Abe's Death, and Korea's Japanophobia
South Korea's anti-Japanese sentiment is well-known. The country's rightwing argues that the left is to blame for the hatred. Are they right?

I found this article interesting, since it brought Korea’s Japanophobia to light. I always knew that Korea and Japan had a rough past, but I never realized that Koreans would actually go to the lengths of “celebrating” Abe’s death, even with the rocky history between the two countries.
Yes, Japan and Korea were rivals in the past, but in the end, we are all humans. Even if Abe was a Japanese person, his death shouldn’t be celebrated.
I feel that both Korea and Japan should set aside the past and finally be at peace. After all, we’re all human beings who deserve equal rights to life and liberty, despite our ethnicity.
