..... the Allied neglected our insight and know-how to fail the military operation in 1950.

For your asking, MM

Foreseeing Japanese surrender, a Korean independence activist Yo Un-hyung organized the Founding Alliance on August 10, 1945 and told the Governor-General of Korea that he and his organization was ready to be transferred the sovereignty of Korea if Japan surrendered. The Governor-General accepted his offer and promised technical supports until Yo and his organization could manage the government without their supports. On August 15 when Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration, Yo immediately reorganized the Founding Alliance to the Korea National Preparatory Committee and commenced building the independent Korea as a neutral country.

Korea had to be neutral as a buffer zone because there were hundreds of war among China, Mongolia, Russia and Japan to take the peninsula in the history.

The Allied denied everything he made and went into the bloody war as everybody knows.
If they had admitted Yo's efforts, they did not have to fight in the first place.
Living next to the peninsula, it looks a clumsy mistake to me.
