The Institute for Research in Collaborationist Activities said Friday that it will publish next August a Who's Who of Koreans who collaborated with Japan during its colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula.

The institute announced the plan in a ceremony Friday along with the publication process and selection criteria for pro-Japanese collaborators.

A total of four thousand pro-Japanese collaborators will be included in two volumes.

The Who's Who will be completed in eleven volumes by 2011 which will also include Korean organizations and institutions that collaborated with Japanese colonialists and Japanese colonial bodies.
