Due to the enormous sacrifice of 3.1 Movement, Joseonilbo and Dongailbo, the major civilian newspapers, can be established. Mass media as public sphere is vitalized from Korean Empire era but it can not embrace righteous army and conservative Confucian belong to Reject to Wickedness(斥邪). In 1920s, because of Korean mass media's arrested development during military rule of Government General Korea in 1910s, fundamental issues about Confucian such as Fidelity to Great Ming Dynasty and Small-Sinocentrism are not discussed sufficiently. Articles in two newspapers, Thrashing upon the Head of Fake Ming People, the Improvement of Confucianism, Notices for Korean Confucian and Notification to Our Peninsular Confucian, criticizing Korean Confucian Society, demonstrate the enlargement of public sphere in mass media enough to embark directly to fundamental Confucian matters in Korean society with writing styles closer to nowaday Hangeul than those of Korean Empire era. They are historical examples presenting the transition of media environments and styles in mass media. Also, interestingly enough, articles in Dongailbo tend to express nationalism while, those of Joseonilbo usually highlight the adaptation toward capitalism under colony. Especially, the author of Thrashing upon the Head of Fake Ming People, including the direct legacy from Sin Chaho, Kwon Deok-Gyu, disciple of Ju Sigyeong, mentor to Choi Namseon and Gwangmunhoi, achieves progressive writing style with enhancing Hangeul notation and rhetorics.
