Chinilpa
From the late 19th century and until 1945, a number of ethnic Koreans worked with the Empire of Japan.

These people are now considered by much of Korea to have been collaborators with Japan, and thus traitors to Korea. Examples of such people include members of the Iljinhoe or Five Eulsa Traitors.
