Where did you get your history education, that "Japanese had never forced Koreans to change their names to Japanese names"? If you meant to say Japan did force Japanese names on Koreans towards the end of Japanese occupation, yes, it'll be true; Japanese names were forced upon Koreans toward the end of Japanese occupation of Korea. In part it was so that Japan could force the conscription of Korean youth into Japanse army. Also, forced labor in the name of helping motherland war effort. Just talk to any living Korean who had, say, high school education prior to 1945 in Korea. They'll tell you you are not only a liar but a crude Japan apologist. Also, regarding "incredibly paranoiac attitudes with hatred and contempt against us mixed together," as you have written, show any evidence hatred as you have written. Indeed I for one do have contempt for a person like youself who continues to talk bald lies about Japan's past. > I think it's true that there were IJA generals who have Korean names. > I wonder how the Koreans would explain about this.

Korea may have been in dark age when Japan invaded and pilaged Korea. However, any modern education started in Korea by Japanese benefited mostly Japanese brought to Korea and Japanese colaborators. Note that most of land where Japanese came to occupy were the result of outright expulsion of Korean peasantry by Japanese.
