On March 1, 2014, South Korea held anti-Japan rally in Seoul, during which some Koreans seem to have stepped on not only PM Abe’s photo but also a photo of “Anne Frank” for unknown reasons. Her photo found on internet seems so identical with the one Koreans have stepped on. For confirmation, please watch the attached video of the rally
Those who occupied the ruling class called "Yangban" during the Joseon period of Korea (1392-1910) were neither obliged to work nor to pay taxes.
They enjoyed not only "exploitation of the lower class" and "unproductive life" but also affairs with Kisaeng (also spelled gisaeng), sometimes called ginyeo (기녀), were officially sanctioned Korean female entertainers or sometimes prostitutes.
Women of the Kisaeng class performed various roles fully recognized by the government of Korea. They were trained to entertain those in the ruling class at the special facilities established by the government of Korea. Not only serving to function as entertainers or prostitutes to the ruling class, they also performed diplomatic and military roles whenever necessary.
Major roles performed by the women of the Kisaeng classs:
1. They entertained the ruling class.
2. They entertained the Chinese missions with sexual services.
3. They were often shipped out as gifts to China.
4. They were ordered to live in the remote areas to entertain the Korean soldiers defending the borders.
The government of Korea had been viewed as "a large scale brothel" by China during the Joseon period of Korea.

Although North Korea often reports and claims that Japanese people committed mass killing at the time of Great Kanto Quake that occurred at 11:58:44 am JST (2:58:44 UTC=Coordinated Universal Time synonymous with GMT) on Saturday, September 1, 1923, the article published on October 21, 1923 reports otherwise on what happened after the major quake.
Law enforcement authority states as follows:
According to our survey on credibility of the newspaper ariticles frequently reporting that some of the Koreans committed the illegal acts at the time of Great Kanto Quake, we could acknowledge the fact that Koreans were generally good while some discontent Koreans committed numerous crimes.
They committed such crimes as looting, arson, rape, murder, and possession of illegal weapons.

The newspaper article on Korean brutality at the time of Great Kanto Quake-dated October, 21, 1923
Deeply impressed with well-defined analysis of U.S. anti-Japan maneuvering in Asia before and after the Greater East Asia War (or the World War II or the Pacific War called in the Western Hemisphere; read The Greater East Asia War" VS. "The Pacific War" ) in the blog post I was recently exposed to, I have decided to devote my time and effort to writing a brief English summary of the post whose title is "Why the Republic of Korea has turned against Japan? 韓国が「反日」になったわけ ".
Syngman Rhee (born on March 26, 1875 and died on July 19, 1965) had forced the Korean population to deny anything Japanese by nurturing hatred toward Japan among the Korean population as soon as he became the first president of the Republic of Korea in 1948 ( Read When S. Korea Gained Independence? August 15, 1945 or August 13, 1948? ).
He was actively involved in fabricating a story that Korea before Japan-Korean annexation in 1910 was the most ideal state in the East whereas denouncing falsely Japan as the most barbaric nation and in spreading it throughout U.S. via such mass media as newspapers published by William Randolph Hearst, thereby trying to seek and secure assistance from U.S. (Read Koreans Return Evil for Good ).
His fabricated story of Japan as "evil" undoubtedly served as a basis for U.S. to determine its political intervention in the Far East. A majority of Koreans who actually lived happily during the 35 years of annexation had to accept his fictitious story, knowing it was untrue because anyone who publicly stated "The Great Imperial Japan was good or Rhee's government was bad" was arrested, jailed, tortured, and executed by Rhee.
He further strengthened his anti-Japan policy, so as to detruct people's attention from the serious crimes he committed soon after he sworn in as the first president. Just to list a few of his atrocities in South Korea, Rhee was responsible for Bodo League massacre of 1950 (South Korean civilian organizations believe there might have been up to 1,140,000 victims,representing 6% of the 1950 population of South Korea. ), Jeju Uprising of 1948 in which 14,000 to 60,000 individuals were killed in fighting or execution, and National Defense Corps Incident of 1950 in which some 50,000to 90,000 soldiers starved to death or died of disease on the march and in the training camps because the National Defense Corps Commander Kim Yungun (Kim Yun-keun) (Kim Yoon-keun), son-in-law of Defence minister Shin Sung-mo embezzled funds allocated to foods for the recruited soldiers.
Thus, the direction of Japan-South Korean relationship was basically determined when Rhee became the first president of the Republic of Korea, well assisted by the U.S. government. His anti-Japan policy has been uninterruptedly handed down, one after another, to the current president.

