  1. They are secretly obsessed with Japan. It's called inferiority complex.

  2. He represents Japan and Japanese people. Your pan Asian rhetoric trying to claim him is laughable.

  3.  @IwantItalyPizza  did you know Parasite was based off an Indian film "Minsara Kanna"? And recently a Korean drama used the title "Dr Slump". It's IP theft of Akira Toriyama's work.

  4.  @IwantItalyPizza  Oldboy was based on a Japanese manga, it's not an original Korean source. As for Korean culture, I don't want to get into politics but everyone knows the truth.

  5.  @MK-vc5jb  Korea has no architecture of their own except mud huts lol. Korea's entire civilization was a cheap imitation of Chinese civilization. The temples and grid structure of central Kyoto is based on Tang Dynasty grid lining.

  6. He is Japanese first

  7. @user-OperationRabbit625 Korea has less than 80 years of history.

  8.  @IwantItalyPizza  I don't like Korea, but I won't deny the progress of South Korea's film industry. Unlike politics, art is appreciated by all. However, I absolutely dislike Korean dramas. It's boring and repetitive with lame plots.

  10. Yes, they claim everything but invented nothing (important).

  11.  @leverkusen8373  my Japanese female friends told me, "Korean guys have helmet and mushroom hair haha" (kinoko-style). Another said "Korean guys look like they are sleeping even when their eyes are open". These are true words. It's so funny 😅

  12. A Korean tourist committed more than 16 counts of crimes including sexual assault and theft in his first week in Kyoto.

