“many of commanders and guards in POW camps were K.
-The Japanese apparently didn’t trust them as soldiers -and it is said that they were sometimes more cruel than the Japanese.”

Bataan death march was orchestrated by K units.
As one prisoner noted, "The K guards were the most abusive... the K were anxious to get blood on their bayonets; and then they thought they were veterans."

Hong Sa-ik was an ethnic K who, in WW2, became the overall commander of the Japanese prison camps in the Philippines. He was even held responsible for the atrocities committed in the Japanese prison camps. and he was executed as a war criminal.

Check out this from the Australian War Memorial:
"Saraburi, Thailand. September 1945. K guards, members of the Japanese Imperial Army, lined up for an identification parade. The K were amongst the most brutal of the guards encountered by Allied prisoners of war (POWs) working on the Burma-Thailand railway. After the Japanese surrender, identification parades were held of possible war criminals where former POWs would identify,for the Allied authorities, Japanese soldiers who had committed atrocities.
