Coffee comments

South Korea is complaining about Japanese education when they're indoctrinating their children to hate Japan. There are children in South Korea who drew crayon pictures of Japan being nuked, and a district tried to make it mandatory to put stickers in classrooms that say “This device was made by a war criminal”. Three years ago, people in South Korea were harassing a US official for having a moustache similar to a long dead Japanese general's and trying to break into the Japanese consulate. I experienced this firsthand when I was growing up and my own parents constantly reminded me of what Japan did seventy years.

South Korea doesn't have a right to judge when it's teaching its own kids to hate.

The comfort women have become a symbol of anti-Japan propaganda and Korean nationalism and self-victimization.

Japan created a comfort women foundation that Moon dissolved so Korea could maintain its victim status. One Korean activist group embezzled money meant for the surviving comfort women.

At the same time, South Korea is teaching their children to hate children to hate Japan. I grew up with my parents constantly reminding me of what Japan did as if it happened yesterday. My classmates in high school spit on me for wanting to study in Japan. This is the country where people set themselves on fire at protests and children drew pictures of Japan being nuked.

South Korea keeps blaming Japan when it should be blaming itself for maintaining its hate for generations. It's insincere, hypocritical, and makes me ashamed to be Korean.

Japan has repeatedly apologized and paid for its war crimes. Instead of victimizing itself and blaming Japan for something that happened over seventy years ago, South Korea needs to fix its issue of indoctrinating its children to hate Japan. 

This is the country where children drew pictures of Japan getting nukes, people set themselves on fire at protests and and broke into a Japanese consulate, gas stations refused to refuel Japanese cars, and a district tried to put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal”. I grew up with my own parents constantly reminding me of what Japan did over seventy years ago as if it happened yesterday.

South Korea is manipulating its own children to make sure its grudge lives on. Such behavior is self-righteous, self-harming, and makes me ashamed to be Korean.

As a Korean, I am disgusted at Moon's hypocrisy. South Korea doesn’t care about mending ties, it only cares about victimizing itself and indoctrinating its children to hate Japan. Moon dissolved the comfort women fund that Japan started, and he threatened to pull out of GSOMIA and then lied about consulting the US about it.

Korea needs to stop blaming Japan when they're the ones worsening relations. The hypocrisy, self-victimization, and self-righteousness make me ashamed to be Korean.

It's South Korea's fault that relations haven't improved. Moon's administration dissolved the comfort women fund that Japan started, threatened to pull out of GSOMIA, then lied about consulting the U.S. on GSOMIA. The week after Trump met with Kim Jong Un for the first time, South Korea cancelled its joint military drill along the border, yet it still did its regular drill on the Liancourt Rocks in case of an “invasion from Japan.” 

Nothing Moon has done has shown any indication of wanting to improve ties.

Japan has repeatedly apologized and paid for its war crimes, yet South Korea continues to demand money, blame Japan for something that happened eighty years ago, and indoctrinate its children to hate Japan. This is the country where people set themselves on fire at protests, gas stations refused to refuel Japanese cars, and a district tried to put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal”. As a child, I grew up with my own parents constantly reminding me of what Japan did eighty years ago as if it happened yesterday.

The indoctrination and self-victimization makes me ashamed to be Korean.

South Korea doesn’t care about mending ties. Not only did Moon dissolve the fund that Japan started, but he threatened to pull out of GSOMIA and lied about consulting the US about it.

South Korea has been using the comfort women to victimize themselves and fuel anti-Japan indoctrination. This is the country where people set themselves on fire at protests and broke into the Japanese consulate, children drew pictures of Japan being nuked, gas stations refused to refuel Japanese cars, and a district tried to put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal”.

The hypocrisy, self-victimization, and self-righteousness make me ashamed to be Korean.

Japan has apologized and paid for its war crimes repeatedly. Meanwhile, the Moon administration dissolved the comfort women fund that Japan started, an activist was arrested for embezzling money meant for the comfort women, and a Korean professor was sued for libel after publishing a book proving that some Koreans willingly became comfort women or helped recruit other comfort women.

