When Mizobe existed, Japan Air Commuter had its headquarters in the Kagoshima Airport Building Annex in Mizobe. 
South Korea had little contact with Australia in these times.
The Australians sent Presbyterian missonaries to Korea in these early times.
Many Koreans came to Australia to learn about Christianity.
Korea was known to the world as the Hermit Kingdom as they kept their shores from outsiders who wished to trade with them.
Korea in 1910 was attacked by Japan to annex it.
This is when Korea had lost its title as being called the hermit kingdom. 
When Korea was a protectorate of Japan, Japan was represented by the Resident-General. 
In 2001, an academic research of the legality for Korea's annexation by Japan from 1910 to 1945 which was titled "A reconsideration of Japanese Annexation of Korea from the Historical and International Law Perspectives" was held at Harvard University with a support of Korea Foundation.
The conference was held 3 times, namely on January, April and November and related scholars of history and international law participated from the South Korea, North Korea, Japan, the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Canada.
James Crawford, a Professor of Cambridge University and a specialist in international law, challenged the Korean claim.
He said that in the international community at the time, international law applied only to the relationship between the civilized countries.
It did not apply to the non-civilized counties.
When a civilized country colonizes a non-civilized country, even the form of treaty was unnecessary.
Rather, what was important in those days was how the relationship between these civilized and non-civilized countries was perceived by the other civilized countries.
In that sense, by the fact that the annexation of Korea by Japan was admitted by the Western powers, it cannot be illegal even if how big procedural defect existed or how much it was against the will of the government ruler of non-civilized country.
To sum it up, at the time of the annexation, it was not rare for one country to assume control of another if the latter could not survive on its own, from the perspective of preserving international order and the Japan–Korea Annexation Treaty was not illegal in terms of international law.
Anthony Carty, a Professor of the University of Derby stated "During the height of the imperialism, it is difficult to find an international law sufficient to determine the legality/illegality of a particular treaty.
"Alexis Dudden, a Professor of University of Connecticut discussed about the Nitobe Inazō's science of colonial policy.
She is known as an author of a book ""Japan's Colonization of Korea: Discourse and Power"" in which she discusses how Japanese policymakers carefully studied and then invoked international law to annex Korea legally.
According to Kan Kimura, the bottom line of this conference is that the Korean claim "The annexation was illegal" was totally unaccepted by the participated Western scholars, among others by those specialized in international law. 
During the 2002 FIFA World Cup, which South Korea co-hosted with Japan, and in which North Korea did not take part, the South's team reportedly had "supporters in the North", and North Korean newspaper "The People's Korea" published North Korean Football Association chairman Ri Gwang Gun's congratulations to his South Korean counterpart on the South's "great success in the World Cup", which he described as "a striking demonstration of the advantages and tenacity of the Korean nation to the world".
Glyn Ford, an expert on East Asia, has noted that when North Koreans "can't support North Korea they'll support South Korea.
They'd prefer South Korea to win against anyone else, unless they're playing them.
They're cheering for Koreans."
