Japan surrendered in WWII, putting an end to its claim on Korea. What declaration made Korea independent again?

Truman, and Chiang Kai-shek, the declaration re-established Korea's independence. It also called for the empire's surrender, threatening "prompt and utter destruction" should they continue.
