This study is to review Japanese Proletarian Literature magazine Susume which published the most Koreans' writings, and considered the literature of Korean immigrants who were in Japan or Manchuria during the colonial period. Japanese Proletarian Literature magazines were the good media to Koreans deprived of freedom of speech and censored by the Japanese Bureau during the colonial period. At the same time, the magazines were the media to bridge the Pro󰠏movement between empire and colony. The publisher Susume had many branches in Japan, colonial Korea, and Manchuria. So, the Koreans who were pressed to be driven out of homeland Korea submitted writings to this magazine, making solidarity with Japanese Pro󰠏movement activists. The Koreans and Japanese Proletarian fighted together against bourgeois class. However, Korean Proletarian had one more fighting target, Japanese Imperialism. Originally, Proletarian Movement rejects ethnic emotions, but the Koreans under the colonial condition had to fight against colonial power of empire in addition to bourgeois class. So, their aims were, of course, toward different purpose from Japanese Proletarian. Nevertheless, the narratives which described the lives of Koreans who were driven out of Korea into Japan or Manchuria made issues of contemporary Colonial Korean immigrants' Japanese Literature.
