Hi Cyntia,
Names really hav a HUGE impact on how one see's themselves. I'm glad you pointed out the connection of name changing with slaves because it ideally is the same difference. Perhaps the Japanese were intending to leave behind Korean names entirely to have greater control but also, I'm assuming that it meant Korean names would be harder to trace in the long-run if they were to ever regain control.
