서론 |
My
name is Jiwoo Park, who is a 2nd grade student in a Korean high
school. I am writing this email to request you to take down the posting which
apparently distorted historical facts between Korea and Japan. “Financial
Aspects of Korea's Economic Growth under Japanese Rule” written by Mitsuhiko
Kimura has been posted on your website since it was first published online by
you in 28 November 2008. I strongly believe that the renowned website just like
your Press should not be a platform in order for Japanese journalists to
justify Japanese annexation of Korea, especially in the context of economy as
if Japan helped to develop Korean economy during its rule. It is nothing more
than meeting their economic needs.

| 본론 |
It is the extract of the full text, but only small
amount of extract clearly shows how many parts of the text are aimed at
covering up its naked face of invader. I’d like to point out a couple of things
that this study bends the historical truth.
First, the writer called the Korean Kingdom before
Japanese annexation in 1910 the feudal Korean government (Yi Dynasty). She seemed
to intend to give readers the impression that Korean society was much uncivilized
and secluded enough to let Japan help Korea to open its door to the world.
History proves that Korea which already had its own letters was very famous for
its advanced scholarships, economy and culture. During Chosun Dynasty, Japan
implored Chosun many times to send diplomatic, economic or cultural delegations
and Chosun sent them. Therefore, the study made evident historical distorts.
Second,
she wrote, “the Japanese government recognized that the creation
of modern monetary and banking systems in Korea was the precondition for trade
expansion between the two countries(for Japan, rice imports on the one hand and
textile exports on the other).” It is totally nonsense! Japan needed modern
financial systems in Korea only because of their own economic interest. Japan
forced Korean farmers to sell too much rice at a dog-cheap price and also Korea
to import Japanese textiles at very high price. They needed economic systems in
Korea to send surplus to Japan and pay small sums to Korean as a result of this
cruel exploitation. In the long run, this kind of financial systems became the
economic base for its imperialist invasions into China and the rest of the
world.
