The history of law and society studies in Korea is rather short. Although there were some precursors like Chong Yag-yong (1762–1836), who conducted pioneering legal studies on the basis of empirical methodology, the sociological perspective he pioneered unfortunately failed to flourish. As the momentum of spontaneous modernization, including the law in the late Yi dynasty (1392–1910), was frustrated by Japanese colonial rule, it was only after the liberation of the nation in 1945 that jurisprudence emerged as a subject of academic interest.