South Korea is the one that needs to get over it and stop using Japan as a scapegoat. The hypocrisy and self-righteousness make me ashamed to be Korean.

Japan has repeatedly apologized and paid for its war crimes, yet South Korea denies that it paid, and it indoctrinates its children to hate Japan,

Just two years ago, people were refusing to refuel Japanese cars, breaking into a Japanese consulate in Busan, and harassing a US diplomat for having a moustache similar to a Japanese general's. This is the country where people set themselves on fire at protests, children drew pictures of Japan being nuked, and a district tried to put stickers in classrooms that say, "This device was made by a war criminal."

Moon claims to want to repair ties when his administration dissolved the comfort women fund that Japan started, threatened to pull out of GSOMIA, then lied about consulting the U.S. on GSOMIA. The week after Trump met with Kim Jong Un for the first time, South Korea cancelled its joint military drill along the border, yet it still did its regular drill on the Liancourt Rocks in case of an “invasion from Japan.” 

Nothing Moon has done has shown any indication of wanting to deepen ties.

Japan has paid and apologized for its crimes, yet South Korea continues to victimize itself and indoctrinate its children to hate Japan.

Just two years ago, people were refusing to refuel Japanese cars, harassing a US official for having a moustache similar to a long dead Japanese general's, and trying to break into the Japanese embassy. The Moon administration threatened to scrap GSOMIA and lied about consulting the US. Its children drew pictures of Japan bring nuked, and a district tried to make it mandatory to put stickers in classrooms that say “This device was made by a war criminal”.

South Korea needs to stop pretending like it's waiting for an apology or compensation. Korea's hatred against Japan is like a festering virus that will never die no matter how many times Japan apologizes, as long as Koreans keep indoctrinating their children to believe they are are owed something. The hypocrisy and self-righteousness makes me ashamed to be Korean.

Just two years ago, people were refusing to refuel Japanese cars, harassing a US official for having a moustache similar to a Japanese general's, and trying to break into the Japanese embassy. The government threatened to scrap GSOMIA and lied about consulting the US. Its children drew pictures of Japan being nuked, and a district tried to make it mandatory to put stickers in classrooms that say “This device was made by a war criminal”. My classmates spit on me in high school for wanting to study in Japan. My own parents constantly reminded me what Japan did as if it happened yesterday instead of seventy years ago.

The self-victimization and self-righteousness make me ashamed to be Korean.

South Korea claims that Japan hasn't apologized for its crimes when Japan has apologized and paid multiple times, while the Moon administration dissolved the fund that Japan started, and an activist was arrested for embezzling money.

South Korea is using the comfort women to fuel nationalism and anti-Japan indoctrination. This is the country where people set themselves on fire at protests and try to break into the Japanese embassy, children drew pictures of Japan being nuked, schools tried to put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal”, and gas stations refused to refuel Japanese cars.

Japan has paid and apologized for its crimes, yet South Korea continues to victimize itself and indoctrinate its children to believe they're owed something. The Koreans are so obsessed with victimizing themselves that they set themselves on fire at protests and tried to make it mandatory to put stickers in classrooms that say “This device was made by a war criminal”. As a child, I grew up with my own parents constantly reminding me of what Japan did seventy years ago as if it happened yesterday.

Meanwhile, the Moon administration dissolved the comfort women fund that Japan started, and last year, it was discovered a Korean activist group was embezzling money meant for the surviving comfort women.

Such behavior is self-righteous, self-harming, and makes me ashamed to be Korean.

South Korea pretends to care about the comfort women when it is using them to fuel nationalism and anti-Japan indoctrination. This is the country where people set themselves on fire at protests, children drew pictures of Japan being nuked, schools tried to put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal”, and gas stations refused to refuel Japanese cars.

Meanwhile, Moon himself dissolved the comfort women fund that Japan created, and an activist was arrested for embezzling money.