A Brief History - Takeshima Invasion by ROK: During the period of January 18, 1952 (date of unilateral establishment of Syngman Rhee Line) to June 22, 1965 (signing date of Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea), 328 Japanese fishing vessels were captured and 3,929 fishermen were abducted by South Korea. And,44 Japanese fishermen were brutally murdered by South Korea. Besides, South Korea used abducted fishermen as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Japan on the Treaty.
Too late now but if you meet at least the following condtions:
1. Deep apology to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan;
2. Return of Takeshima Island with compensation for the illegal occupation;
3. Accpeting Koreans (citizens of the Republic of Korea and of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea who illegally sneaked into Japan) to be repatriated by Japan;
4. Compensation for the damages incurred when the Republic of Korea invaded Takeshima;
5. Necessary punishment for those involved in repeated defamation of Japan and her people and apologies to Japan and her people;
6. Apologies to Japan and her people for having insulted the brave souls of the fallen soldiers enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine, ensuring that the Republic of Korea will never let anyone repeat insulting them;
7. Immediate reimbursement of Yen loans.
The above tweet has been selected as it well represents the general feelings Japanese people share towards the Republic of Korea.
The Republic of Korea must face history and must teach its people un-erasable history that Japan-Korea annexation in 1910 was properly executed with full recognition by the international community as it was done in accordance with international law.
Besides, no battles were fought between Japan and Korea in relation to the annexation except the fact that the 1st Prime Minister of Japan Ito was assassinated by a Korean terrorist named An Jung-geun, thereby realizing Japan-Korea annexation. Japan-Korea annexation of 1910 wouldn't have happened unless Prime Minister Ito regarded as a major obstacle to the annexation was assassinated.
The assassinated Prime Minister Ito, one of those well acquainted with the history of Korea and its culture had always opposed the annexation and also had insisted that Korea would no doubt be well controlled by Koreans themselves in view of its past when they once exhibited their talent.

Below is the disturbance caused by the South Korean citizens pretending to be Japanese rightists while Japanese nationals were staging authorized peaceful demonstration against Fuji TV on August 21. Fuji TV is a Japan's private television network said to be functioning as a South Korean propaganda organ and is biased against Japan and her people.
The sole purpose of the pseudo Korean rightists is to undermine the image of Japan and her people.
The pseudo Korean rightists shout through loud speakers:
North Koreans! Get out of Japan! Defeat crushingly the Democratic Party of Japan! Smash up PM Kan!
While Japanese demonstrators shout at the pseudo Korean rightists:
Don't come here! Go away!
Below is the post published on August 25.

Believe it or not!: Who's supporting the Democratic Party of Japan?
It is often observed that those exposed to the cultures of the nations who fought against Japan during the Greater East Asia War tend to habitually regard “the people driving around in the black-colored vehicles with loudspeakers and with Japan’s national flag hoisted high” as the Japanese rightists.
To describe better some realities in Japan by pointing out one crucial flaw quite possibly resulting from biased views commonly found in them, the following paragraph is taken from “ Japanese Right-Wing Lunatics ” written by Mike (in Tokyo) Rogers :
Some who visit Japan say that leftist and rightist groups are everywhere. So what's new? The big difference? The leftist clowns drive around in big white buses and vans with loud speakers blaring out some sort of nonsense about this or that. The rightist clowns drive around in big blue buses and vans with loudspeakers blaring out nonsense about that or this. The funny part is that both groups hire the same people to drive their vehicles. You will often see a huge bus screaming down the street blaring out some message that the emperor should be restored to head of state or that Japan should re-militarize the Rhineland, er, I mean, re-militarize the four small islands north of Hokkaido that the Soviets "stole" at the end of World War II. I chuckle every time I see these buses because even though the bus could ride 60 people, there is usually only one inside; the driver.
As pointed out in the paragraph, there is no big difference between “leftists” and “rightists”. However, one must recognize one important flaw in his paragraph above; that is, “leftists” are not just the clowns driving around in white buses and vans screaming nonsense but they are those who organized “Democratic Party of Japan” whose members are mostly ex-members of “Japan Socialist Party” (reduced to a minority party), now renamed as “Socialist Democratic Party”. Democratic Party of Japan has been the ruling party headed by Prime Minister Kan and former Prime Minister Hatoyama since September, 2009. The ruling party has been closely connected to the Korean peninsula in a number of ways. And, “Rightists” are mostly Korean citizens living in Japan.
Therefore, there is no big difference between them in a sense that both harbor an ulterior motive of politically influencing Japan and her people, so as to restrain them not to seek any hostile moves toward the Korean peninsula while generating cash for promoting their propaganda against Japan and for developing missiles and nukes on the Korean peninsula.
In the video, you will find Japanese Rising Sun flag and South Korean flag being hoisted on the vehicle with banners saying “Promoting and Strengthening Friendship between Japan and South Korea” and “President Chun Doo-hwan! Welcome to Japan!”
“Pseudo Rightist groups” have been organized and have existed here in Japan for the purpose of undermining an image of Japan and her people. They have been quite effective in having planted distorted image of true Japanese rightists in the minds of not only Japanese but also of foreigners.
The video describes a case (reported by a weekly magazine “Shukan Shincho” on July 20 , 2006) in which a Sumo wrestler named Asa Shouryu (Mongolian Grand Champion) was asked by a South Korean if he had ever experienced discriminations in Japan and if they had been severe.
Asa Shouryu said: No, nothing at all.
South Korean said: Don’t hide it. Just say it.
Asa Shouryu said: No, nothing particular at all.
South Korean said: By nothing particular, you mean you have experienced some?
Asa Shouryu said: I told you "Nothing at all". You! Kimchi f-cker! (Kimuchi is a Korean pickle)
“You! Kimchi f-cker!” angered “rightists” in Japan. “Rightists groups” began their protests against him. They tried to pressurize Japan Sumo Association, the Ministry of Education and Science (in charge of sumo wrestling), his Sumo stable, Prime Minister’s Official Residence, Japan-South Korea Parliamentarian group, etc. into punishing Asa Shoryu.
