Cho Man-sik (Korean: 조만식; 1 February 1883 – 18 October 1950), also known by his art name Godang (고당), was a Korean independence activist. He became involved in the power struggle that enveloped North Korea in the months following the Japanese surrender after World War II. Originally, Cho was supported by the Soviet Union for the eventual rule of North Korea. However, due to his opposition to trusteeship, Cho lost Soviet support and was forced from power by the Soviet-backed and pro Soviet communists in the north (a predecessor of the Workers' Party of Korea).Placed under house arrest in January 1946, he later disappeared into the North Korean prison system, where confirmed reports of him end.
