The newspaper was seen as among the three top Japanese-language newspapers in Korea during the Japanese colonial period, along with Keijō Nippō and Fuzan Nippō.
Digital copies of most issues are now available across several different services in South Korea and Japan. The Korean Newspaper Archive has copies of the newspaper from January 1924 to February 1942, and the National Institute of Korean History has copies between December 1908 to March 1921. The Japanese National Diet Library also holds copies of the paper.
