Koreans resented Japanese rule during this period primarily due to the restrictions imposed on Korean businesses. The Japanese colonial rule was characterized by economic exploitation and cultural suppression, which led to widespread resentment among Koreans.

The Japanese authorities imposed strict controls on Korean businesses, limiting their growth and development. This was done to ensure that the Japanese businesses had an upper hand in the Korean market, leading to economic dominance.

While the Japanese did support the establishment of Korean newspapers, these were heavily censored and used as a tool for propaganda. The newspapers were used to spread Japanese ideologies and suppress Korean culture and identity, which further fueled resentment.

The Japanese efforts to improve the Korean economy were largely seen as self-serving. The infrastructure and industries that were developed primarily served the interests of Japan, with little benefit to the Korean people.

Lastly, the inclusion of Korean history in the school curriculum was done in a way that portrayed Japan in a positive light and downplayed the atrocities committed during the colonial rule. This manipulation of history was seen as an attempt to justify the colonial rule and was deeply resented by Koreans.
