This study points out the problems in the discussion on overcoming colonial scholarship since Yi Gi-baek's *Guksa Sinron*, which was the first "postcolonial declaration" in Korean historiography, and seeks a new research direction through the concept of colonial historiography. Colonial historiography was formed by the combination of colonial ideology and modern historiographical epistemology and methodology, and was institutionalized and spread under the colonial rule of Japanese imperialism.
