The original newspaper of the Chosun JoongAng Ilbo, which erased the Japanese flag in the winning picture of Son Ki-jung (1912-2002), the winner of the 1936 Berlin Olympics marathon, has appeared on the auction market for the first time, drawing extraordinary attention.

The Chosun Joongang Daily, which was recently exhibited at the "Trace of Life Auction" of Kobe, Korea's largest auction house in the field of ancient calligraphy, has three pieces on the 10th, 13th, and 14th (the evening of the 13th) of August 1936. All three pieces contain articles and photos on Son Ki-jung's marathon victory.

On the 10th of August (Monday, Command No. 3033), a preview article with expectations for Son Ki-jung and Nam Seung-ryong was published under the title of "The Great Marathon, Son-Namyang-gun Victory? Bando-san, Waiting for a Great Recovery."
On the day after Son Ki-jung's victory (at 1:30 a.m. on August 12), the day after the victory (at 1:30 a.m. on August 12), he devoted a whole page of newspapers to the day (Thursday, Command No. 3036), and made Son's victory a special feature with 27 photos under the big title of "Olympic Defeat Son 孫 禎畫報 霸" and the subtitle of "Three Thousand Miles of Inspiration for Information Coming Up in the Air, Until Son of the King of Marason Gets the World's 榮冠."

On August 14 (the evening edition of the 13th, Order No. 3037), a picture of the problem (the scene of the award ceremony in which Son Ki-jung wore a laurel crown) was finally closed by the Chosun JoongAng Ilbo. The photo shows Son Ki-jung, who won the gold medal, Harper (Britain), and Nam Seung-ryong, who won the gold medal, standing side by side on the podium, and the Japanese flag, which should be on the chest of Son Ki-jung's uniform, is erased (?).

The four-tiered photo on the bottom right side of the eight-tiered wall is titled "A laurel 桂冠 on the head," "樫苗 tree (孫 選手 tree) on the hand," and "Our Son (表彰), who received the 最 of the 榮譽's highest honor," and "右 (二等)" are described as "South 昇 Dragon, and Harper, the second-class player on the 左." In the photo, Sohn Kee-chung, who is wearing a laurel crown, stands on the podium with his head slightly lowered, and his uniform chest is not visible. His expression is not good enough to read.
The case of removing the Japanese flag engraved on the picture of Son Ki-jung, the winner of the Berlin Olympic Marathon, has been reported to have been the first attempt by the Chosun Joongang Daily, which was submitted this time, but in reality, the photo of the Dong-A Ilbo erasing the Japanese flag was also confirmed in some evening newspapers on August 13, the same day. (See Professor Chae Baek of Pusan National University's The Truth of the Missing Japanese Flag.)

Regarding the August 13 photo of the Chosun JoongAng Ilbo and the Dong-A Ilbo, which were published shortly after Son Ki-jung's victory, the Japanese Government-General of Korea did not pick a fight or nitpick. However, it suddenly changed after a huge incident in which the Japanese flag, which was attached to the photo of Son Ki-jung cutting off the tape and scoring in the Dong-A Ilbo on August 25, was "dead the Japanese flag" (expression of reporter Lee Gil-yong), a pioneer in sports journalism. Eventually, the Dong-A Ilbo was suspended from arms, and the Chosun JoongAng Ilbo had a firestorm belatedly and spread to the point where it had no choice but to take a voluntary break.
In a related development, Chung Jin-suk, a senior journalist and honorary professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, said, "The photo of the Chosun Joongang Ilbo was not a problem with censorship when it was published because the front was blurred when it was published again in a Japanese newspaper. "After that, the Dong-A Ilbo clearly deleted the clean photo, so the Chosun Joongang Ilbo was also caught retroactively," he said. "The Chosun Joongang Ilbo was surprised and voluntarily wrote to the Chosun Government-General to take a two-week vacation, but after being rejected, he expressed his intention to take a leave of absence on Sept. 4 and made an accident that he would take a leave of absence until the authorities took action, and began to take a leave of absence from the 5th."

The Chosun JoongAng Ilbo, which was one of the three major newspapers along with the Dong-A Ilbo and the Chosun Ilbo in the early and mid-1930s during the Japanese colonial period, is rooted by the Chosun Joongang Ilbo, which was founded in 1924. Later, it passed through the JoongAng Ilbo and the JoongAng Ilbo, and changed its title to the Chosun JoongAng Ilbo when Yeo Woon-hyung entered the company in 1933. The newspaper eventually went on the path of closure due to the "Dong-A Ilbo" incident, which suffered a great hardship due to the "Japanese-long-term extinction incident," and financial difficulties overlapped.

The three pieces of the Chosun JoongAng Ilbo submitted to Kobe this time were reportedly among the data collected by Oh Han-geun (1908-1974), who spent his life as the "only newspaper collector in Korea." 온라인카지노

Kobe set a price of 5 million won for a three-point poet in the Chosun Joongang Ilbo. The size of the newspaper is 40x55cm, the same as the current newspaper, and although the years have passed, the condition is relatively clean. The "Traces of Life in Kobe" auction will be held on May 14.
