This issue of the past is still hot today. No excuse.

Oh yes, some of my older relatives still remember the Japanese Colonial era and I do have several relatives who got killed in Japan and Korea because of the Imperial Japanese government.

Until Japan officially apologize in a serious manner and stop doing offensive stuffs that could nullify the previous "apologies" for the past few decades...
