Japanese would not waste time cutting paper. They just go straight to the straw and bambo instead. I've had som Tameshigiri practice over the years of doing Iaido, with this techniques they'd get stuck in the straw (not even having a bamboo core) with every cut.

武藝圖譜通志Muye Dobo Tongji (1790) : Comprehensive Illustrated Manual of Martial Arts in Korea
【 It is the official document at Korean Dynasty, written by The Korean King order in the 18th century 】
國練兵之制三軍練于郊,衛士練于禁苑,其禁苑練兵盛自 光廟朝,然止弓矢一技而已如槍劍法技,既未之聞焉,
Archery was the only martial art that had been practiced by Korean soldiers. They have no skills of sword or spear fighting.

武藝圖譜通志 says "花郞徒衆嘗數千人, 相與勉礪忠信, 且新羅隣於倭國則其舞劍器, 必有相傳之術而不可攷矣, 今因黄倡郞爲本國劍之縁起." (original text)
"Once 花郞徒 put together a group of thousands of people. Because they were very dedicated to their study, moreover, 新羅 was bordered on Japan, Japanese swordplay must have been introduced into 新羅 from Japan, but there is no way to research it.

(Because the swordplay must have been introduced into 新羅 at that time,) now we consider 黄倡 as the origin of 本國劍." (translation)
The author just directed his dreams to ancient times. It doesn't mean that Korean swordplay has actually passed down for generations.
