After legalizing the name change in November 1939, they mobilized provincial, county and sub-county offices, police stations and all other ruling tools and pro-Japanese organizations to this end.

When they faced Koreans' refusal to accept the gangster-like demand, the occupiers coerced their obedience by force of arms.

They also imposed wicked sanctions in a despicable way upon those who refused to change their names.

The Japanese imperialists did not allow them to get a job, persecuting them as "unpatriotic person" and "disturbing element" and putting them first on the list of "labor draft" or "patriotic corps", and their children to study at schools of all levels.

They also abused even the means of transportation in name change, keeping freight of those with Korean names from being transported.

Furthermore, they themselves changed the names of Koreans without their knowing.

Owing to their vicious policy of name change, many Koreans were subjected to national humiliation and pain and even killed.

The Korean people will surely make Japan to pay for their past crimes.
