These days Zainichi Koreans are granted citizenship pretty much automatically if they request it. But some choose not to, mostly because they prefer to retain Korean citizenship instead (Japan does not allow dual citizenship).
Yes, previously they were forced to choose Japanese names to naturalize, but this has not been the case for a long time.
