The two [[nation]]s have a complex history of cultural exchange, trade, and war, underlying their relations today. In ancient times, cultural exchanges of ideas between Japan and Korea were common through Koreans immigrating to Japan<ref>Association for Asian Research. [http://www.asianresearch.org/articles/2350.html The Japanese Roots (Part III)]</ref> or via Japanese trade and diplomacy with Korea. However, the subsequent Japanese aggression, such as the [[Japanese invasions of Korea]] (1592–1598), and [[Korea under Japanese rule|the 1910–1945 annexation]] of Korea, have scarred the relations of both countries ever since. Today, Japan and South Korea are major trading partners with many students, tourists, entertainers, and business people traveling between the two countries. Conversely, North Korea has few political or economic relations with Japan. ==Korea under Japanese rule== {{main|Korea under Japanese rule}} With the [[Treaty of Ganghwa]] in 1875, Japan started to be involved in Korean politics. By 1895, the Japanese assassinated [[Empress Myeongseong of Korea]] under [[Miura Goro]]'s directive (Kim ''et al.'' 1976),<ref>[http://www.kimsoft.com/2002/jp-rape.htm Rape and Murder of Empress Myeongseong]</ref> which later culminated in the [[Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty]] in 1910 (which some argue as [[Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty|void and illegal]] since the treaty was not signed by the Korean Emperor but by a Japanese [[puppet state|puppet government]]). [http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Japan-Korea_Annexation_Treaty] Following their independence from [[Imperial Japan]], both North and South Korea have demanded official apologies for what they view as a harsh and unjustified [[Korea under Japanese rule|occupation]] of the [[Korean Peninsula]]. Although some liberal Japanese cabinet members have since made apologies, many Koreans view them as merely paying insincere lip service, since subsequent Japanese Prime Ministers and members of the [[Japanese Diet]] including the Japanese Ambassador to Seoul [http://www.hani.co.kr/section-001065000/2005/03/001065000200503071711304.html] have made statements either whitewashing or justifying outright the Japanese occupation. Proponents of [[Japanese nationalism]] and [[Japanese imperialism]] as well as scholars, such as Professor [[Carter Eckert]] at Harvard University and Professor Yi (李榮薰) at Seoul National University, have made attempts at justifying the colonial era by citing industrial advances made during that time. Much of this argument has been [[Korea under Japanese rule#Modern Interpretations and Arguments|discredited in recent years]], [http://hdr.undp.org/docs/publications/ocational_papers/oc24aa.htm] as overall development of the Korean Peninsula did not start until after the end of the [[Korean War]] (1950–1953). Japanese control of Korea ended in 1945 with Japan's surrender on the [[USS Missouri (BB-63)|USS ''Missouri'']]. Many Koreans suffered under Japanese rule. ==Yasukuni Shrine== {{main|Yasukuni Shrine}} ===National relations=== [[Yasukuni Shrine]] is a [[Shinto shrine]] which memorializes Japanese armed forces members killed in wartime. It was constructed as a memorial during the [[Meiji era]]. The Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal convicted 148 Koreans of Class B and C war crimes, 23 of whom were sentenced to death. Yasukuni shrine serves, among other functions, as memorial for 23 executed Koreans B and C war criminals and 14 Japanese A-class war criminals. As such, it has been the subject of continued controversy. [[Nakasone Yasuhiro]] discontinued visits to [[Yasukuni shrine]] in [[1986]]. However, Former Japanese [[Prime Minister]] [[Junichiro Koizumi]] resumed visits to [[Yasukuni Shrine]], starting on [[August 13]], [[2001]]. He visited the shrine six times as Prime Minister, stating that he was "paying homage to the servicemen who died for defense of Japan."<ref>Official interview of Koizumi Junichiro in [[August 15]], [[2006]] [http://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/koizumispeech/2006/08/15interview.html]</ref> These visits drew strong condemnation and protests from Japan's neighbors, mainly [[People's Republic of China|China]].<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/2001/08/14/seoul_ed3__0.php "Koizumi Move Sparks Anger In China and South Korea"] International Herald Tribune: [[August 14]], [[2001]].</ref> As a result, China and South Korea refused to meet with Koizumi, and there were no mutual visits between Chinese and Japanese leaders after October 2001 and between South Korean and Japanese leaders after June 2005. [[President of South Korea]] [[Roh Moo-hyun]] has suspended all summit talks between South Korea and Japan.