Ito Hirobumi (1841–1909) was a politician who framed Japan's modernization, but also an aggressor who trampled the Korean Empire with force. In Japan, he is highly regarded as the first Prime Minister who led the enactment of the Meiji Constitution and laid the foundation for a modern state. However, to Korea, he is the primary culprit of colonization who forced the 'Eulsa Treaty' in 1905 to deprive Korea of its diplomatic rights, and as the first Resident-General, led the abdication of Emperor Gojong and the disbandment of the military.

[Description] The military police and Gendarmerie who crushed Joseon with terror. From the late Joseon dynasty to the early Japanese colonial period, Japan implemented the Gendarmerie police system, where 'Kempeitai' (military police) were in charge of general public safety to suppress Korean resistance by force. They created an atmosphere of extreme fear throughout society by having even general officials and teachers wear uniforms and carry swords. In particular, they suppressed independence movements and thoroughly monitored the daily lives of the Korean people by wielding the 'Summary Judgment Power,' which allowed them to punish Koreans on the spot without trial, and the 'Joseon Flogging Ordinance,' a barbaric corporal punishment.
