Friendliness between Japan and Korea is withering?
The South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reports the obvious:
According to a survey by Gallup Korea and the Japan Research Center, 20 percent of Koreans have friendly feelings towards Japan and 36 percent of Japanese felt the same towards Korea.
In a 2002 survey by the Chosun Ilbo and Mainichi Shimbun, 35 percent of Koreans and 69 percent of Japanese had friendly views of the other country.
When asked the reason for their antipathy, most Koreans cited the territorial dispute over the Dok-do Islets, while most Japanese said they’re turned off by anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea.
The Dokdo/Takeshima dispute became a major issue in Korea in recent years, with one of the most noteworthy incidents being the 2003 public display of anti-Japanese artwork in a Seoul train station. The pictures, which a local elementary school had assigned its students to draw, were shockingly hateful and received media attention in Japan:
When your neighbor is proudly displaying artwork that shows your entire country being slaughtered by a giant exacto-knife, it’s pretty obvious that friendly feelings towards that neighbor are going to decline…
But if they aren’t feeling the need for friendship with eachother, who are they looking towards?
When asked which country Korea should be close with, Koreans chose the U.S. (37 percent), North Korea (28 percent), China (20 percent), and Japan (5 percent). Japanese said Japan should be closest to the U.S. (42 percent), China (17 percent), South Korea (6 percent) and North Korea (3 percent).
Well, at least the South Korean can claim Japan prefers it to North Korea….

Is it telling where South Korea is heading for?.
Most Koreans I know hates US, Japan and China infact they most of foreigners, many Koreans now realizing their close neighbour “Nth Korean” is part of Korea, thus alot of sympathy & pityful feeling towards Nth Korea than US, Japan & China.
However, Sth Koreans allied with US & Japan in politically. Sth Korea fears China over Nth Korea. I hope Koreans should know their real enemy is China not Japan or US.
Thankfully they are starting to realizing China’s dark minds.
beside the fact that north Koreans are Koreans….I don’t think I would ever ally with them…look what they have to offer the world.
Takeshima/Dokuto issue let Japan know how Koreans hate Japan.
It is making Japanese people avoid anything related to Korea.
Japanese biz is escaping from Korea as well as American funds.
The Japanese stopped using high interest consumer finance and pachinko.
These are run by Koreans, the sources of gangsters and moving to Korea.
Hyper-inflation from money shortage is starting in South Korea and 100 times larger bill is issued in North Korea too.
South Korea lost the value of military strategy and the US army is withdrawing to Japan.
Instead, China is gaining mineral resouces in North Korea and Russia is gaining non-freezed port.
South Korea is following China along their obeying-to-the-powerful principle with imagining it becomes the strongest nation.
Korea is bankrupting but the refugees do not go to Japan as they hate her.
Wow! Anti-Japan sentiment of Korea settles everything amicably.
I think I heard there is movie where the opposite of what you said above happened. (Japan fell into the sea of Japan( East Sea, to be politically correct) ).
What is the title of this movie?
Let me guess this movie made by Korean?

I don’t really trust choson ilbo’s polls. Just from my personal experience, most koreans do not hate japanese, they hate the government of japan. Rarther, I think it’s the other way around. I mean there seems to be more hate speeches published by japanese against koreans around the web like on youtube.
Granted korean netizens aren’t exactly helping. It is however, unrealistic to expect koreans to sit quietly while Abe and LDP keep making “corrections” in history to bring about so called “beautiful japan.” Rather than hating the other side, japanese people should really think about where their country is headed.
There are morons on both sides.
Unrealistic to expect Japanese to sit quietly while Korean historian and politicians keep creating their version of history filled with “Han” and the hatred.
Agree that morons know no borders. I want to emphasize japanese should focus on where japan is headed and what japanese are doing. What supposed hatred of japan by koreans has no real consequence to japan. They still buy more japanese stuff. Japanese cannot stop koreans from making hate speech against japanese but they can stop japanese from doing the same.
BTW, I’m not really aware of korean historians and politicians creating their own version of history. Are you referring to the idiotic speeches made by Roh and his trolls? Or the irrelevant ranting made by the media? I think they’re examples of morons you speak of and do not represent general public sentiment. Much like Abe’s rantings do not represent most japanese.
There is nothing radical about where Japan is heading for, she is not heading for militarism unlike some media want people to believe.

