Hansung Sunbo was the first modern Newspaper in Korea. The first edition was written and published by Kakugoro Inoue in 1883. Hansung Sunbo's importance in the history of the press is its emphasis on Korean modernization and ideology which was popular among the readers. Its publication became a turning point in the history of the Korean press. Inoue did not put emphasis on research and made little progress. The Korean people perceived Kakugoro Inoue as an instrument of the MEIJI government and did not acknowledge his great contribution to the Korean press. The Korean harbor became an open port after the Kang Wha Do (treaty)in 1876. As part of the treaty of Kang Wha Do, a third diplomatic mission was sent by Korea to Japan When Ock Kyun Kim and Dongin Lee, members of that mission, lived in Asakusabetsusou, they had a deep relationship with Ukichi Fukuzawa. During their stay in Japan they had the opportunity to view Japan, its political world and civilization system. At that time, Young Ho Park and Ock Kyun Kim established the Bark Mun Guk, and by recomendation of Fukuzawa, were introduced to 6 people beside Inoue. They purchased a printing machine in Nagasaki and started publishing a newspaper・At that time, Inoue was appointed as an associate editor and he was mainly responsible for collecting materials, serving as the redactor, and supervising translation and printing. Finally on October 31, 1883, the first edition was published (Hansung Sunbo). Yun Sik Kim and Inoue also published the Han Sung Junbo and changed the name on January 25, 1886. The Han Sung Sunbo was the first newspaper written in the Korean language in the history of the press, and which also used the Korean literary style. Inoue was a very famous journalist and he was a pioneer in the history of Korean speech (press). Although Han Sung Sunbo was published 104 years ago, nobody knows much about him in Korea and he has not been a subject of research. As he made an important contribution, we have to reassess his place in the history of the Korean press.
