summary
As an exclusive theater company of Dongyang Theater, Choi Dok-dog was founded in charge of operation. It is a theater company that emphasizes popularity and commerciality, and a large number of popular writers and actors from Dongyang Theater participated.

Writers Lee Un-bang, Lee Seo-gu, and directors Hong Hae-sung and Park Jin participated, while actors Park Je-haeng, Seo Wol-young, Shim Young, Hwang Chul, Kim Sun-cho, Cha Hong-nyeo, Ji Ji-soon, and Kim Sun-young participated. Among them, Hwang Cheol became the most popular actor in Joseon through the Cheonchunjoa, and Cha Hong-nyeo, who was unknown, also grew up in the Cheonchunjoa under the guidance of Park Jin.

Cheonchunjoa enjoyed a lot of popularity by alternately touring Sinpa dramas such as Lim Sun-kyu's "Fooled by Love and Crying with Money" and Lee Seo-gu's "Mother's Power." It is known that the Cheonchunjoa is the first to implement the salary system for exclusive actors. As a result, the concept of professional actor was first born.

In 1939, when the management rights of the Dongyang Theater were transferred to Choi Dok-dog, a large number of popular actors withdrew and gradually declined. After that, he joined the Joseon Theater Association in 1940, and during the Pacific War, he performed the National Theater, a control play.