The hypocrisy and self-righteousness makes me ashamed to be Korean.

Japan has repeatedly apologized and paid for its war crimes, yet South Korea denies that it paid and indoctrinates its children to hate Japan while exploiting its victim status.

Just two years ago, people were refusing to refuel Japanese cars, harassing a US official for having a moustache similar to a long dead Japanese general's, and trying to break into the Japanese embassy. The government threatened to scrap GSOMIA and lied about consulting the US.

My classmates in high school spit on me for wanting to study in Japan. My own parents constantly reminded me what Japan did as if it happened yesterday instead of seventy years ago.

Koreans are so obsessed with victimizing themselves that three people set themselves on fire at protests in the last six years. When a Korean professor proved that some Koreans became comfort women voluntarily or helped recruit other Koreans, she was sued for defamation.

South Korea needs to stop pretending like it's waiting for an apology or compensation. Korea's hatred against Japan is like a festering virus that will never die no matter how many times Japan apologizes, as long as Koreans keep indoctrinating their children to believe they are are owed something.

South Korea has no intention of improving ties with Japan. It dissolved the comfort women foundation formed by Japan and lied about consulting the U.S. before threatening to scrap GSOMIA, and an activist leader was arrested for embezzling money meant for the comfort women.

South Korea's only priority is victimizing itself and indoctrinating its people to hate. It's the only country where children draw pictures of Japan being nuked and people will set themselves on fire at protests, break into the Japanese embassy, refuse to fuel Japanese vehicles, and put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal”. I grew up with my own parents constantly reminding me what Japan did over seventy years ago.

Instead of constantly blaming Japan, Korea needs to look at deep look at itself. The hypocrisy makes me ashamed to be Korean.

South Korea is using its victim status to indoctrinate its children to hate Japan. Their children drew pictures of Japan bring nuked, and a district tried to make it mandatory to put stickers in classrooms that say “This device was made by a war criminal”. My classmates in high school spit on me for wanting to study in Japan. My own parents constantly reminded me what Japan did as if it happened yesterday instead of seventy years ago.

Meanwhile, Moon dissolved the comfort women foundation that Japan created, and the leader of a Korean activist group was arrested for embezzling money meant for the comfort women.

South Korea's obsession with Japan is hypocrytical and self-destructive and makes me ashamed to be Korean.

Japan has paid and apologized for its crimes, yey South Korea continues to victimize itself and indoctrinate its children to believe they're owed something. They will show pictures drawn by children of Japan being nuked, set themselves on fire at protests, refuse to refuel Japanese cars, harass a US diplomat for having a moustache similar to a Japanese general's, and try to put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal”. The Moon administration dissolved the comfort women fund that Japan started, threatened to pull out of GSOMIA, then lied about consulting the US. When I was a child, my own parents and grandparents constantly reminded me what Japan did as if they happened yesterday. The endless hatred and indoctrination makes me ashamed to be Korean.

The comfort women have become a symbol of anti-Japan propaganda and Korean nationalism and self-victimization.

Japan created a comfort women foundation that Moon dissolved so Korea could maintain its victim status. Just last year, it was discovered a Korean activist group was embezzling money meant for the surviving comfort women.

Moon may say he wants to strengthen ties, but Koreans are only interested in victimizing themselves.

They are the only people who set themselves on fire at protests, try to make it mandatory to put stickers in classrooms that say “This device was made by a war criminal”, and indoctrinate their children to hate Japan. As a child, my own parents constantly reminded me of what Japan did seventy years ago as if it happened yesterday.

Such insincere, hypocritical behavior makes me ashamed to be Korean.

South Koreans are indoctrinated into believing they are still owed something over what happened seventy years ago. They are so obsessed with victimizing themselves that they set themselves on fire at protests, tried to make it mandatory to put stickers in classrooms that say “This device was made by a war criminal”, and indoctrinate their children to hate Japan. As a child, I grew up with my own parents constantly reminding me of what Japan did seventy years ago as if it happened yesterday.

