Yeah, I suppose the 27 years since the release of Groove is in the Heart qualifies as "pretty fast."

South Korea did not follow suit. According to Mr Nhat, a Ho Chi Minh City-based travel agent, an estimated 800 rape victims are still living and now determined to tell their stories. They want South Korea to recognise the children its soldiers fathered.
Exemplary of this is the Lai Dai Han community, consisting of Vietnamese of mixed Korean descent – the result of brutal rapes committed on Vietnamese women by South Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War. To this day, the South Korean government has not apologized to the victims for the sexual assaults committed by their troops. Today, some 30,000 Lai Dan Han children live on the fringes of society as a result of their mixed ethnicity.
Even worse, Hanoi is not keen on letting the Lai Dai Han issue resurface. However, the community is becoming increasingly vocal in its quest for public awareness and obtaining formal apologies from South Korea’s government. A petition was circulated in 2015, and senior US officials spoke out in their defense. For its part, Vietnam is remaining quiet for political convenience: the country wants to look to the future, and South Korea wants to forget about its role in the war. Therefore, much like the Khmer Krom, the Lai Dan Han have little hope to emerge from the margins of society, let alone receive an apology from Seoul.
During the Vietnam War from 1955 to 1975, Vietnamese women and girls, some as young as 13 or 14 years old, gave birth to thousands of children after being assaulted by Korean soldiers. Derogatorily called “Lai Dai Han” (literally “mixed-blood”), many of these children live in shame and abject poverty today.
Despite repeated pleas from survivors, South Korea has staunchly refused to recognise horrendous crimes during the war, let alone issue a formal apology. In a 2013 press statement, a defence ministry spokesman audaciously declared that “such intentional, organised and systemised civilian massacres by the Korean army is impossible” and that because the Korean military followed strict rules, “there was no sexual exploitation of Vietnamese women”.
South Korea’s flagship research ship Isabu seems to have sailed into a controversy with the Japanese government over its name. The incident has hindered some oceanographic research collaborations between the two countries.
The ship’s name refers to a sixth-century Korean general, Kim Isabu. In South Korea, he is known for his maritime conquests, which in some historical accounts included two islets that are the subject of a decades-long territorial dispute between South Korea and Japan.
Sang-Mook Lee, a marine geophysicist at Seoul National University, says that disruptions to the two countries’ research collaborations will restrict the ship’s scientific capability. “Had we known that the Japanese would react in such a way, I don’t think Koreans would have chosen the name,” he says.
But the senior JAMSTEC researcher says that the dispute is unlikely to have a major impact on Japan’s marine research because the country has its own research ships and marine projects. Even so, he is upset that the ship was given such a politically-charged name: “Scientists should be politically neutral.”
The minjung theologian Suh Nam-dong describes han as a "feeling of unresolved resentment against injustices suffered, a sense of helplessness because of the overwhelming odds against one, a feeling of acute pain in one's guts and bowels, making the whole body writhe and squirm, and an obstinate urge to take revenge and to right the wrong—all these combined."

Any sympathy one might feel is quickly overwhelmed by their obnoxious demanding and whining attitude.

it is therefore impossible
to accept, without careful verification,
the statements which they make with
regard to Japanese misbehavior; but I
am satisfied, from cases that I have,
investigated, and from the testimony of
the Japanese themselves, that the natives
have good ground for complaint'.
The Korean people
are ignorant, untrustworthy, degenerate
—call them what you like—but a nation
seldom falls so low that its component
members are unable to discriminate
between justice and injustice—between
a policy which gives them protection and
a policy which neglects or disregards
their personal rights.

no doubt that j-colonization in korea was RELATIVELY most dedicated and beneficial towards the natives among the colonizations by ex-majors.

It wasn't a protectorate it was a colony in all but name. In other words the Japanese Government lied about it.
Yeah yeah. How about some evidence for your claims then?

Don't all rush now.
