I tried to set “Journal Article”, but I can not any issue number in the citation.

APA style has Volume(issue) style, like "32(1), however, Currently I can not see any issue number even I have correct issue number in Bibliography database.

Wrong:
Yoo, T., Lee, H., Ko, Y., Choe, H., Kim, M., Myung, M., … Lee, E. (2019). The content analysis of the Korean Journal of Industrial and Organizational psychology from 1988 to 2018 and future suggestions. Korean Journal of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, 32, 297–362. https://doi.org/10.24230/kjiop.v32i3.297-362

Correct:
Yoo, T., Lee, H., Ko, Y., Choe, H., Kim, M., Myung, M., … Lee, E. (2019).

Hey @Seongho, in my tests, if there is both an issue and a volume and the entry is marked as a “Journal Article”, the output does include the “VOLUME(ISSUE)”. But maybe the issue number isn’t imported from your original data? Did you import this entry form bibtex? If so, could you paste the bibtex source here?

@Seongho The issue is here that you use the field “number” instead of “issue”. You can fix the output by clicking on the item in the bibliography and put “3” in the “issue” field.

However, there may also be a difference in meaning between “issue” and “number” in the formats involved in this. We deal with biblatex and CSL and both formats have both a “number” and an “issue” field. However, I wonder if their understanding of the fields differs slightly. The biblatex manual says this about the difference [1]:

2.3.11 Journal Numbers and Issues
The words ‘number’ and ‘issue’ are often used synonymously by journals to refer
to the subdvision of a volume. The fact that biblatex’s data model has fields
of both names can sometimes lead to confusion about which field should be used.
First and foremost the word that the journal uses for the subdivsion of a volume
should be of minor importance, what matters is the role in the data model. As a rule
of thumb number is the right field in most circumstances. In the standard styles
number modifies volume, whereas issue modifies the date (year) of the entry.
Numeric identifiers and short designators that are not necessarily (entirely) numeric
such as ‘A’, ‘S1’, ‘C2’, ‘Suppl. 3’, ‘4es’ would go into the number field, because
they usually modify the volume. The output of—especially longer—non-numeric
input for number should be checked since it could potentially look odd with some
styles. The field issue can be used for designations such as ‘Spring’, ‘Winter’ or
‘Michaelmas term’ if that is commonly used to refer to the journal.

In CSL there is no similar description like this but it does specify that both “issue” and “number” are numbers [2]. I see this has been discussed previously [3] and it was then recommended that “number” (bibtex) maps to “issue” (csl), so I’ll make sure that also happenjs in the next patch version of Fidus Writer.
