I totally agree with you their.

Nothing like playing mediator

I think the "hate" thing tends to lean more towards one's personal experiences within each culture.

It also hints at being a jealousy thing about who is copying who, fashion, food, which culture was first, etc.

Like I originally said, I think the wartime past plays a role mainly in the older generations between Japan and Korea.

I'm guessing many users are younger than I at 41 on this forum so all opinions would differ somewhat, even more so because Korea has experienced a huge change in the culture and the goverment is trying to push the wartime history away.

I can certainly understand the misunderstandings and facts behind Korean and Japanese people, I just wish it wasn't their.
