Yes the disadvantages are like these followings.
1.ban the entering school of the kids whose parents did not accept the name changement.
I found the photo of graduation album in 1941 with Korean style names,yet they'd enrolled at that school beforet the name changement.Who had enrolled after name changement did not graduated before 1945.
Thus, it is very hard to prove that this kind of discrimination had ever happened.Do you have any sources of it like list of kids who enrolled the school?
In a veiw or Korean,the school was the kind of the facility where children were Japanised.If so,on the contrary,gov't should have forced them to enter the school in order to Japanise kids.

2.ban the employment of the people who did not accept the name changement.
At that time,the cheifs or 3 districts out of 13 in Korea did not change their names.How coud they discriminate the people who did not change their name?

3.ban the public government service to the people who did not accept the name changement.
What kind of public service?
20% of people did not change their names.
If the gov't had discriminated them that severely,there would have been big movements to fight against discrimination.But there was no big movement to disagree the discrimination.

4.apply police shadowing system to the people who did not accept the name changement.
It might be true. I have no idea.
stupidumboy said:
5.apply the prior disadvantages of forceful drafting for military and hard laboring to the people who did not accept the name changement.
I have no idea.Give me a source of it,please.

6.ban of the rice distribution to the people who did not accept the name changement
(remember -the most rice harvested in korea was forcefully exported to japan in very lower price(usually less than the 1/5 price of that harvest by Japanese farmers in Japan)- and korean people had to rely on the distribution system)
After 1940,every Japanese had to rely on the distribution.If gov't had banned to distribute particular people ,they would have died.
Did 20% of Korean die because of it?

7.ban the postal service to the people who did not accept the name changement
There were politians who had Korean names.It would not be true.
stupidumboy said:
I cannot deny some Koreans wanted to adopt Japanese style names but looking at the result that self wannabes of japanese style names were just less than 6% of the Korean people for the first 6 months after its srating.
You are right.then important thing is reason why the rest of 74% changed their name.
if it was just sticky recommendation,it was not particularly critisizable.
If it was threatening due to discrimination which you mentioned,it was critisizable.
BTW,where did you get the information of discrimination?
Could you give me sources of them.

About the real independence year of Korea from Japan -Its in the year of 1948,15th Aug.
The year of the establishment of the souvereign South Korean government and USA had approved it. United Nation had approved souvereign independence Korean government in 1948,12nd of Dec.
Sorry,I was wrong.1952 was the year when Korean territory was internationally concluded.

About Korean a lieutenant general Hong Sa Ik -the Southern Army of imperial Japan stationed in Philipine-He was another symbol of annexation therefore it was very hard to discriminate him and Japan wanted to dispatch him to get the charge of the dirty work-the POW prison camp control where Zeneva accord usually ignored and need to treat the alied Pows like a ****.
Plus Hong was really good student in the military academy,Japan wanted to wash their hands by abandoning those jobs to Koreans-I used to have a email contact with a son of Dutchman militaryman who experinced POW camps and he told his father's memory there -the prison guard were mainly Koreans and Taiwanese and they were not taught the Zeneva accord to treat the allied POWS properly like humans.
Also he told one story that Japanese officers and noncommissioned officers made fun of forceful fight between Korean prison guards and allied POWS,if they did not beat against each other seriously,they would have been likely to be shot or beat like subhumans.
Why was it very hard to discriminate the symbol of annexation?
No matter whether they knew the Zeneva accord or not it was morally bad to ill-treat POWs.
the last epsode might be true and might not be true.
Personal epsode is often exaggerated or made more interesting.
I cannot guess why that Japanese forceed the Korean to fight agaist the POWs even though the Korean belonged to Japanese Military and had guns in other occasions and there was possibility to revenge.

Hong was the commander -thats very good use of him to represent of the bad record of Japanese soldiers against the allied POWS.
Do you think he was in charge of ill-treatment of POWs?
if he was,the representation was his fault.(However, in Japan,he is just used as an example of high rank soldier who had Korean name)
If he wasn't,the Korean should claim against Allied nations who executed him.

Hong went to Chosun kingdom's military academy before annexation,but the academy was shut down forcefully -but King Kojong(the last second King of Chosun dynasty) wanted to them to transferred into central military youth academy of Japan. I'd day they were advantaged group treated differently from the general Koreans by Japanese.
Normally,people in higher leve should be more strictly Japanised than people in lower level,if the Japanese really hate Korean culture,language,etc...
