i'm Korean, and in my experience, there is some (substantial perhaps) anti-Japanese feelings (mostly older generation, i think) in Korea, but also lots of otaku who love everything about Japan, and don't care about past history. Also i think a lot of Koreans think that Japan is cool because of their technology like shinkansen.
Are many Japanese aware that there are some anti-Japanese feelings among Koreans?
Also I wonder what the Japanese are taught regarding the colonization of Korea? do they think it was good, bad, both, or don't care?
Also, in my experience vast majority of Westerners seem to be 100x more interested in Japan and China, esp. Japan, than in Korea and think that Korea is extremely uninteresting country and think that "there's nothing there." I was wondering if many people of Japan thought similarly?
sorry if these topics are taboo, i feel bad bringing it up but i've been curious for long time.
btw i've been living in America for a long time n i think that Americans think British are cool: their accent, technologically advanced, their currency is worth more.
