Anti-Japanese activities overseas by neighboring countries are as active as ever, especially on foreign video sites where there are many pro-Japanese comments, etc., and suddenly, at least once a week, we see anti-Japanese comments that are completely off-topic.
Many Japanese people are almost ignorant about the Japan-Korea issue, so they believe the lies of Koreans, but Japan was not at war with Korea at that time.
On the contrary, we fought together as Japanese in WWII.
Since history is not covered in the media, Japanese Americans and Japanese living abroad are not exposed to the truth, and I often hear stories of Japanese children being bullied at school because of it, so I decided to post this topic to let people know about the correct history.
If you have any useful information, whether in English or Japanese literature, please share it with us.

I recently learned about the Korean anti-Japan thing then it turned out to be that Koreans only benefited from Japan's annexation and even after that until today. They were basically brainwashed by distorted history mostly influenced by the left communists and North Korean and Chinese governments. Now many Korean and international scholars are bringing out the facts. Japan didn't even invade Korea, it was done by an international agreement proposed by the Korean government and it was celebrated internationally because of the severely corrupted Korean governments for centuries like current North Korea.

Japan immediately released Koreans from the slavery system upon annexation and it spent 1/4 of their own tax money to improve their lives - from the most poverty state (while there was even a famine going on in the northern part of Japan), they built more than 5,000 schools for children even Seoul University and taught Both Korean population and their life span DOUBLED just in 35 years like a miracle and they were taught fishery and farming skills, they pay less than a half of taxes Japanese or foreigners on the peninsula did, yet so many Koreans smuggled themselves into Japan for a much better life.

Besides, during the WW2, Koreans fought as Japanese under that rising sun flag they all volunteered and well paid (in fact like 98% of the Korean men failed the exam and turned down) so many were not sent to the battle fields but were just sent to administer local people and prison camps so that's what's going on. people and prison camps so that's why not so much casualty compared to Japanese men on mainland (like 20k vs

I once lived in South Korea for a few years, now I see the truth In fact most of them say now they In fact most of them say now they understand why their elders kept saying their life was better under Japans control but on media and school all about that anti-japan propaganda. They said the rising sun was not a problem until the recent soccer match in 2011... It is indeed a tragedy that several years ago an old Korean man was beaten to death by a man in his 30s just because he said he was happy and safer during Japanese annexation.

I encourage people to learn history from the university courses, it's quite interesting what they teach is so different from What Koreans writes on Wikipedia or just simply learn their language so that you can see for yourself what those people are actually saying in their country.

"Many in South Korea are not only boycotting Japanese products, but also studying hard about Japan. A sharp increase in the popularity of Japan-related books in recent months is a good example. Among the top books is one titled Anti-Japan Tribalism.

The book, which consists of three main chapters, criticizes the conventional perception and knowledge of South Korean society regarding the Japanese colonial era. It was a best seller at several major bookstores in the country in July and August [2019]. At Bandi & Lunis, one of the largest booksellers in South Korea, the book topped the list of best-selling books for seven weeks at 13 branches across the country in the past two months.

What's in the book?
In the first part, it rebuts claims that Japan exploited South Korea's rice, land, and workforce during the colonial era. In the second portion, the book explains why anti-Japanese sentiment spread in South Korea while analyzing in the third sections the comfort women issue which has been a center of the dispute between two countries for a long time."

“Anti-Japan Tribalism is not alone. Books about Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japanese history, economy, politics and culture all saw increasing demand in recent months. Online content such as videos or podcasts about Japan are enjoying popularity in South Korea as well."

"...It is also not difficult to find explanatory videos on Japanese history, politics and society made by South Korean creators on popular social media channels such as YouTube or Naver, a domestic platform equivalent to Google."

"...This new trend hints at the desire of South Koreans to understand the current tensions with Japan within in a wider context."

↓ The above (#57), the gist of an English article on the prominent website The Diplomat(2019 ）)

● Right now, while the boycott movement is spreading in Korea, the number of Koreans who start learning about Japan is rapidly increasing.

● In particular, "Anti-Japanese Speciesism"》(2019年) by a former Seoul National University professor and others, which outright denies the victim history of the Japan-Korea annexation era in Korea, has been a bestseller in Korea for two consecutive months.

● In this best-selling book,
① Part 1 refutes claims that Japan exploited Korean rice, land, and labor during its rule
② Part 2 explains why anti-Japanese sentiment spread in Korea,
③ Part 3 analyzes the comfort women issue, which has long been at the center of the dispute between the two countries.

● Popularity is not limited to this book, as Koreans seeking to know the true history of Japan and Korea are flocking to books on Japanese politics, history, and culture, and Youtube videos dealing with Japanese and Korean history

Korea has been claiming that Japan and Korea This is a good article that will encourage people abroad to ask questions about the true nature of the annexation period.
If your children are told in school that it was an atrocious rule, please share this article as it is.

There was an article about the top
Google searches in Korea for "Ohtani, Korean" in Korean characters since the last week or so.
Just around that time, as expected, the number of comments on MLB YouTube videos
specifically targeting Japanese comments, such as
Ohtani is Koreas Pride,
Ohtani is Korean, and
harassment comments increased rapidly.

But no one believed the Korean theory, and
on the contrary, Koreans started beating me up for being anti-Japanese, and
even some Koreans criticized me for being ashamed and telling them to stop,
I changed my account name to something other than my Korean name
even though no one was listening. He started pretending to be Chinese by saying I am Chinese
even though no one asked him.

But he kept saying the magic words
Radiation and Remember Pearl Harbor, which only an anti-Japanese would say,
and he would suddenly get angry when talking about Korea, so
he was immediately discovered as a Korean and beaten up. He was beaten up.

However, when some people commented that he was writing this
on purpose by a Japanese hater to make relations with Korea worse,
he changed his strategy to pretending to be Japanese,
commenting in poor Japanese, or
saying something in his profile in Japanese.
"I'm a fan of Otani," he wrote in his profile in Japanese, making a desperate "I'm Japanese" appeal.

Still, he is accused of being Korean, and no one believes the Korean theory, so
today he finally gave up on the Korean theory,
today he is commenting "Otani is Chinese" all over the place.
The Japanese who took it in stride are dissing China.

It was bad with Ichiro and with Nakata, but
I'm tired of the Korean theories that suddenly come out when they become famous
Someone should do something about it!

Only a country that has nothing to boast about
Everything in the world has to say it originated in Korea to make it fit.
