Here in SK right now (yes it's 4:30am), everyone's against it but no one knows the data. Once people see the data they're like "oh".

South Korea has an inherent hatred for Japan, so this isn't surprising at all.

The Japanese did some pretty radical things during the occupation. It's interesting to see the ripple effects of these policies so far into the future.

Japan also never apologised and pretends they did nothing wrong.

It's more like a wound that never healed than just ripples - early South Korean leaders were people who had formerly collaborated with the Japanese, and it showed in the way they treated their people. It's only relatively recently that South Korea became what anyone would call a liberal democracy.
