From 1999 to 2007, under the Japan-hating and pro-China Clinton administration, the so-called Interagency Working Group (IWG) report on the German-Japanese war crimes review was carried out.
At this time, the IWG investigated the following war crimes allegations:
- The Japanese military systematically forcibly kidnapped 200,000 women, made them into sex slaves, and killed them when they fell ill.
- Unit 731 conducted human experiments.
The United States spent a huge amount of money(about 30 million dollars) and eight years trying to find evidence and materials about them from confidential documents of about 8.5 million pages.
However, the objective evidence that was thought to be available in this investigation was not found.
In the 142,000 pages of confidential documents held by the United States about Unit 731, there was no evidence that Unit 731 conducted human experiments or engaged in germ warfare.
This means that everything said about Unit 731 after the war has been proven to be an unsubstantiated fabrication.
Conversely, the study about comfort women revealed that:
-The comfort women system was an extension of the legalized prostitution system in Japan at the time.
-The Japanese military initiated this system to prevent general violence against women and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
-The U.S. military did not recognize the criminal nature of the comfort women system of the Japanese military.

The story that the Japanese see Chinese and Koreans as if the Nazis were looking at Jews may be derived from the anti-Japanese ideas of China and South Korea.
However, it is a lie that Japan and the Japanese did not respect them as ethnic groups.
After the Sino-Japanese War, the Korean Empire was founded after Japan recognized the independence of Korea in the Qing dynasty. However, as the economic collapse worsened, many members of the Korean Peninsula(they insisted they had 2,000,000 korean) demanded annexation of Japan. They sent petition more than four times, but in Japan there was a lot of opposition to the annexation and it had not done. The annexation was decided because the Korean Empire used the land as collateral for huge debts that France and Russia could not return. Japan had to prevent Russia from acquiring the Korean Peninsula, which aims to invade Japan. In this way, Japan's annexation of Korea took place.
Japan took on a huge amount of debt and invested a huge amount of national money to improve the Korean Peninsula to the same level as Japan.
It's not that the Japanese weren't disrespectful of Koreans. Records show that it comes from the Japanese dislike of dirt, laziness, dishonesty, and cunning of them. However, on the other hand, many Japanese were working hard to civilize them. For example, Japan was reconstructed as a language capable of writing Hangul characters, which remained only in colloquialism. And it was taught at school at the same time as Japanese.

The Korean Empire was financially and militarily bankrupt, the administrative organization was destroyed, and the state could not be operated losing a law enforcement organization. In other words, the Korean Empire at that time was going bankrupt. The situation was so serious that high-ranking officials, including Ye Wanyong, were completely aware that the existing royal rule was no longer functioning. Gojong tried to get money from Russia to rent out the leased land, so those who had studied abroad who knew what the leased land meant could not forgive him. They chose Japan after really seriously thinking about what to do to avoid becoming a colony and conserve the Korean people.
They believed that Japan would accept it in the form of an equal annexation rather than a colony. In other words, "annexation" was actually the position that Koreans won in negotiations with Japan.
The above is an explanation that a former Korean who was naturalized in Japan taught.
Then, during the war, Korean men were not drafted, but volunteered for the Japanese army.
The competition rate was very high, and the number of applicants continued to increase with each hire.
If Koreans felt despised by the Japanese, why were there so many applicants? Currently, Koreans claim that the application was to improve their social status. But in the face of wartime labor shortages, there were many other ways to improve social status relatively safely.
