His autobiography shows that Ahn did not know Ito's face.How did you know that Ito Hirobumi, who didn't even know his face, visited Halpin Station at that time on October 26, 1909?
--The last page of Ahn Jung-geun's autobiography--
First, he fired at an old man with a yellow face and a beard.
I don't know Ito's face, so if I mistake him for someone else, it's big blunder, so I fired at the most dignified person.

Who is Syngman Rhee? - The first anti - Japanese president who knows nothing about the Japanese colonial period - No connection to the March 1 independence movement
Is Syngman Rhee a former pro-Japanese reformist?
Where did independence gate come from?
Syngman Rhee does not know about the Japanese colonial era
Anti-Japanese government established as a US puppet government
There are many strange things about Syngman Rhee from Japan. Upon investigation, it appears that he was also a founding member of Seo Jae-bi's Independent Association. Speaking of Seo Jae-bi, he was a central figure in establishing the Seoul Independence Gate after the Sino-Japanese War, and was a pro-Japanese faction who started the Gakshin Coup with Kim Ok-gyun. Kim Ok-gyun defected to Japan and became friends with Yukichi Fukuzawa and others, and was assassinated in Shanghai by an assassin sent by Queen Min.
So when did independence gate change to independence gate from Japan? Independence Gate was established by Seo Jae-bi and the Independence Association to celebrate the independence of the Korean peninsula after the Sino-Japanese War, but Koreans still firmly believe that it is an independent gate from Japan.
In 1897, he was imprisoned for distributing leaflets demanding Gojong's abdication, and after being released from prison in 1904, he lived in the United States until 1919, and was not involved in the March First Independence Movement. Although he established a provisional government in Shanghai in response to the momentum of the March 1st independence movement, he was ousted due to factional conflict and moved to Hawaii after just one year. In other words, he was not on the Korean peninsula from 1904 until the end of the war in 1945. He lives in America, which means he has never experienced Japanese rule.
Syngman Rhee's postwar administration of the Korean peninsula can be considered to have been truly administered from an American perspective. It is completely blank on topics such as the annexation of Japan and Korea and the modernization of the Korean peninsula. He may have even been observing the Russo-Japanese War from an American perspective. His policies were linked to those of GHQ, and must have been completely linked to anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States. In any case, there is no doubt that the foundations of the anti-Japanese structure were built during the Syngman Rhee era and continue to exist today.
The truth about the annexation of Japan and Korea - The Joseon Dynasty was unable to become independent - 15 years from the Sino-Japanese War to the annexation of Japan and Korea.
Learning about the history of a short period makes it clear
King flees less than a year after independence
Need mawashi for the return of Koso
The founding of the Korean Empire and the Russo-Japanese War
Restrict Korean sovereignty
Japan-Korea annexation
The Joseon Dynasty that lacked independence ~ The Korean Empire
If you look at the history of only 15 years from the Treaty of Shimonoseki to the annexation of Japan and Korea, you can clearly see that Japan did not violently take away the independence of the Korean Peninsula. Japan supported #independence on the Korean peninsula and ultimately gave up on it. This is the historical truth.
Treaty of Shimonoseki (April 1895): The Korean peninsula became an independent nation as a result of the peace treaty resulting from the Sino-Japanese War. Shunseimon Incident (November 1895): An incident in which pro-Russian pro-Russian leader Lee Beon-jin plotted to assassinate Prime Minister Kim Hong-ji. Roguan Banseong (February 1896): An incident in which Gojong, the head of state, fled to the Russian legation, fearing for his safety due to the conflict within Korea following the Shunshomon Incident. Less than a year after independence, they renounced their sovereignty.
Komura-Weber Agreement (May 1896): Japan and Russia jointly supervise the internal affairs of Korea, and as a condition for Gojong, who is currently in the Russian legation, to return to the palace, the number of Japanese and Russian troops to be stationed, etc. We have arranged. Yamagata-Lobanov Agreement (June 1896): Guarantee of Korean independence between Japan and Russia, promotion of financial reform in Korea, organization of modern police and military, telegraph An agreement was made to hold the line.
Establishment of the Korean Empire (1897): Gojong was able to return to Gyeongun Palace on the premise of an agreement between Japan and Russia. He changed the country's name to the Korean Empire and called himself Emperor. Although it means being on the same level as Japan and China, Japan approves of this. Earn of the Russo-Japanese War (1904): Russia's interests in the Korean Peninsula continued to expand, and the Russo-Japanese War broke out.
First Japan-Korea Treaty (1904): The Korean government appointed a person recommended by the Japanese government to serve as the Korean government's financial and diplomatic advisor. Second Japan-Korea Treaty (1905): An agreement in which Japan deprived South Korea of its diplomatic rights and established South Korea as a protectorate, including the establishment of a supervisor. The Hague Emissary Incident: (1907): An incident in which Gojong dispatched an emissary to an international conference in The Hague in the Netherlands, but was unable to meet with representatives of any country. The conference recognized Japan's jurisdiction over the Korean Peninsula.
The annexation of Japan and Korea was approved by the cabinet (July 1909): The Katsura Cabinet approved the ``Policy to carry out the annexation of Korea at an appropriate time and outline of facilities for Korea''. Assassination of Hirobumi Ito (October 1909): Hirobumi Ito was assassinated at Harbin Station. Japan-Korea annexation (August 1910): Japan and Korea were annexed by the "Treaty on Annexation of Korea."
