It has been showed in Media - such as Korean artists haven't been broadcast on Japanese tv, politics about the island Dokdo etc. I have also heard that many Koreans and Japanese do not travel to each others countries for sightseeing and shopping like they use to because of this.
AND....Now the Korean Magazine MAXIM is under high pressure after an article called: 일본 여자와 사귀는 법, 피폭된 애 말고. Meaning: How to date Japanese women who haven’t been exposed to radiation.
Maybe you can guess that this article headline, that was printed on the cover of the Feb issue, on a Korean magazine has been a huge offense to Japanese people. Even Koreans were shocked by this, saying it is not appropriate since the 2011 earthquake and tsunami caused a big disaster in modern history.
The Editor-in-chief may have made an apology, but really, was it really an apology?
Of course, looking back in history, there were horrible things Japan did to Korea, and there are things Japan should apologize for, but by doing so it means they have to "bow" except "defeat" which is not easy. As Korea so far has not received such words. The dispute between the countries might settle on the surface, but as times go by it seems the wounds go deeper.
And as an editor-in-chief why did he decide to throw oil onto a fire?!