  13. Lol, Koreans often like to lie and claim the cultures, histories and even genetics of other nations. Anthropological, archeological, eugenics and linguistics evidence to debunk Koreans' claims on Japanese genetics, language and culture. 1) Eugenics - The latest genetic research published in Smithsonian concluded that most modern Japanese (Kofun) originated from Yangtze basin, China while they are not determined Han Chinese. This accounts for more than 70% of modern Japanese people. The rest are relegated to Yayoi, Jomon, Ainus, Ryukuans and the inevitable mix of these varying genetics. It's crucial to add that the Yayoi are not Koreans despite the persistent claims by the Koreans. They are a proto mongoloid group that traversed to Japan via the Korean peninsula, and related to Japanese as they are to the Han Chinese (Trivia: famous Japanese actress Yuki Amami traced her lineage to Tibetans again cementing Japanese origins to the Yangtze basin. A documentary by NHK also supports this). Genome analysis research conducted by Associate Professor Jun Ohashi at the University of Tokyo. ”研究室の扉「DNAを縄文時代まで遡る」大橋順准教授” further debunks Korean claims of Japanese genealogy. Japanese pirates who raided Korean coasts are recorded numerous times to be ethnic Han Chinese. Rice DNA destroys Korean migration theory with Kyushu rice DNA matching those of Yangtze, China. The Korean peninsula is a mountainous terrain which isn't ideal for growing crops or rice. The technology of rice irrigation itself came from Yangtze river which further cements the theory of Japanese-China origins. This is based on DNA sampling of rice in Japan that is traced back to China. The earliest female ruler of Wa (Japan) Queen Himiko met official envoys from China and spoke nothing of Korea or Koreans. Japanese people existed before the Yamato clans. Japanese carry far greater Ydna (O3) than Koreans even though Koreans carry a large amount as well due to Han Chinese. Haploid 2b are given South Korean through Japanese excursions, diplomatic marriages, frequent raids from Xiongnu, Xiangbein (Mongolic) and Jurchen (Manchu) raids upon Korean territories. This is why North Koreans have almost no 2b. Koreans lacked naval abilities, navigation and sea warfare, therefore none of the Korean states dared to live close to the shores and Silla was almost completely destroyed by frequent raids from Japan. Han Chinese commandaries existed everywhere on the peninsula and even the modern day capital Seoul (City of Han) named after the Han Chinese as well as it's flag designed by a Chinese official based on Yin Yang, Bagua, I-Ching and Taoist philosophy. Koreans are closely related to the Evenki. They also share the same practice of worshipping Totem poles which doesn't exist in Japan. Phenotype wise, Koreans have extremely thin small eyes, straight hair, big bodies, wide jaw, flat face, high cheekbones while Japanese have almond to big eyes, more refined hair, longer face, slender body, dental protusion/misalignment, bowed legs. The 2 couldn't be more different. While there are some Japanese that may look Korean, one could argue the same with some Koreans looking Chinese. There's also the migration of Zainichi Koreans after the war who accounts for Korean genes detected in the Japanese populace. 2) Archeology/Artifacts - Jared Diamond argued that Japan had historical relics similiar to that of Korea which led to his absurd conclusion Japanese thus originated from Korea. This couldn't be further from the truth. In a Korean documentary, Jared refers to the bronze mirror called Shinjū-kyō (神獣鏡, "deity and beast mirror") which is an ancient round bronze mirror decorated with images of gods and animals from Chinese mythology. The shinjū-kyō style of bronze mirror originated from the Chinese magic mirrors and was frequently produced during the Han dynasty, Three Kingdoms, and Six Dynasties (1st–6th centuries CE). Therefore we can deduce that Koreans also copied this from the Chinese, and Japanese could be from China or learnt the techniques directly from China. 3) Linguistics - Koreans often claim Korean and Japanese are in the same Altaic category of languages. However this is a huge fallacy. Japanese language is uniquely Japonic and Korean is a Tungus/Altaic language similiar to Evenki. Koreans would argue from the point of Korean and Japanese sharing a similar grammar. English and Chinese also share the same grammar, it doesn't make them the same. The Altaic hypothesis has also been debunked by historical linguists Alexander Vovin and Toh Soo Hee. Other than grammar, the 2 languages are not related due to a lack of cognates other than loanwords (Onyomi, Kanji + Hanja pronunciation) which are both borrowed from the Chinese language. Infact the Korean language is strongly influenced by Dravidian languages like Tamil besides Chinese. Hundreds of words, basic Nouns and pronouns like Appa (father) and Ama (mother) are exactly the same in Korean and Tamil. This is completely different from Japanese. A Korean King Suro of Gaya also married an Indian woman, Heo Hwang-ok, also known as Suriratna. The Indian connection can't be understated. 4) Education - Education or to be precise, the complete lack of it is another factor as to why Koreans believe their nonsensical claims of Japanese DNA. Koreans suffer from a huge inferiority complex towards the Japanese having been subjugated by Japan as a colony for decades. Hence, post war education was full of false anti Japanese propaganda. The Korean government took a page from Imperial Japan and promoted the propaganda of a superior, pure Korean blood and race. By claiming to be the progenitors of Japanese, they can offset the shame of being a defeated, colonized people. The propaganda was taught in middle school up till the 90s then through word of mouth by parents and the elderly. Korean education system also deliberately omit many Sino/Chinese influences on Korean civilization and culture along with banning Hanja (Chinese characters). This has spawned generations of Koreans claiming various Chinese history, cultures, inventions and arts. Again this stems from the inferiority complex of being a vassal state of China for centuries.

  14. Nothing wrong with what he said.

  15. This is true.

  16.  @tonywang4032  I think the feeling is mutual with Koreans and Japanese towards Chinese.

  17.  @MrDreamsnail  Nice description of Korea and Korean society 😂

  18.  @지수연-w6u  Koreans went through a period of freedom from the Qing Dynasty being liberated by the Japanese. You should be kneeling down and thanking Japan or your country would still be part of China lol

  19.  @sunwooyang9949  he's not wrong, and even K-Pop is plagiarized from US pop music. Everything in Korea is a copy or fake imitation.

  20.  @yoyaserdx  South Korea is ranked 3rd most hated country in Japan after North Korea and China.

