@bad.korean.teacher: more foreigners need to know: Korea and Japan’s complicated history. In general, Korea wants to move on too but its difficult with Japanese politicians playing games (as with any politician in any country) but we love Japanese people and culture (for most rational people) #korea #japan #koreanculture

Sinobaby :

And why did you omit China and Taiwan? Hmm?

Ivory 🐦‍🔥 :

No one can understand unless they have grandparents who actually lived it. This is the exact setting of black Americans in America. It will take a while for change but S. Korea can do it

Aysei Jayel :

You may find that Black Americans understand this complicated emotion and feeling. We have a very complicated feeling about our relationship with our identity and nationality.

Miri :

My father grew up in Japanese occupied Korea. We both went to Japan in 2011. He loved the culture and people, not the government.

KoreLifestyle :

This was such a great post. You managed to truly capture the nuance I have a hard time explaining to my non-Korean friends. Thank you for this! 🫶🏻🇰🇷

Van101 :

luv hate relationship

Elizabeth Pasillas :

Sounds like what the US is doing trying to erase our dark past in schools. 💙

Tooti Gurl :

That was a sad history. There are good people everywhere. My country has and is doing dumb shit...but our people are good

Sae 💗🪐 :

It’s always “move on” when it comes to tragedies against poc..

Kytana :

April :

That sounds like slavery in America

⊙⊝⊜Mandarin⁷ :

I appreciate this kind of content so much. I feel less guilty on tt cuz I’m actually learning something

Tooti Gurl :

We understand

Mzteriaki :

Well tell Japan to stop trying to take down the statues commemorating the comfort woman and children they used. Y r they so hell bent on erasing their atrocities and tell Japan to give back Korean artifacts that they looted during the colonization.

Sinobaby :

Japan's colonization of Korea has nothing to do with Kyopos 🤣🤣

Sinobaby :

Cringe fest.

I am trying not to be rude, but I also want to say that not long ago, I experienced (again) that some Korean people and/or those who are obsessed with Korea can be quite disrespectful, and they only write comments to start arguments and pour their anger and hate onto others. I am not claiming that only they act like this, but I personally have experienced this from them. They really should change. The disrespect and anger they show towards others is so scary and harmful.
