There are claims that Koreans were forcibly conscripted into the Japanese Imperial Army for years, but Korean men wanted to join the army even to the point of writing petitions sealed in their blood. The number of volunteers was always higher than the capacity.
Allied POW interrogation reports show that Japanese soldiers rarely discriminated against Koreans and that they studied at the same military school and some of them became officers. One of my grandfather's superiors in North China was a Korean.
It is often said that Koreans were forced to change their names to Japanese names during the Japanese occupation, but this is not true.
They were allowed to use Japanese names.
Not only civilians but also some Koreans who joined the Japanese army kept their Korean names.
Comfort women existed after WW2 as well.
To recruit prostitutes for the Korean and UN forces, the Korean government continued to use the name "慰安婦" which Japan had named during wartime.
The following articles are all about comfort women for the US and UN armed forces.
According to the 1952 "Special Comfort Women Performance Statistics" in the Korean Army's personnel files, 89 “comfort women“ belonging to 4 platoons in Seoul and Gangneung provided sexual services to 204,580 servicemen per year.
American military comfort women were also known as 洋公主(Western princesses).
Here are some articles from the 1950s and 1960s on the subject of the "Western Princesses".
You hate Japanese so much that you dare to ignore the important things.
The US military used Japanese and Korean comfort women after WW2.
South Korea and North Korea have been trafficking women and forcing them into prostitution even in recent years.
After WW2, many Japanese women were raped by Allied troops, so the Japanese government established comfort stations for Allied troops in an attempt to reduce the number of victims.
Children born during the occupation were called GI babies.
During the occupation, the GHQ censored the Japanese press, so this is not widely known.
Now, the relationship between the U.S. military and the Japanese people in Japan today is good, and we are sincerely grateful for the relief efforts following the Great east Japan Earthquake.
