How did the Japanese treat the Koreans during World War 2?
Japanese did all kinds of cruel things with Koreans and Chinese.
They did experiments performing Cesarean section to pregnant women without giving anesthetics, they peeled off face skins of people to test if they can survive, putting needles under the finger tips and many kinds of things.
The Japanese locked Korean family's in their homes then set the house on fire, basically the Japanese burned them to death. Japanese would put splinters under the Koreans finger nails to test their pain tolerance. They would dig holes in the sand and bury the Koreans up to their shoulders, then the tide would come in and kill them. There is some many terrible things the Japanese did to Koreans. Japanese treated Koreans like Hitler treated Jewish people. The only reason people aren't really aware of Korean and Japanese history like Hitler and Jewish history is because Koreans are ashamed to talk about it, they shouldn't be. Also, Japanese would strip Koreans of their culture during their attempt to take over Korea. Japanese wouldn't let Korean people speak Korean otherwise they would be tortured, sometimes killed. Japanese men would rape Korean women, most of them being virgins (can't say all because there is no proof, but the majority of them were virgins).
Yet, Japan do not apologize to both china and Korea. Actually they are proud of what they have done.

Most common religions of Korea?
Answer 1
Although only half of South Koreans profess an organized religion, sociologists consider the society to be very religious. Most of those who are non-affiliated practice syncretism in regards to the other faiths. The urban and more educated sectors are the most religious, with rural areas practicing more syncretic beliefs and usually being classified as non-religious. Among those who do affiliate with an organized religion, the majority accept Christianity (49%). There's a considerable Buddhist population too (35%), and a small Islamic population (<10%).
Also, South Korea sends out the second most Christian missionaries in the world (after the US).
Answer 2
I don't believe South Korea has one religion that is the most common. It is a hodgepodge. While Protestant Christianity is growing, it only is accepted by 20% of the population. It does do well in the cities. 11% of the Population are Catholics and 25% are some kind of Buddhist. Another 20% are not particularly religious, but do follow some traditional Buddhist customs and accept some of the precepts of Confucius. Another 2% belong to the Moonies or some other cult. The remainder are secular, atheist and agnostic and so don't have a recognized Religion.
