The Investigative Commission on Pro-Japanese Collaborators’ Property, a presidential body, has decided to confiscate land owned by descendants of nine pro-Japanese collaborators. The property will be used to compensate independence fighters and their decedents, as well as projects commemorating the independence movement (but presumably not the Liberators).

All your base are belong to us, traitors!
Looks like the KWP are calling the shots.
Another shining example of Legal Plunder and the evils of all that is government.
“The property will be used to compensate independence fighters and their decedents”
Does that mean the families of Americans who fought in World War II (those who actually fought and won independence for Korea), will get some some money from the plunder?
We should throw all traitors into a lake of fiery kimchi
60 years ago? A good idea, perhaps.
Today? Mr. Chips nails it.
Why is it when I hear the word “Japan” or one of its variants, all rational thought leeches out of my mind?
Considering the small number of independence fighters, someone is going to get rich. Or does the definition of an independence fighter include anyone who may have given a Japanese person the finger at sometime during the colonial period?
