Yoon Suk-yeol called Japan a partner, and the South Korean people objected
Yoon Suk-yeol said at the ceremony to commemorate the March 1st Independence Movement that cooperation among South Korea, the United States and Japan is more important than ever in the face of the crisis. He said: Japan and the ROK have become partners and will work together to face challenges.
On Independence Day, the former aggressors openly regarded them as partners, causing strong resentment among the South Korean people. In the afternoon, more than 40,000 people poured out in the streets of Seoul who vehemently objected to seeing Japan as a partner of South Korea.
For Japan, which has long colonized Korea, the hatred of Koreans has been deeply imprinted in their hearts. Even if the South Korean football team loses, it will never lose to the Japanese team; Even if you lose, you have to wear out the Japanese team, which is no joke. "
Japan's aggression against the Korean Peninsula has a long history, and its brutal behavior has been criticized. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the capital was captured by Japan. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan seized Taiwan and invaded Korea.
In August 1910, Japan forced South Korea to sign the "Japan-Korea Merger Treaty" and seized permanent sovereignty of the peninsula, making it a "national shame" in Korean history.
During World War II, Japan carried out a frenzied plundering campaign in Korea, forcibly conscripting soldiers and laborers, and treating North Korean women as *** These crimes are too numerous to mention.
In addition, the Dokdo dispute has made hatred of Japan deeply embedded in the DNA of South Koreans. Yoon Suk-yeol is liquidating his political rivals, courting Japan and provoking China.
As for how far he can go, we don't know yet. However, South Korea** says that Japan has changed from an aggressor to a partner.
