I have read your other comments regarding Korea-Japan (or even the US) on this board, and amazingly enough, they seem fairly balanced, rational and have at least a semblance of intellect...a task which to most normal people would be fairly easy but pretty much impossible for most Koreans/Kyopos. Please forgive me for playing devil's advocate as I have seen one too many instances of Koreans on the internet disguising themselves as another nationality in order to give their relentless spewing of jealousy-fed bigotry against Japan more credit. However, I guess I wouldn't blame them for taking such an under-handed approach since to admit one's Korean ethnicity in any discussion regarding Japan basically undermines one's fair and objective-thinking credibility all together.
