>Be anywhere outside of the US
>cheer or clap in a movie theater
>everybody turns towards you, frozen in disgust at what you’re doing
So true, I still find so weird when americans write something like “and then everyone in the movie theater started screaming and cheering when X happened”
Like WTF? You shut up and watch the movie in a movie theater, it is not a stadium!
There is no Hiroshima scene in the movie, anon, unless I somehow completely missed it? The detonation shown is the first test bomb and was in New Mexico.
Anyway, I guess point is Koreans hate the Japanese or something? Is that a thing I didn’t know about?
Yeah, it’s not a great relationship.
During the colonial period, more than 100,000 Koreans served in the Imperial Japanese Army. The service of these Korean men was forced upon them.
Approximately 200,000 Korean children (predominantly ages 12–17) were also sent forcefully as “comfort women” at the war frontlines to serve the Imperial Japanese Army as sex slaves.
In 2013, polls reported that 94% of Koreans believe Japan “Feels no regret for its past wrongdoings,” while 63% of Japanese state that Korean demands for Japanese apologies are “Incomprehensible”

Yeah, it was attempted cultural genocide. Some of the older generations have a Japanese name from when parents were forced to give their babies Japanese names and not speak Korean.
Y’know what’s hilarious though?
The current South Korean government is a direct descendant from the dictatorial regime implemented by the US after the Korean War. The regime was mostly made up from former Japanese colonial rulers, Koreans who were cozy to Japanese rule.
So the current political, cultural and economic situation there is based on American and Japanese rule and culture.

Does Korea have beef with Japan !?
Older generations of some Asians haven’t forgiven Japan for its War Atrocities they have committed on mainland Asia and the other Pacific islands before and during WW2 . It’s less of a problem with generations after the various wars. Its fairly common for older generations to hold onto grudges.
Having been party to the wrong end of a genocide, a simple “my bad” would be nice. Japan’s radio silence allows opinions to fester.
