  1. Japan and Germany are compared in the case of forced labor and comfort women. This is not a matter of Korea-Japan relations or national relations, it is a matter of war crimes. Germany has admitted to the crime, made practicable reparations, and Chancellor Willy Brandt got down on his knees and apologized. Conversely, Japan turned to the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Korean people and covered up their war crimes.

    I think Japan's attitude is close to the essence of history. I had been in Japan for about 3 years, and I was quite surprised to see that Japanese people had no war criminal consciousness at all. They only thought of themselves as victims of the atomic bomb. The defeat in World War II was an opportunity to abolish not only militarism but ultimately the imperial system, but the United States interfered with it, such as granting indulgences to the emperor. Since modern times, Europe, Britain, and the United States have mainly targeted China and used Japan as an ally.

    If the Japanese perspective does not change, there will be no peace in East Asia. The root of the East Asian problem is the Japanese right wing.

    Japan must first come up with a solution to the issue of comfort women and forced labor. The solution isn't great. It is to admit that the issues of colonial rule and aggression, which were not recognized even in the 1965 Korea-Japan agreement, were illegal and cannot be justified, and even pretend to apologize and compensate. If not, Japan should be ashamed.

  2. Japan to allow the Rising Sun flag in the Olympics

    The Rising Sun Flag is a flag that symbolizes the sun spreading in 16 branches around the sun in an existing red circle. The Japanese government is in a position to allow the Rising Sun flag at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. They maintain the attitude that "they have no political intent and are merely a flag widely used in Japan."

    The Rising Sun Flag, which was the flag of the former Japanese Empire in the 19th century, is remembered as a “symbol of Japanese militarism” in Korea and China, which were victims of Japanese military aggression in the 20th century. The Japanese government is using the flag symbolizing war crimes even though it has not paid due compensation to the victims and has not fully reflected on its own history. In fact, the Rising Sun Flag is the flag of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and is the flag used by far-right forces in Japan.

    For this reason, the South Korean government has criticized the “Rising Sun Flag as a flag of hatred.” An associate professor of history at the University of Hawaii, analyzed Japan's behavior, saying, "The current Japanese government has been neglecting the rise of extreme nationalist forces and has been using nationalist expressions politically."

  3. The Olympics must not exhibit any political or biased tendencies. The host country, Japan, is also disseminating this information to athletes and officials who participated in the Olympics.
    But Japan, meanwhile, asked the IOC to require that athletes who participated in the Olympics pay a silent tribute to the victims on the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

    The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was not an easy decision made by the United States, the Allied Powers at the time, in that Japan, a war criminal country, did not give up on the war and continued to kill innocent people. Remembrance of the victims of the atomic bombing is no different from forcing people to visit Japanese shrines.

    This double aspect of Japan does not qualify as a host country for the Olympics, a place of global harmony, and even after the IOC rejected Japan's request to commemorate the atomic bombing unofficially, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Committee said they plans to include a performance that commemorate the victims of the atomic bombing in this Olympic closing ceremony.

    This proves that Japan has not yet abandoned its role as a war criminal country rather than an Olympic host country. I hope that the people of the world will face this double aspect of Japan and correct their misconceptions about Japan. I also demand the IOC not to tolerate this double act of Japan, the host country of the Olympics, and take corresponding measures.

    And Dokdo is the island of the Republic of Korea. But Tokyo Olympics committee marked the Dokdo as same color with japan island. As I know, United by emotion is the moto of this Olympic. But I'd like to ask Japan government and Tokyo Olympic Committee. Are you really believe you're operating this Olympic not to shame on the moto? I'm sick of Japan government 's twofold and double-faced aspect. I believe that is the real self of Japan which is deeply hidden. And Is IOC a puppet of Japan? If not, how can IOC just ignore these rude and foolish actions of Tokyo Olympic Committee? IOC can also be said to be irresponsible.

  4. The Japanese government is accusing the Republic of Korea government of providing korean meal boxes to the Korean athletes participating in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and the Japanese government continues to argue that food from Fukushima is safe.

    However, the Korean national team meal service center has been operated every time since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Japan also operated a separate Japanese food service facility for the purpose of preventing food poisoning at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. The United States also decided to procure its own meals using its own ingredients during Tokyo Olympic period.

    There are suspicions that Japan's exceptionally sensitive reaction to Korean meal boxes is an attempt to divert public opinion elsewhere after the goal of the "Fukushima revival Olympics" has actually failed. Due to the spread of Covid-19, the Tokyo Olympics are more emphasizing the 'safety and safe Olympics' than the 'revival Olympics', and even this is being shaken by the explosive spread of Covid-19 in Japan.

  5. Japan already has the bring martial art, which Japan gets Gold medals dominantly and unfairly, in Judo.
    Now, Japan wants to add another martial art in Karate. This has to stop. Ditch one from the Paris game.
