Before entering Europe, Ik-tae was active in the United States. At that time, the United States was well-established to mobilize independence activists, who first made their debut in 1935. An Ik-tae shows a change of identity when he was studying in Hungary.

How Chosun musicians became Japanese conductors, I found the truth in his student card, which was released 30 years ago.

Ahn Ik-tae's registration documents are stored in the Hungarian List Conservatory.
In 1938, the first year he wrote a student card, his birth place was Pyongyang and religion was Christian.

Name changed to Ahn Eaktai, Hangul name only in English pronunciation.

Originally released in 1988, it was introduced only as a fodder for studying abroad.

I checked again with a professional researcher.

The following year, in 1939, according to the Second Judicial Law, which was promulgated in Hungary, he had to write down the religion of his parents. His father wrote Buddhism and his mother was Christian.

However, his native place of Pyongyang is written in Japanese, and his name is changed to Ahn Ekitai even though he was before the name of Chang.
One year later, the Japanese color becomes deeper.

Not only yourself but also your parents' religion, they have been converted to Shinto.

Shinto is a Japanese national faith, and Yasukuni Shrine, a controversial war criminal, is one of the Shinto temples.

Since then, Ik-tae has conducted many concerts in Japan-sponsored concerts and changed the title to Japanese style according to the situation.

In response, the An Ik-tae Memorial Foundation said that there was an unavoidable adaptation to music in Europe during the Japanese occupation.

He also said that religion is not a handwriting, and that it is presumed that Japanese forces who tried to use An Ik-tae politically wrote the documents instead.
