The paper had a predecessor under a different founder that went by Fuzan Shōkyō (釜山商況, 부산상황; Pusan Sanghwang). It was founded in Busan on December 5, 1892. It changed its name to Tokua Bōeki Shinbun (東亞貿易新聞, 동아무역신문; Tonga Muyŏk Sinmun) at some point afterwards.
It consistently rivaled the Fuzan Nippō paper, also based in Busan, and began to underperform it. After several fires and a 1940 order by the Japanese colonial government for there to be one paper per province, it was absorbed into the Fuzan Nippō. The Fuzan Nippō was then seized by the United States after the 1945 liberation of Korea, and was converted into the modern South Korean Busan Ilbo.
