"Chinilpa" also applies to Koreans that had sought greater alliance or unification with Japan in the last years of Joseon Dynasty, such as Iljinhoe and the Five Eulsa Traitors.Prosecution of "chinilpa" gained increasing support in South Korea after the gradual democratization during the 1980s and 1990s, and the first anti-"chinilpa" legislation, the "Special law to redeem pro-Japanese collaborators' property", was passed in 2005.