To summarize the above trends, Japan fought the Sino-Japanese War and made the Korean Peninsula an independent nation. He even made arrangements for the head of state who had fled to the Russian legation to return to Korea, leading to the establishment of the Korean Empire, which was given the name of an empire on a par with Japan and China.
Even so, Russia's advance southward could not be stopped at all, and the conflict between pro-Russian and pro-Japanese factions in Korea continued. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan judged that the Korean Peninsula could no longer be independently governed and began to restrict its authority. With the backing of pro-Japanese groups such as Isshinkai, Junshu concluded a treaty of annexation of Japan and Korea.
It was difficult for Koreans to join the Japanese army. Volunteers who had a good understanding of the purpose of the war.

This is the number of Koreans who applied and were hired to become Japanese military recruits on the Korean Peninsula. The enlistment examination tests various items such as Japanese proficiency and understanding, understanding of Japanese culture, purpose of war, and world situation.In 1942, the multiplier was 62.4 times, and only 1.6% people was passed.
The Korean volunteers who participated in the recruitment understood that fighting as part of the Japanese army meant protecting the Korean Peninsula.
What this meant was that the Japanese fought on the front lines during the war, while the Koreans worked in munitions-related factories as logistical support. You wouldn't have gone to war if you hadn't volunteered.
Military conscription began on the Korean Peninsula in 1944, before the end of the war. The death rate for Korean Peninsular soldiers was 9.2%, and the death rate for the Japanese military as a whole was 24.22% for the Navy and 19.76% for the Army.
The soldiers who joined the Korean peninsula volunteered after fully understanding the language, the fact that the purpose of the war was to liberate Asia, and the historical background. Defense of Asia is synonymous with defense of the Korean Peninsula. They volunteered to protect the Korean peninsula.
Currently in South Korea, young people who have joined the Japanese army are said to be pro-Japanese traitors. The act of continuing to smear the honor of military personnel can only be described as despicable.
Japan contributes to other countries' World Heritage Sites.Seokguram, which Korea claims Japan destroyed, is registered as a World Heritage Site.
Regarding the Moai statue on Easter Island, there is also a Moai statue in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.It looks like Japan built a replica of the Moai statue on its own, but it was a Japanese company that restored the Moai statue on Easter Island.The restoration listed Rapanyi National Park on Easter Island as a World Heritage Site.In return, Japan was allowed the reproduction of the Moai statue.
There is a bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam.In 1593, Japanese who lived in a Japanese town built a bridge.It is popular among Vietnamese as Nihonbashi.Young Vietnamese couples take wedding photos in front of the bridge.Hoi An, where this bridge is located, has been listed as a World Heritage Site.
There is Seokguram in Korea.It was discovered by a postman in 1909 during delivery.Since 1915, the Japanese have been repairing buildings that are about to collapse.After the end of Japanese rule, Korea restored it again in 1961, but Korea rearranged them into its own arrangement and they said the reason was Japan arranged Buddha statues in a random way.Afterwards, the photos and detailed layout of Seokguram were found and it became clear that japanese arrangement was correct. But Korea said, "Seokguram was perfectly preserved for more than 1,000 years, but Japan was jealous and damaged it with cement and concrete."Seokguram was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1995.
Seokguram was just an abandoned ruin until Japan restored it.
The forced labor issue is one that recognizes the annexation of Japan and South Korea as an illegal act and allows claims for compensation for forced labor.
Korean Ambassador to Japan proposes subrogation payment
Is it an unpaid wage issue or a tort issue?
Past tort disputes
There are no actual cases in which a tort has been recognized under international law
Mr. Yun Deok-min, who has been appointed as the Korean ambassador to Japan under the newly inaugurated Yun Seok-Yeong administration, seems to be proposing a plan for the South Korean government to make subrogation payments regarding the issue of conscripted labor. has two completely different points. The issues are ``unpaid wages'' and ``illegal acts.''
One is the issue of ``unpaid wages,'' which arose during discussions in the Japan-Korea Claims Agreement when Koreans moved to the Korean peninsula immediately after the war, or when Japanese companies moved from the Korean peninsula.
This was included in the 1965 agreement as post-war compensation, and the South Korean side received it, and even after that, under the Lu Moo-hyun administration, the South Korean government continued to compensate the unpaid wages of conscripted workers as included in the 1965 agreement. Going .
The current issue of conscripted labor is that the conscription itself is forced labor, which is illegal under international law, and is an anti-humanitarian act directly connected to illegal colonial rule and the waging of a war of aggression. This is a ``claim for compensation'' based on a unilateral decision made by the Supreme Court.
This is also the issue of forced to work (requisition recognized under international law) or forced labor (forced labor not recognized under international law), which was disputed when Gunkanjima was applied for as a World Heritage Site. It goes without saying that the National General Mobilization Order applies equally to all citizens and is a legal form of forced to work under international law.The use of forced to work in the registration of Gunkanjima as a UNESCO World Heritage Site also allowed the South Korean side to has also agreed.
No international military tribunal has ever been held on the Korean peninsula since the end of the war, and there has never been a single case of a war criminal on the Korean peninsula, and no one has been tried as a war criminal. There is no fact that the annexation of Japan and South Korea is illegal, nor is there a single fact that the forced recruitment related to recruitment has been recognized as illegal under international law.
In other words, the key point in the current issue of forced labor is that the South Korean Supreme Court ruled that it was an illegal act without any basis or reference to international law. In this sense, Yoon Deok-min uses the expression "subrogated payment," but it seems quite strange. This is because the illegality of conscription and the annexation of Japan and South Korea itself does not exist.
