  2. One thing Koreans will never admit is that the Japanese colonial period laid the foundations of a modern society. The Japanese introduced mass education and dismantled the feudal order of old Chosun. The Korean population doubled during the colonial period. By 1945 there was a small nucleus of educated Koreans with technical and managerial skills. The founder of Samsung went to Waseda University, for example. And Park Chung Hee was proud of his service in the Imperial Japanese Army.

  4.  @UbermanNullist  "Also, the Japanese government prohibited the establishment of universities in Korea." I guess you never heard of Keijo Imperial University in Seoul? Which happened to the predecessor to SNU. Granted the majority of the students were Japanese but there were Korean students.

  5.  @UbermanNullist  What are you talking about? The Japanese established universal basic education in Korea for the first time in its history. If Koreans weren't educated, how did Lee Byung Chul (the founder of Samsung) attend Waseda University, one of the best universities in Japan?
