Don't all rush now.
Japan established the bulk of Korea's modern infrastructure during the colonial period and in the postwar period has poured billions of dollars into developing the South Korean economy. In terms of imperialist powers dragged kicking and screaming from a former colony, Japan has been pretty reasonable in its approach to the Koreas.
Japan was certainly a more benevolent colonizer than most of the European imperial powers.
