plz do not just copy and past from Wikipedia. you just ruined one of the respectful Korean citizens life and history. according to your post I feel like he 'volunteered' to join in Japanese army but actually he forced and threatened by Japanese army to join that horrible team. Again, please research properly before you post someone's life and history
