The Iljinhoe (一進會; 일진회) was a nationwide organization in Korea formed on August 8, 1904.[
In 2006, a South Korean presidential committee announced the names of 120 people suspected of collaborating with Japan during its annexation rule of Korea. The list included 27 members of Iljinhoe, all of whom allegedly took the lead in suppressing Korean troops and supporting Japan-Korea annexation. The people on the list will face investigation on suspicion of conducting traitorous pro-Japanese activities during the 1904–1919 period, although no prosecutions will take place as the people implicated have long since died.[5]
