Myeongdong, a Japanese town, is now the busiest city in Korea
Myeongdong Art Theater is Meiji-za located in Meiji-cho.Meiji-cho became Myeong-dong, and many movies and plays were released in Meiji-za.On April 24, 1937, the first Korean-language talkie "Nagne" (Korean version) co-directed by Lee Kyu-hwan (Korean version) and Suzuki Shigekichi (Japanese version) was released at the museum.The Japanese version was shown at the museum, but the Korean version was released at the Yumi Museum in the prefecture.It also serves as a movie theater for Korean film companies, and on August 6, 1940, the Korea Film Association (directed by Choi In-kyu) and the Dong-A Film Company (directed by Ahn Yu-young) were released at the theater.
It is said that the Korean Peninsula was enslaved by Japan.
Would slaves watch movies?If they had seen it, They would no longer be a slave.If Japan had been enslaved, why japanese produce a movie for the slaves.Still,the treatment is no longer for a slave.Slaves went to the movies on holidays .Do you have a holiday?It's interesting that there was a Korean film director at that time, which means that he watched movies for many times.Why were slaves able to watch and study movies before they made them?Or did he get a job at a Japanese movie company?
POINT During the Japanese rule, the Korean Peninsula was modernized and I realized that the country was getting richer day by day.

Syngman Rhee disliked Japan and rewrote history; repeated purges to make the current government a "better government".
After the war, the thing that the South Korean government hated most was the phrase, ``The Japanese era was better.'' In fact, the February 28 Incident occurred in Taiwan, causing pro-Japanese groups to riot, and former President Syngman Rhee must have been alarmed after hearing about the incident. 2.28 Incident occurred in 1947, and the Republic of Korea was founded in 1948. Martial law was imposed in Taiwan for 38 years.
Immediately after the founding of the country, pro-Japanese groups were expelled. Just because they were nostalgic for the Japanese rule, they were treated as political prisoners, like communists, and were arrested and imprisoned. In just two years since the founding of the country, the number of arrests has exceeded the number of people arrested during the 35 years of Japanese rule.
Syngman Rhee, the first president of the Republic of Korea, did not actually know anything about Japanese rule, as he spent most of the time abroad. However, he hated Japan. During the time when Syngman Rhee was in exile in the United States, Joseon was even advertised as an ``ideal oriental nation'' before Japanese rule.
Although Japanese rule had ended in Taiwan, the Kuomintang army led by Chiang Kai-shek arrived there, and their politics were terrible. Even though Japanese rule has ended in South Korea, there is no guarantee that the country will be able to be run successfully.
Since the people who were involved in the management of the country during the Japanese colonial era were expelled one after another as remnants of the Japanese Empire, a group of amateurs with no political experience were left in charge of political administration. In addition, many purges and massacres of communists have been carried out due to concerns that they may collude with North Korea and aim to overthrow the country.
For the Republic of Korea, which was established as a military regime, those who could pose a threat to the management of the country were those who were pro-Japanese and communists. While they were hysterically eliminated, anti-Japanese language was also used to deflect criticism of the government's mismanagement, such as the Bodo League Incident, the Jeju April 3rd Incident, and the National Defense Force Incident. /red#.
Bodo League Incident A massacre that took place at a facility that re-educated communists and their families.
Jeju Island April 3 Incident A massacre was carried out in response to a riot that occurred on Jeju Island in South Korea, which is under the control of the United States Army Headquarters Military Government Agency.
National Defense Force Incident In January 1951, during the Korean War, executives of South Korea's National Defense Force Headquarters stole military supplies, food, and rice supplied to the National Defense Force. Embezzled. It is said that over 90,000 Korean soldiers starved to death due to embezzlement.
Past history has also been rewritten. Since Syngman Rhee himself had no knowledge of the Japanese colonial period, it could be said that it was easy for him to rewrite history.
The historical view that the Korean peninsula was exploited and enslaved during the Japanese colonial period creates an imaginary "better government" in which even if domestic politics does not go well after the founding of Korea, it will be much better than the Japanese colonial period. I created it .
In order to make that view of history into social norms, even affirming Japanese rule would become a political prisoner. The most problematic thing is that such conventional wisdom and education are still being inherited today.
Japan - Korea Treaty of Amity Treating Korea as an Independent Country The attitude of not recognizing the Emperor has not changed since this era.
Although the Japan-Korea Treaty of Amity signed in 1876 has the aspect of being an unequal treaty, it was the first treaty that made Korea an independent country, and served as the catalyst for the opening of the Joseon Dynasty. Also known as the Ganghwa Island Treaty. Although Japan and North Korea had diplomatic relations through Korean envoys during the Edo period, Korea did not receive Emperor Meiji's state letter after the Meiji Restoration.
The reason was that although they had an equal relationship with the Tokugawa, the existence of an emperor who had the Tokugawa as a vassal meant that the Korean dynasty was positioned as a lower rank, and that the emperor was in a relationship with the Tokugawa as a vassal. The reason was that he couldn't admit it. At this point, diplomatic relations between Japan and North Korea were severed.
