The Hyongpyongsa was established in 1923 and lasted until 1935 when it was transformed
into an interest group along with the change of the title, Taedongsa. The main purposes
and aims of the organization were originally to abolish social discriminations against
paekjong and to seek fair treatment for them as members of Korean society.
We can find the close relations between the establishment of the organization and social
and economic situations of paekjong. First of all, it was established for the purpose of
the termination on suppression and social discrimination against them in various ways for centuries.
Even though there was not clear reason why they had been in unfair situations for such long periods,
it is indisputable that they had been regarded as being inferior to ordinary people in
traditional Korean society and that they had been severely suppressed and discriminated
against by ordinary people throughout their life from birth to death, even after.