<ref>[http://www.voanews.com/Korean/archive/2006-03/2006-03-17-voa12.cfm 노무현 대통령, “고이즈미 일본총리가 신사참배 중단하지 않으면 정상회담도 없을 것” (영문기사 첨부)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ==Comfort Women== {{main|Comfort women}} {{Unreferenced|date=September 2007}} Many in Korea have been demanding compensation for comfort women who worked in military [[brothel]]s during the [[World War II]] for Japanese soldiers. As the few surviving comfort women continue to struggle for acknowledgment and an apology, the Japanese court system has rejected such claims due to the length of time and claiming that there is no evidence. So far, the Japanese government has refused to fully apologize and has taken a minor action to settle the problem. They arranged a small private organization that gives small amounts of money to the victims. Today, many of the surviving comfort women are in their 70s and 80s. Many suspect that the Japanese government is waiting and hoping for these witnesses to die in which case there will be no more evidence and memories will start to fall apart, allowing people to forget about this event. On the other hand, the European Parliament has recently adopted a resolution that demands the Japanese government to apologize to the former comfort women. This resolution was passed with 54 ayes out of 57 parliament members present. This is the fourth time a foreign country has demanded an official apology from Japan to Korea, following ones from U.S, Canada, and Netherlands. The Japanese government, however, has refused to do this so far. <ref>http://www.korea.net/News/issues/issueDetailView.asp?board_no=18677&menu_code=A</ref><ref>http://www.religioustolerance.org/sla_japa.htm</ref> ==History Textbooks== {{main|Japanese history textbook controversies}} The [[Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Japan)|Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology]] (MEXT) reviews and approves the content of school history textbooks available for selection by Japanese schools. Foreign scholars, as well as many Japanese historians, {{Who|date=March 2008}} have criticized the political slant and factual errors of some textbooks that have been approved. After the [[Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform|Tsukurukai's]] textbook passed inspection in April 2001, South Korea demanded to no avail, the revision of 25 passages in the textbook. Korea's demand aroused resentment among those who felt that Korea was interfering in Japanese domestic affairs. So far, Tsukurukai's textbook has been adopted by less than 0.1% of the schools, but has become a bestseller in the general book market, and has caused the viewpoint of textbooks to shift to the right such as, omitting reference to [[Comfort women]].<ref>YaleGlobal Online. [http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/display.article?id=5552 Asia Battles over War History]</ref> However, it should be noted that there are many Japanese teacher unions that are against the textbook. In contrast, in both South and North Korea, only one series of history textbooks published by the government is allowed for use in schools. Some conservative Japanese scholars claim that Korean textbooks have a bias in criticizing Japan and the Japanese occupation of Korea [http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4094023763] [http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4796646701] [http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4872576004], but there has been no massive protest against Korean textbooks in Japan to this day. ==Compensation== {{main|Treaty on Basic Relations between South Korea and Japan}} Twenty years after the end of [[World War II]], South Korea and Japan re-established diplomatic relations with the 1965 signing of the [[Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea|Treaty on Basic Relations]]. In 2005, South Korea disclosed diplomatic documents that detailed the proceedings of the treaty. Kept secret for 40 years, the documents revealed that Japan provided 500 million dollars in soft loans and 300 million in grants to South Korea as compensation for its 1910-45 occupation, and that South Korea agreed to demand no more compensations after the treaty, either at the government to government level or individual to government level.<ref>The Washington Times. [http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20050117-025138-3813r.htm S. Korea discloses sensitive documents]</ref> It was also revealed that the South Korean government assumed the responsibility for compensating individuals on a lump sum basis<ref name=comp>The Chosun Ilbo.