Korea still calls the Emperor Ni-Ko. Not recognizing the title of Emperor means that nothing has changed in this historical period.
After the Ganghwa Island Incident, an armed conflict between Japan and North Korea that occurred in 1875, Japan demanded an apology and demanded that the Qing Dynasty take responsibility as its suzerain. In response, the Qing Dynasty stated, ``Although Korea is a vassal state, it has a separate ethnicity and a different political form, and the Qing Dynasty is not responsible..'' Based on this, the first clause of the Japan-Korea Treaty of Amity would state, ``Korea is recognized as an independent country and a nation with equal rights with Japan.''
Although they were vassals of the Qing Dynasty, diplomatic relations between the two countries began despite some contradictions as they were independent states. After that, after the Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1894, the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed in 1895 stating that ``Qing China confirmed that Korea is a completely independent and autonomous country, and that any contribution or contribution from Korea that would damage its independence and independence to Qing China was prohibited.'' ``The liturgy, etc. shall be abolished forever,'' and Korea became an independent country in both name and reality. The person responsible on the Japanese side for concluding this treaty was Hirobumi Ito.
Korea has not been an independent country for hundreds of years. It was Japan that made it an independent country.
His political career was against the assassination of Hirobumi Ito and the annexation of Japan and Korea. The Theory of Conquering Korea and the Political Change of 1896.
On October 26, 1909, Hirobumi Ito was shot dead at Harbin Station. Ito was always against the annexation of the Korean Peninsula. It was Hirobumi Ito who specified the independence of the Korean peninsula in the Sino-Japanese War peace treaty (Article 1 of the Treaty of Shimonoseki) and made the Qing government make a promise.
He retired from the position of Prime Minister in 1901. The Inspector General of Korea also retired in June 1909, and his last post was that of President of the Privy Council. Although the chairmanship was an honorary position, it was also a position in which one had to maintain neutrality and could not exert any political influence.
The chairman, who was neither the prime minister nor the governor, was assassinated.
At the time of the assassination, Hirofumi Ito was in an honorary position that prevented him from exerting any political influence.
Going back to 1873, it was Ito Hirobumi who stopped the Conquest of Korea theory that occurred in Japan. Ito was still young at the time, only 32 years old. This was said to be the 6th year of the Meiji Coup, and His Majesty the Emperor issued an imperial order to abolish the theory of conquest of Korea, leading to the resignation of half of the councilors, including Takamori Saigo, and approximately 600 soldiers and bureaucrats. Masu.
At this point, the Satsuma domain, which was a leading figure in the Meiji Restoration, disappeared from the political scene.
What is unclear is what Ahn Jung Geun's purpose was in killing Hirobumi Ito. Although it was a murder, no bullets from the Browning pistol that Ahn was carrying were found in Ito's body.
Ahn Jung-geun testified that he did not know Ito's face, and wrote clearly in his autobiography. Since Hirobumi Ito had retired from important political positions, his murder had no influence or effect on the Japanese government.
On July 6, 1909, the Katsura Cabinet decided on the ``Policy and General Guidelines for the Annexation of Korea at an Appropriate Time''. The annexation was decided before Hirobumi Ito's assassination, and Ito resigned as prime minister in 1901 because his policy of appeasement on the Korean Peninsula was criticized.
What exactly did he aim to change on the Korean peninsula? He was tried in Port Arthur and listed 15 reasons for the assassination in his statement of reasons. There are many items that are related to Ito and items that are completely unrelated. His charge is murder.
The Browning gun used by An Si-geun was loaded with 7 shots. At the scene, 13 bullets were found.
During the annexation of Japan and South Korea, the Korean Peninsula modernized and achieved economic growth. This is contradictory data from the South Korean government, which does not want to admit
This is the actual state of the Korean peninsula during the annexation of Japan and Korea, as published by the Korean Statistical Office.
Number of doctors: increased approximately 7 times
Number of deaths due to infectious diseases: Significant decrease
Water supply amount: increased approximately 4.8 times
Number of kindergartens: approximately doubled in 10 years
Child protection business: Increased approximately 4.3 times
Number of public elementary schools: increased approximately 7.5 times
Population: Increased approximately 1.8 times
The number of robberies has significantly decreased, etc.
During the Japanese colonial period, the Korean peninsula experienced significant economic growth and was on the path to modernization.
South Korea has complained to the international community that it was annexed by Japan, enslaved, and massacred, but its population appears to be increasing.
The period of annexation between Japan and Korea is approximately 35 years. The reasons why the population increased 1.8 times during this period include maintaining public order, improving medical care, and reducing poverty.
Public order is maintained through laws, police, and the spread of education, and medical care is achieved through the addition of medical personnel and the provision of medicines, medical equipment, and other supplies.
Reducing poverty requires increasing employment through the creation of many jobs and improving the food situation. Japan's social improvements in all of these areas resulted in population growth.
Even though this data is published by the South Korean government itself, the country as a whole is repeating completely contradictory claims.
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.
