Life
[edit | edit source]Choe Jeong-hui was born in Dancheon, South Hamgyong Province and was educated in Seoul. She worked at a kindergarten in Tokyo and as a journalist in Seoul before starting her writing career in 1931; she worked for the magazine Samch'ŏlli and the newspaper The Chosun Ilbo. She was associated with the Korean Artists' Proletarian Federation, and was jailed in 1934 as a result.[2][1][3]
