I remember talking to an old Korean guy who cleaned the air traffic control tower.
He was on a work crew during the occupation. He told me a story of how the Japanese needed a new crew boss. They went to one guy and said you are the new boss. He refused so they shot him. The next guy they talked to accepted the position.
Of course being the crew boss carried with it a set of responsibilities. Like beating your fellow koreans.
I’m sure that there were some Koreans that liked Japanese rule. NOT!
at the link this is called “Part V”....if there is more, I can’t find it....I’d like to read it if there is more on this subject....I spent 74-75 in the western corridor and have some “remembrances” along these lines, including but not limited Mme Park and demonstrations at the gate of Camp Casey of which I have photos...
Bullcrap, Han.
It’s not the case of Coreans being “unable to” acknowledge something; it’s the case of Coreans refusing to acknowledge false assumption like yours. JAPan is the only country that tried to destroy another nation’s people and its identity so COMPLETELY to a point that they forbade Coreans to speak their own language.
Were all the young Corean virgin girls - thousands of them - who leaped over a cliff into the ocean to avoid “serving” the japanese MISGUIDED and MISUNDERSTOOD the “opportunities” that were created for them by the invasion??
Ba Bo!!!
