A Disturbed Blame Game
Emotional instability, losing control of impulsive behavior, human relationships that swing from love to hate or lack of self-awareness are all part of what psychology calls a borderline personality disorder.
They are talking about themselves.
Well everything is Japan's fault anyway.

I heard a dearest Kim's son, currently studying in Switzerland, is a big fan of Eric Clapton. He must be ok even if he sang Anarchy in the DPRK.

I know the guys are just extremists. Few Korean posters here, but I'd like to ask Koreans what you think of them? Do you think anything is ok if someone believe it is for your country?

Chongryun HQ Sold to ex-Intelligence Head
Chongryun has sold its head office in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, to an investment advisory firm headed by a former chief of the Public Security Intelligence Agency, which keeps tabs on the pro-Pyongyang group, according to the public property register.
It is a very serious case that Japanese intelligence was that "friendly" with the organization that was/is a major part of the abduction operations.

in most cases, lands were confiscated because these "collaborators" themselves were given the land by the Japanese (for collabrating with them of course), who in turn took away the lands of the poor back in the 1920s.

So they are basically trying to give back all the land that Japan confiscated or cheated away from the koreans.

Given the amount of land and the lack of documentation, the process still takes place today.

Your post-war founding fathers, the ruling elites, were not only dictators, but also contributors to your economy, therefore, it was nearly impossible to criticise them for more than 60 years.
Just count how many your post-war leaders were arrested and pardoned even after the democratisation. Wake up, if you are living in the US. The witch hunt have just started recently, not "still".

I bet another witch hunt will start 60 years after North-South unificaiton after furious ex-North Koreans find the truth, the ex-South Korean govenment seized reparation from Japan incl. North Korean share in 20th century.
And I also bet all Koreans will angrily state it is all Japan's fault because Japan had not told the North that the South took all the money.

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT FROM A PERSON-TO-PERSON BASIS, JAPANESE AND KOREANS GET ALONG FINE THESE DAYS!!!
sorry, just had to throw that out there, cuz on the first few posts, it was all abt person-to-person relations. what i really wanted to know was about s. korean and japanese governments' relations.

i'm neither japanese nor korean, but i do have one comment- if japan becomes a strong military power (that is, it reaches its potential), korea (and china) won't be so happy. for some reason, korea + china are kind of friends.

this may be a stereotype, but from ALL the korean kids i've met, i have learned that their favorite topic is bragging about how other koreans they've met or just their country in general. i've also heard not to believe most of what korean people say. but don't get me wrong, this isn't only my opinion, but a lot of people share the same thoughts as me. and don't get me wrong (again), my best friend is korean- and yes, she is unbearable when it comes to talking abt how she knows this korean dude who is mad smart (the only one who did ap bio as a sophomore, etc) and this genius who's korean, and how technologically advanced korea is, etc, she's still my best friend. everyone has flaws.
 
Ch'ongryŏn

So they are basically trying to give back all the land that Japan confiscated or cheated away from the koreans.
Some background for people who feel/are clueless; below is not detailed or perfectly accurate, still giving basic ideas on the fiasco:

窶「 First, North Korean nationals living in Japan established banks and trust companies to serve their ethnic nitch market.

窶「 Those banks generously loaned money to the fellow individuals and businesses, without securing encumbrance assets or correct value assessment.
Those financial institutes kept refusing audits, claiming that such actions were racial discrimination.

窶「 As a result, most of money went uncollectible, and almost all of them became about to bankrupt during 1990's.
Japanese government gave away total 140 billion yen, in order to rescue them to avoid chaos. It is still unclear if politicians were/are bribed/threatened/both.
After injecting huge amount of Japanese taxpayers' money, a collection agency called Resolution and Collection Corporation (RCC,) was appointed for the rest of dunning.

窶「 Investigations revealed that many borrowers were dummies or nonexistent, and money was illicitly sent to Kim Jong-il.
RCC sued the major borrower Chongryon for 62.7 billion yen payment, or seazure of land with 10-story HQ building they own in the middle of Tokyo.

