Written on May 18, 2019, this article criticizes the anti-Japan education and totalitarian cast of mind deeply embedded in South Korean society, while questioning the fundamental distortions in perceptions of Japan-Korea relations through the historical facts of modernization, women’s liberation, and the development of education and infrastructure under Japanese rule in Korea.

That is because they had become Japanese nationals…They…did not want ever again to return to a Korea with a status system equivalent to slavery, where they would not even possess names.

The chapter I published on 2018-12-30 under the title, “Korea, you will probably never realize that your national character is the lowest vulgarity in the world so long as you continue anti-Japan education,” entered the real-time best ten last night.
A friend happened to buy the Mainichi Shimbun and sent me the following article.
“The Mainichi Shimbun is a strange newspaper too. Long ago, its management crisis was always being reported, yet it has not collapsed…Where does it get its funds?”
“Probably from printing the Komei Shimbun.”
“Ah, I see, and perhaps also from printing some other kind of reliable flyers and the like…”
Such was the conversation.
It was later reported that it had received large amounts of advertising from China.
Now then, the report from a Korean newspaper carried in today’s Mainichi Shimbun also proved that they are citizens of a land of bottomless evil and plausible lies.
At the same time, it is an article that also proves, as one of their characteristics, that they possess a mental structure that assumes the other side must think the same way they do.
They are also proving that merely having the form of elections does not make a country a democracy.
This country is not a democracy at all, and proofs that it is a totalitarian state overflow everywhere.
No, it is a newspaper article proving that it is an “ancient despotic state,” which is the conclusion of Professor Furuta Hiroshi, the greatest expert on the Korean Peninsula in the world and one of the foremost scholars of our age.
Most Japanese who read this article will probably think that Korea is a country so appalling one is left speechless.
At the same time, they will also notice that the tone with which they attack the Abe administration…
and the tone with which the Asahi Shimbun and opposition political operators such as Kiyomi Tsujimoto attack the Abe administration…
are exactly the same.
Korean newspapers on the illumination video: “Mired deeper.”
Some analysis says, “The Abe administration is using it.”
“Seoul Kyodo.” On the issue of a South Korean naval destroyer illuminating a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force P1 patrol aircraft with fire-control radar, South Korean newspapers on the 29th, while conveying the South Korean Defense Ministry’s opposition to the Japanese Defense Ministry’s release of video, reported “Japan-South Korea relations mired deeper” and “expanded into an emotional confrontation.”
Regarding Japan’s response, there is also analysis saying that “perhaps the Abe administration is using the issue in order to recover its approval rating.”
Korea, the Japanese are not totalitarians raised for seventy postwar years under the Nazism called anti-Japan education that Syngman Rhee began in order to justify his own administration…
Not only that…
During the thirty-six years when Japan annexed Korea, Japan for the first time…liberated women who did not even possess surnames and were for the most part the property of the yangban…
built schools throughout your country, which had long been one of the poorest nations in the world under one of the worst caste-discrimination systems on earth, and established for the first time compulsory education in your country…
throughout your country…
rapidly developed infrastructure such as railways, ports, and dams…
and it was the Japanese people who turned you into a modern nation.
Japan…
during those thirty-six years when it treated you as a nation equal to Japan…
invested more than twenty percent of Japan’s national budget every year…for your sake…
and transformed you at once into a modern nation…and made you prosperous…
The proof of that is that during those thirty-six years the population of your country increased explosively…
because it had become a free modern nation without a caste-discrimination system and had grown prosperous.
That is the historical truth known by your grandfathers and grandmothers.
A country that alters that historical truth…and goes on forcing lies upon its people…
that is the empire of evil…and Korea…it is your country.
That is why, the moment Japan annexed you, you…especially the women…hurried to adopt Japanese names…
because they had become Japanese nationals…
They…
did not want ever again to return to a Korea with a status system equivalent to slavery, where they would not even possess names.
It is only natural that they, having suddenly and all at once been liberated from the chronic condition in which they had been placed since recorded history, eagerly tried to adopt Japanese names.
Even now, the fact that there is no end to Koreans abroad calling themselves Japanese…
I am convinced that it is because they instinctively know such history.
Before annexation, you…could receive from the world only the treatment of a second-rate or third-rate nation, and when boarding trains in advanced countries, you were never given first-class seats.
In Asia at that time…among the advanced nations…it was only the Japanese who, as first-class nationals, could ride in first-class seats.
That is why it was only natural that you eagerly tried to take Japanese names…
or rather, because in 1910 you suddenly became Japanese nationals with exceptionally favorable status…it was only natural that you would take Japanese names.
And that…
this alone did not change…except for the thirty-six years when Japan annexed you…
although it may be because since recorded history you had been a vassal state of a land of bottomless evil and plausible lies…
speaking from my own few actual experiences of friendship…
Koreans…
the Chinese are not people gripped by an abnormally intense anti-Japan sentiment as you are…
Rather, they deny the state itself…
They are a people who, in the depths of their hearts, think that rulers are liars, and that only people from the same hometown and the same clan can be trusted.
Most of them…
unlike you Koreans, who are Nazis living in the twenty-first century, raised and formed by anti-Japan education…
The sight of gathering middle and high school girls in front of the Japanese embassy and making them shout anti-Japan slogans…
far from conveying what you think it does…
conveys to the world the abnormality of your country, that your country is a nation of Nazism…
and you do not even realize that.
You are, in truth, blind Nazis.
They merely wear the hat called communism…that is what almost all Chinese think.
That the Korean Peninsula has, since recorded history, been a vassal state of China is a crystal-clear fact.
“Bottomless evil” and “plausible lies,” as a result of seventy postwar years of anti-Japan education that still continues now…
govern your minds even more than they govern China, the original source…
and the day when you realize this…
if things continue as they are, will surely never come.
I leave the translation of the Korean newspaper passages to the readers, because translating them alone makes me feel as if my hands would rot.
If you use Google Translate in the order Japanese → English → Korean, the general meaning will come across even as it is.
(However, what must be watched for in Korean is that facts inconvenient to them may be translated into their exact opposite.)
South Korea denies illuminating the aircraft with fire-control radar.
The Dong-A Ilbo pointed out that, following the intensified conflict over the wartime comfort women issue and the South Korean Supreme Court ruling on the former conscripted labor lawsuits, “concern is growing that Japan-South Korea relations have fallen into a quagmire.”
It analyzed that behind the hardline measure of releasing the video, “accumulated dissatisfaction” over issues such as the comfort women problem had been reflected.
The JoongAng Ilbo relayed the remarks of a military official saying that the reason the destroyer did not respond to radio calls from the P1 patrol aircraft was that “communication conditions were poor, and on top of that the Japanese side’s English pronunciation was bad.”
At this point, one would probably feel nothing but the utmost contempt, beyond even anger…that Korea is the sort of country whose newspapers report such things about that splendid English pronunciation…
The Asahi Shimbun and NHK have never informed the Japanese people of this at all until now…
All Japanese citizens will surely feel equal anger toward them as well.
Korea, you will probably never realize that your national character is the lowest vulgarity in the world…
so long as you continue anti-Japan education forever.
However, reporting that fanned the confrontation was limited to only part of the press, and among the other major newspapers there was a noticeable restrained tone reporting only the facts.
Meanwhile, Yonhap News on the 29th, quoting Japanese media reports that “the release of the video was ordered by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,” criticized it as “a characteristic petty trick of the Abe administration, which appears to be intended to rally the conservative base and use diplomacy for domestic politics.”
