The "liberation" celebrations in South Korea are likely to be somewhat troubled by the "new right" attempt to rewrite history where Japanese colonization and crimes against humanity were a good thing for Korea. The "new right" are really the old legacy elites descended from the collaborator class, that have tried to keep their heads down since the end of the Park Chung-hee dictatorship. The new relationship with Japan (promoted by the US) isn't going over well.
