the time of liberation, he was in his mid-20s, the youngest among those on this list.