[http://japanese.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2004/09/17/20040917000026.html 「韓国政府、韓日会談で個別請求権放棄」]</ref> However, the South Korean government used most of the loans for economic development and have failed to provide adequate compensation to victims, paying only 300,000 won per death, with only a total of 2,570 million [[won]] to the relatives of 8,552 victims who died in forced labor.<ref name=comp/><ref>The Chosun Ilbo. [http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200501/200501170044.html Seoul Demanded $364 Million for Japan's Victims]</ref> As the result, the Korean victims are preparing to file a compensation suit against the South Korean government as of 2005. The treaty does not preclude individual suits against Japanese individuals or corporations but such suits are often constrained by the statute of limitation. The Women's International War Crimes Tribunal 2000 on Japan Military Sexual Slavery, a [[mock trial]] organised by NGOs, issued a ruling that "states cannot agree by treaty to waive the liability of another state for crimes against humanity."<ref>VAWW-NET Japan. [http://www1.jca.apc.org/vaww-net-japan/english/womenstribunal2000/whatstribunal.html The Women's International War Crimes Tribunal]</ref> ==Apology== {{main|List of war apology statements issued by Japan}} Several Japanese Prime Ministers have issued several official apologies, including [[Keizo Obuchi|Prime Minister Obuchi]] in the [[Japan-Republic of Korea Joint Declaration of 1998]], and Prime Minister [[Junichiro Koizumi]] in the Japan-DPRK Pyongyang Declaration of 2002.<ref>The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. [http://www.mofa.go.jp/region/asia-paci/n_korea/pmv0209/pyongyang.html Japan-DPRK Pyongyang Declaration]</ref> Koizumi said, "I once again express my feelings of deep remorse and heartfelt apology, and also express the feelings of mourning for all victims, both at home and abroad, in the war."<ref>Prime Minister of Japan and His Cabinet. [http://www.kantei.go.jp/foreign/koizumispeech/2005/08/15danwa_e.html Statement by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi]</ref> While Koreans welcomed the apologies at the time, many Koreans now view the statements as insincere, because of the continuing actions of Japanese officials that contradict such statements of remorse. In one example, hundreds of Japanese politicians made a tributary visit to the Yasukuni Shrine to honour Japan's war dead while Prime Minister Koizumi was simultaneously issuing an apology. This was seen by South Koreans as a conflict between actions and words and has caused many South Koreans to distrust Japanese statements of apology. In addition, almost all politicians who have apologized at official international forums would later retract or contradict their apologies at home in Japan causing confusion internationally. Thus, most apologies are seen as vague statements of regret or sadness for a tragic past while failing to indicate specific details.{{Fact|date=August 2007}} ==Geographic disputes== ===Liancourt Rocks (Dokdo/Takeshima)=== {{main|Liancourt Rocks}} The Liancourt Rocks ([[Japanese language|Japanese]]: Takeshima ''"bamboo island"''; [[Korean language|Korean]]: Dokdo ''"solitary island"'') are a group of islets in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) whose ownership is disputed between Japan and South Korea. South Korea currently occupies the islands, an action that continues to draw official protests from Japan. There are valuable [[fishing]] grounds around the islets and potentially large reserves of [[natural gas]]. The Koreans claim that the islets are historically Korean with the earliest Korean records of it dating back to 512 under the [[Silla]] Kingdom. It is argued that as recently as 1900, Korea exercised sovereignty over the islands by incorporating Liancourt Rocks into Ulleung county. Japan claims the 1900 incorporation was over a different island that is now called [[Kwaneum-do]], an islet nest to Ulleung-do. in Korean. The Japanese's claim [[Silla]]'s record only indicate Ulleung Island about 200miles far away from Takeshima. Takeshima belongs to Hoki country from Edo era.[[image:491229 SF2.jpg|right|thumb|200px|United Nation GHQ agreement draft]]  However, the Koreans have rejected this claim by arguing that the Japanese claim over the islets was the first step towards Japan's eventual claim over the rest of Korea. Korea was then forced to become a Japanese protectorate in 1905 after King Kojong was forced to abdicate his throne. In Dec 1949 United Nation's GHQ decided Takashima belongs to Japan (see photo) In August 1951,South Korea requested US let Japan give up Dokto/Takeshima,but US secretary of states [[David Dean Rusk]] reserch the historical dispute and rejected South Korea's Request by Rusk Letter2P.