Over 800k Koreans applied to join the Japanese Army. (17,364 accepted) The Japanese Army was one of the most coveted professions among Korean men. Considering coal mines were much safer than battlefields what makes you think Japan needed to force Korean men to work in coal mines?
Meanwhile only 339 Korean men joined the Resistance Army. That's the ratio of 800,000 pro-Japanese to 339 pro-Korea thanks to unprecedented prosperity under Japan's rule during which population & average life span of Koreans doubled & GDP per capita of Koreans increased fivefold.
