It's likely the Japanese didn't dismantle the existing systems of Korea, it's more likely they replaced key officials who could be made compliant to the Japanese war machine that had taken over the government due which was made possible due to the Meiji restoration. It's complicated.

Anyway, the Korean people didn't have that culture shock where their language or writing system replaced meaning their culture and traditions of education continued... Besides in the north where education was restricted for the elite. In the south, there is no child slavery (as in Africa).

Edit: and your response was more polite than 80% of aggressive lefties certain they're right about absolutely everything like some witless teenager.

To be fair, Korea's writing system was replaced. The Japanese made all Koreans get Japanese names and banned teaching of Korean, or anything being published in Korean. They tried to completely replace Korean culture, religion, traditions, and language with Japanese.