Such behavior is self-righteous, self-harming, and makes me ashamed to be Korean.

South Korea needs to get over what Japan did seventy years ago and stop indoctrinating its children to hate. This is the country where children drew pictures of Japan being nuked, schools tried to put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal”, gas stations refused to refuel Japanese cars, and people set themselves on fire at protests. 

I grew up with my own parents constantly reminding me what Japan did as if it happened yesterday instead of seventy years ago. The self-righteous self-victimization makes me ashamed to be Korean.

Japan has compensated for its war crimes multiple times. It's time for South Korea to get over the past instead of victimizing itself and indoctrinating its children to hate Japan. It's the only country where people break into the Japanese embassy, refuse to refuel Japanese cars, set themselves on fires at protests, try to make it mandatory to put in schools stickers that say “This device was made by a war criminal”, and harass a U.S. diplomat for having a moustache similar to a Japanese general's. I grew up with my own parents constantly reminding me of what Japan did seventy years ago as if it happened yesterday.

The people are indoctrinated into believing they are still owed something over what happened seventy years ago. The hypocritical, self-righteous attitude makes me ashamed to be Korean.

It's about time the police is held accountable for all the lives they took.

Koreans go mental over anything related to Japan. These same people drove a car into the Japanese embassy, refused to refuel Japanese cars, set themselves on fire at protests, and tried to put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal".

@smithinjapan

Here's what's going to be amusing.

Japan and many wannabe-Japanese, will simply say SK has no right to say what Japan does, and it is not an issue for International courts. Then, when SKorea once again bans imports as a result, Japan will cry victim and demand it go to the ICJ and demand SKorea start imports again because it's "not fair!".

When Japan removed South Korea from its whitelist, Koreans broke out in a mass boycott, refused to refuel Japanese cars, broke into the Japanese embassy, and threatened to pull out of GSOMIA. Hard to top that.

@Thomas Goodtime

When Japan stops treating them like crap?

Meanwhile, Koreans are indoctrinating their children to hate Japan, trying to put stickers in elementary school classrooms saying "This device was made by a war criminal”, harassing a US diplomat for having a moustache similar to a Japanese general's, drawing crayon pictures of Japan being nuked, and dissolving the comfort women fund started by Japan itself just so they can keep victimizing themselves. I grew up with my own parents constantly reminding me what Japan did as if it happened yesterday instead of seventy years ago.

@Samit Basu

Then you should never agree with what Japan's rightwing politicians are doing to Japan since you know too well on the details of the crimes of Imperial Japan, and why Japan's neighbors are eager to settle score by war.

"You're Korean. You should think this. How dare you think for yourself."

Typical indoctrinated Korean response.

South Korea is deceiving countries into playing along with its self-victimization narrative while it's indoctrinating its people to hate Japan. Only in that country will gas stations refuse to refuel Japanese cars and people will drive a car into the Japanese embassy. It was just two years ago when people were harassing a US diplomat for having a moustache similar to a long dead Japanese general's, three people tried to break into the Japanese embassy, and the government lied about consulting the US about scrapping GSOMIA. The hypocrisy makes me ashamed to be Korean.

South Korea doesn't deserve any more money after dissolving the fund set up by Japan itself and embezzling money meant for the comfort women last year.

Koreans are stuck in the past because they've been indoctrinated into hating Japan and victimizing themselves. They are the only people who will set themselves on fire at protests, refuse to refuel Japanese cars, harass a US diplomat for having a moustache similar to a Japanese general's, and try to put stickers in classrooms saying “This device was made by a war criminal”. They threatened to pull out of GSOMIA, putting millions of lives at risk of nuclear war, then lied about consulting the US. When I was a child, my own parents and grandparents constantly reminded me what Japan did as if they happened yesterday.

Instead of constantly demanding money from Japan, South Korea needs to look at itself and its culture of self-victimization.
