Yi Jeong-gyu (Korean: 이정규; Hanja: 李丁奎; 1897 – 1984) known by his pen name Woogwan (우관; 又觀) was a Korean anarchist. He spent much of his youth in China, where anarchists were relatively freer than in occupied Korea, and collaborated with not only Chinese anarchists but also with ones from various countries such as Japan, Taiwan, and Russia. He was one of the pioneers of the Korean anarchist movement in the early 1920s, and one of the most prominent Korean anarchists in China of that period.[1][2][3]
He started his career as an activist for Korean independence and shortly after he became a supporter of anarchism.[1] Yi Jeong-gyu did not recognize anarchism and nationalism as opposing ideologies and pursued his twin goals of reclaiming Korea's independence and establishing a new Korea based on anarchist ideals.[4] Together with Lee Hoe-yeong (이회영; 李會榮), he is regarded as one of the key figures who established the anarchist ideology of the Korean independence movement.[1][4]