  21.  @leverkusen8373  Japan bedding company Akemi once released Japanese, Chinese and Korean couple pillow sets. Only the Korean couple were drawn with small eyes, which made Koreans furious 😂

  22. yes, Koreans often fabricate history.

  23. Not true.

  24.  @raistlin906  There's nothing interesting or original about Korea. And there's no Korean movie genre that hasn't already been done in Hollywood.
    6
  25.  @MK-vc5jb  Taught us how to write? I'm not Japanese lol. This is why Korea is hated around the world and dubbed "Thief nation". What you're describing is exactly cultural appropriation. Koreans invented nothing nor did they contribute anything significant to Asian civilization unlike China. Also Buddhism came from India. Only copy, claim and steal. Infact, Korea only has less than 80 years of history.

  26. Koreans did a good job selling out their own Queen Min to Japanese haha 👍

  27.  @leverkusen8373  I was highlighting how racist Koreans are. So thank you for proving my point lol. Btw, there's a saying in Japan "Thank God I was not born a Korean". It's a slogan I also live by ^^

  28.  @IwantItalyPizza  Oh no, the Japanese Parasyte has a completely different story from Parasite (Korean). Only the name is the same. Parastye is a sci-fi anime.

  29. It's pretty dumb. Not just the topic but the respondents

  30.  @yoyaserdx  Lol, I don't agree. I have personally met many Koreans IRL and they are even worse in person. Also, I have been scammed by Koreans numerous times. Never do business with a Korean.

  31.  @leverkusen8373  I have replied to your copy and paste comment before about your infatuation with Japanese women. Who cares if they like Korean men? Anyway, only the unattractive ones will date Korean guys haha. All the good looking ones marry their own kind. This is a statistical fact.

  32.  @yoyaserdx  where's your stats? you better list your sources before making false comments. The anti Korean sentiment in Japan mostly ranges from age 21-39.

  33. Is the feeling mutual?

  34.  @MrDreamsnail  I saw you and I can't unsee it https://youtu.be/kad8auZo9Ng?feature=shared

  35.  @yoyaserdx  Far more Koreans visit Japan than vice versa. 8.3 million in 2023 to be exact. Tbh, the favorability figures can't be represented as fact because the sample size is too small (usually less than 10,000). Just like this interview of Ohtani, with less than 10 people being interviewed.

  36. that's the dumbest thing I've read. chickens eat rice too. do you share similiar cultures with a chicken?

  37.  @IwantItalyPizza  which Japanese manga did it plagiarize from?

  38.  @MrDreamsnail  you should ask your dearest mother. It's her favourite dish 😊

  39.  @dsk-rk6ub  what do you constitute as normal. Japanese are not a monolith. Anti Korean Japanese are also Japanese. South Korea is the 3rd most unfavourable country by Japan after North Korea and China.

  40.  @JC-ie3gj  the Yamato clan existed when Silla and Baekje was around. and they can't speak Korean. This is the level of your intelligence.

  41.  @luvjinmia  Lol, it was reported on Japan's national news. I can't paste url links here. But it's easy to find on Google.

  42.  @leverkusen8373  Statistics show Korean women marry Chinese men the most out of all foreigners. It seems even Korean women hate Korean men LOL.

  43.  @dsk-rk6ub  by that logic it would mean the entire South Korea is racist ^^

  44.  @yoyaserdx  your previous statement made it seem as if all young Japanese liked S.Korea which is certainly untrue. Again, you state "more" young ones liked Korea than not. Where's the exact figures? Where's the link? Being ambiguous weakens your claims. And it also doesn't negate the young Japanese populous that do hate S.Korea.

  45.  @jungking4033  In Japan, if someone does a crime the person is often labelled as Zainichi Korean or Chinese.

  46. Uh, Japan liberated Koreans from 800 years of Chinese rule and servitude. You should be thanking them otherwise you guys would still under China lol
