Ham Dae-hoon (21 August 1907 – 21 March 1949) was a playwright and novelist during the Japanese colonial period and the early founding of the Republic of Korea. The pen name was Ilbo.

Life
He was from Songhwa-gun, Hwanghae-do. After graduating from Chung-Ang High School, he studied in Japan and majored in Russian literature at the Tokyo Foreign Language School. From when he was studying abroad, he organized an overseas literature research group with Tokyo international students majoring in foreign literature and began his activities by publishing translations and reviews in literary magazines such as "Overseas Literature" and "Literary Monthly."

In 1931, he organized the Drama Arts Research Association with his colleagues Kim Jin-seop, Lee Ha-yoon, and Jeong In-seop. The founding performance of the drama was "Prosecutor," a satirical play by Nikolai Gogoli, which was translated by Ham Dae-hoon. During this period, he was an unrivaled figure among Russian literature majors and had a great influence on the new drama movement.

Later, he worked with Yoo Chi-jin at the Theater Association, a successor to the Drama Arts Research Association, and also published popular novels focusing on love between men and women. The most famous novel among the novels is "The Straits of Pure Love," which was also produced by Shin Kyung-kyun as a movie of the same name.

Along with Im Hwa, who represents Kaf's trend literature in 1933, the "shape debate" that took place when Baek Cheol attacked Baek Cheol's right-leaning theory of human description is also famous. Im Hwa and Ham Dae-hoon revealed their differences in political opinion on the nature of professional literature through this debate.

At the end of the Japanese colonial period, he established and headed the National Theater Research Institute, a pro-Japanese theater organization, with Jeong In-seop and Yoo Chi-jin, and also worked for the Joseon Literary Association. In 2008, it was included in the theater/film category of the list of prospective candidates for the pro-Japanese biographical dictionary selected by the Institute for Ethnic Affairs. In 1940, a total of 11 pro-Japanese works, including contributing "We and Volunteers" to the Maeil Sinbo, were confirmed and were also included in the list of 42 pro-Japanese literature. It was also included in the list of 705 pro-Japanese anti-national activities released by the Committee on the Truth of Pro-Japanese Anti-National Activities in 2009.

Shortly after the end of the Pacific War, he served as the editor-in-chief of the Hansung Ilbo. Soon after, he jumped into the police and served as the director of the Public Security Bureau and the Public Information Bureau of the Military Government of the U.S. Military Government, and served as the principal of the National Police College. He died of cerebral hemorrhage while serving as the principal of the National Police College.