窶「 Chongryon kept making excuses "sinful Japan has no right to take our quasi-embassy, we are first of all victims" (convinient amnesia about what really happened, mentioned in a past post.)

窶「 Just one week before the judgement, a major scandal leaked out: the HQ building&land had been sold for 3.5 billion yen to Harvest, a bogus investment advisory firm, and the president Shigetake Ogata was the Public Security Intelligence Agency director-general during 1990's.
Ownership was transferred on paper, without any payment. Media reported that Chongryon had promised him to pay 15 million yen annual rent in addition to 10 million yen reward, then buy back the land&building in 5 years.

窶「 Furthermore, it turned out an intermediator between him and Chongryon was a former Federation of Bar Associations president, Koen Tsuchiya. Prosecutors raided both individuals' home&office.

窶「 Japanese public, knowing Chongryon as a major part of abductions, interpreted that it was an attempt to escape from seizure using prestigeous people, claiming "it's no longer ours, too bad."
People started feeling more suspicious, as the former counterintelligence chief kept talking at press conferences as if he is a Chongryon's mouthpiece.

窶「 On Monday, Jun 18th morning, Ogata&Tsuchiya filed paper to transfer the ownership back to Chongryon "because investors started to hesitate."
In the afternoon, Tokyo district court ordered Chongryon to pay 63 billion yen.


Now,

"Chongryon Paid 400 Million Yen" to Mediator in Land Deal There seems to be another mediator besides Tsuchiya: former president of Harvest (name unknown yet.)

Ogata Given 100 mil. Yen in Chongryon Land Deal
Ogata at first told prosecutors he had not known that the former president received money from Chongryon, but he later changed his statement and admitted receiving 100 million yen from the former president.
One digit more than what he said before.
 

i really dont know what you are talking about. They have jailed the ex-presidents (although they were pardoned by the last president), and although the system has never been perfect, never will, and loads of people have dirty money involved, they will take back the money and give it back to the rightful owners.

The truth is, Japan invaded Korea, and "stole" the properties of innocent people, (just as any other western countries did to their colonies). But that does not justify the wrong doings of Japanese government, and Korean people will attempt to rescind the wrong doings even if it takes 1000 years.

Perhaps, if japan admitted all its wrong doings like Germany has done, koreans will be more forgiving. As long as Japanese government denies their wrong doings on the face of the peopel people who were rape victims and casualties of government atrocities, be expected be disliked by koreans, philippinos and chinese.
 
What sort of Ig Nobel Prize did Korean media pursuit when a rumour went around, PRC would appologize what they did in the Korean war, when Korea and China reached diplomatic relations?
Wondering when your government will start your favorite "appology and reparation" game in terms of the Korean war. And what about the Vietnam war? Show me what is a good Confucius example how to deal with the post-war appology.

There are tons of disputes between Japan and China, but only argument, where both parties mutually agree, may be that we are not that history loving people like you saying "Korean people will attempt to rescind the wrong doings even if it takes 1000 years".
At least, I am glad to announce the current Korean president should deserve super pipo Nobel Prize who officially brought up a historical topic, not a 1000 year old one, but 2000 year old topic in the talk with the Chinese premier, Mr Wen.

1)it does not mean a word "promise" should be certainly implemented
2) there exsist only one historical recognition in them
*if I express the other historical recognition, they would be Hwa-Byung.

3)To obtain an advantage, They do not choose the means.


The Japanese must understand it firmly and associate with them.
 

Prof. Go just wrote books, and she did not commit any crimes in Japan.
You are not arrested even after you sue the government here, even if you are Japanese or non-Japanese.

When children of the Japanese far-left terrorists, who are living in the DPRK, came back to Japan, they harshly criticised Japan and asked Japanese for help to let their parents come home without criminal charges.
The kids, of course, entered Japan without any problems, for it is their parents who dreamed the utopia after highjacking a plane.
