The Japanese made peace with and paid reparations to the vast majority of (but not all) allied countries, including Korea.

Yeah, and you wonder why paying money to the descendent people raped/killed/mutilated/{and many other horrendous anti-human barbarism brutality} [0] is not enough to get peace.

Turns out, people are not stupid.

If the wrongdoers are not sincere, money never suffices. For example, you'll need a court to uphold an apology [1], then what is the substance of the apology anyway?
