Ito Hirobumi did not lead the Japanese annexation of Korea. He opposed it because he realized that the dying patient was not worth the direct rule. The annexation was promoted by civilian officials in Tokyo who did not know the actual situation and military officials who believed that the direct rule was essential for the defense of Japan from Russia. --Nanshu 23:04 7 Jul 2003 (UTC)

The article seems to be rather POV, author keeps labeling subject a hero: "His first commitment for his country was made in the field of education, but later he changed direction and joined the armed resistance for justice. He is regarded as a hero not only in both South Korea and North Korea, but also all over the world", etc.

I agree with the POV comment. I'll work on it, as well as the English. JFHJr () 11:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey Appleby, no matter how many times you search on the WEB, you will not discover it. North Korean Informations are restricted in S.Korea. if you want to know about this movie, you have no choice but to get it in Japan. (However, it is also difficult because it is old and unfamous in Japan.) By the way, do you have a source that An Junggeun is regarded as a hero in North Korea? Objectman 00:13, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] not only korean POV but also Japanese POV!

OK? Objectman 06:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

This is a encyclopedia, not your personal blogspot. If you feel that he is a "stupid guy who killed an old men", please add that to your livejournal, not wikipedia. Thank you. Deiaemeth 05:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
This is not my individual POV but a Japanese general POV. Objectman 11:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] terrorist comment

I deleted 'terrorist' comment because he is not regarded as a terrorist by the majority of historians both Korea and Japan.

Would you call someone a 'terrorist' if he was a French and assasinated a Nazi official during the German occupation of France? Would you describe him as a 'terrorist, tried to achieve a political insistence and the ideal by violence'?

Wikipedia is not a soapbox.