I don’t see any korean historians and politicians creating their own version of history in Samuel’s pdf.
‘Light and shadow of South Korean in the U.S. society. 5′, one of 5 volumes about reflection after VT Tech massacre from OneKorea News translated through software.
‘The Jew is South Korean of the deadlock.’
The wisest Jew in the world also says to the South Korean that it is a deadlock. South Korea seems to be closing as even the Jew who lives all over the world as the Diaspora (Jew who scatters and lives beyond the sea) cannot be established, and the people to be cruel.
American is evaluating immigrants who came from South Korea as “Diligent effort type man”.
However, my idea is a little different.
It migrates to the United States and the event that the South Korean immigrant is dark, and heavy has been seen for 30 years or more. It has pride that both joys and sorrows have been done with a concern different from other people as the South Korean.
Some of South Korean brothers’ problems are enumerated.
First, there is not wanting to admit defeating obstinately. Obstinacy might appear as diligence achieved according to the person to the last minute and a strong success desire.
It rubs big, it conflicts when turning it to others, and the dispute etc. are generated though the problem might succeed if obstinacy is turned to oneself.
There is “Siding” as work that the South Korean who emigrates in the United States obtains the fat income. It is work to paste aluminum, the chip or the vinyl splinter to the building. The South Korean ends what American does spending one week to obtain the value as not the salary system but “Piece?work” (commission system) on three days. It is necessary to work during a day during 15?18 hour (including nighttime) for that. Their longevity is considerably shorter than the average though it is a fat income.
The South Korean is that “Empty formalities unprepareness type” is numerous in the second. American says “Superficial” this. It is meant that there are superficially no contents.
When the South Korean has all worldwide brand-name goods, it is said, and it likes to obtain the fact deflecting.
It is heard that there are again a lot of “Dr. Nise” in South Korea. “What is he doing?” is the most important for the South Korean. It is asked that it is a professor or it is Diet member or it is a president or it is a chairman. The wife asks when becoming an awful case as someone. It becomes a barometer when this evaluates the person.
Importance for American is “How is he alive?”President Lincoln is respected highest as great man because a great way of life is done.
The characteristic of the South Korean in the U.S. is that in the third, there are a lot of impatient people. All members are interested in the quail egg when hearing that all members become hairpiece shops, and the quail egg sells high if it is heard that the hairpiece shop makes a profit. After a while, all become not good.
Fourthly, it is not possible to become honest. It is a large problem definite as man. The conflict between parents and the child who came to the United States is a problem of occurring exactly because of this.
The conflict starts from a trifling very small thing.
When having a telephone call from someone, and connecting to father, it is often said by the child, “Say that there is no father”. Children feel sorry for this worry in a single phrase.
A lot of these are had even as for clergy who should have a lofty character.
It is heard that brothers who cannot speak English receive the trial, and I have helped on countless occasions for the past 30 years. However, it tells a lie even to the lawyer who helps himself/herself, and there is a person who insists on his validity, too. 99% of such people is defeated. It is because the contradiction point goes out naturally if it faces other party’s lawyer.
Finally, there are a lot of words.
It is preferable if it is said that the stress that builds up in the immigrant life will be canceled because it makes noise because the same race gathers, and it is also true that it enthuses about speaking ill of others, and there are a lot of “Negative toque” that distributes only a groundless rumor.
The South Korean is convinced and the point should by It is the convinced. of good point straight as there is 101 in case of there are 100 the point is convinced. Straight but the South Korea race cannot stand straight from the point that should be mended at once in the world though it should encourage, and it be developed that it is good by one step a step.

Not to mention that the translation is unclear,
I think it is just not good idea to mention VT Tech massacre in this web site to make Korean look bad…
Please stop using babelfish to translate your posts, Ken. Just write in Japanese, otherwise no one understands what you’re trying to say.
They are understood in ‘Occidentalism’.
Those who cannot get the meaning do not have to read.
Those who can understand Japanese only have to read the site.
Such is blog. What are you responding to such nervously?
If the Jews, Native Americans and African-Americans of my continent still had the same kind of hatred Koreans seem to have against all their wrong-doers, this world would be in an even bigger mess than it already is.
I am from Canada and I love my country, but do I condone everything the government, past and present, does in the political arena? No.
And boy would I ever be pissed if an entire nation of people hated the innocent citizens of my country for something the powers that be did before I was born.
