One of my friends (who's also Japanese Canadian) had to travel to Korea and apologize on behalf of Japan (for their WW2 atrocities) to his fiancee's grandparents before they allowed him to marry their granddaughter. How ridiculous is that?!

Strangely enough, I know many Japanese girls who married a Korean and their families have no problem with that.
I'm sure you are already aware of this, but some might not be.

Asian cultures a based heavily around ancestry. So much so that much later generation can be blamed for what their ancestors did. It is not at all uncommon for a family line never to succeed cause of the families bloodline being tainted by some unspeakable act.

I'm not quite sure if the ancestry if followed much more closely through males or females, or if it just happen to not really matter too much to that Korean family that the female wed into.
