On November 18, 1974, the Council of Writers for Freedom and Practice (자유실천문인협의회) was established by a number of writers including Ko Un to protect the rights of writers, and started a campaign to free the poet Kim Ji-ha from imprisonment.[1][2] 1987, the group was extended to become Association of Writers for National Literature, and then in 2007 it was renamed the Writers Association of Korea.[3][4]