[http://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/%E7%94%BB%E5%83%8F:Rusk1.jpg 1P] [http://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/%E7%94%BB%E5%83%8F:Rusk2.jpg 2P][http://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/%E7%94%BB%E5%83%8F:Rusk3 3P][http://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/%E7%94%BB%E5%83%8F:Rusk4.jpg 4P] In January 1952, South Korea's [[Syngman Rhee line]] declaration included Liancourt Rocks as Korean territory. Since September 1954, Japan has proposed adjudicating this problem in the [[International Court of Justice]] but South Korea has both refused to accept this proposal or to acknowledge the dispute, likely based on various grounds.<ref> "Why the Koreans will not got the ICJ over Liancourt Rocks, http://www.geocities.com/mlovmo/page10.html</ref> North Korea supports the South Korean claim. ===Tsushima (Daemado)=== {{main|Tsushima Island}} Historically Japanese-controlled, some highly nationalistic Koreans claim this island to be Korean, although the South Korean government does not make this claim. Called "Tsushima" in Japanese and "Daemado" in Korean, this island was briefly Korean-controlled during the [[Joseon Dynasty]], and possibly during the [[Silla]] era.<ref> Homer B. Hulbert, History of Korea Volume I, The Methodist Publishing House (1905)</ref> In 1948, South Korean government has formally demanded that the Island be ceded to South Korea based on "historical claims." However, the claim was rejected by SCAP in 1949. As of July 19, 1951, South Korean government had been agreeing that the demand of Tsushima had already been omitted.<ref>The [[Foreign Relations Series]] (FRUS) 1951 VolumeVI P1203. [http://www.geocities.jp/tanaka_kunitaka/takeshima/frus1951.gif Subject:Japanese Peace Treaty], Participants:Dr. Yu Chan Yang, Korean Ambassador and [[John Foster Dulles]] U.S. Ambassador</ref> In 2005, when Japan's [[Shimane Prefecture]] announced '''Takeshima Day''' claiming [[Liancourt Rocks]] as part of its jurisdiction, Korea's [[Masan (Korea)|Masan]] city council proclaimed '''Daemado Day''' and declared Tsushima Island Korean territory. In 2007, Japan proposed to South Korea to bring the matter to the International Justice Court, but the offer was rejected by the South Korean government. Tsushima remains a very important matter of diplomatic relationship between Japan and South Korea. {{Fact|date=July 2007}} ===Sea of Japan (East Sea)=== {{main|Sea of Japan naming dispute}} The name "Sea of Japan" is claimed to have been geographically and historically established in Europe from the late 18th century to the early 19th century and is currently used all over the world. However, both North and South Korean governments protest that Japan promoted the usage of the name "[[Sea of Japan]]" while Korea lost effective control over its foreign policy under Japanese imperial expansion. South Korea argues that the name "East Sea," which was one of the most common names found on ancient European maps of this sea, should be the official name instead of (or at least used concurrently with) "Sea of Japan." Japan claims that Western countries named it the "Sea of Japan" prior to 1860, before the growth of Japanese influence over Korean foreign policy after the outbreak of the [[First Sino-Japanese War]] in 1894. It was in 1928, when Limits of Oceans and Seas officially took the name Sea of Japan, which eventually influenced other official international documents such as the [[United Nations]]. South Korea claims that Korea was occupied by the Japanese and effectively had no international voice to protest in 1928. ==Miscellaneous issues== ===Boycotting of Japanese Products=== After the end of Japanese rule, Japanese cultural products such as [[music]], [[film]], and [[book]]s were banned in both North and South Korea. The boycott was gradually lifted in South Korea starting in 1998. Some Japanese cultural items, including but not limited to [[manga]], [[anime]] and [[music]], have been introduced into South Korea even while they were banned (the Korean public was not informed of their Japanese origin). While the younger generation of South Koreans, for the most part, have begun to accept Japanese culture, the older generation have not been so eager to do so. ===Return of Korean Remains=== During the Japanese period of Korea (notably during [[World War II]]), Japan mobilised hundreds of thousands of laborers from Korea to sustain industrial productions, mainly in mining. Most of them were eventually returned to Korea by the surviving navy vessels after the war, the rest had died in Japan.<ref>http://english.yna.co.kr/Engnews/20060605/480100000020060605105721E6.html</ref><ref>[http://www.nuclearfiles.org/menu/key-issues/nuclear-weapons/history/pre-cold-war/hiroshima-nagasaki/survivors/korean-atomic-bomb-survivors.htm Key Issues: Nuclear Weapons: History: Cold War: Survivors: Korean Atomic Bomb Survivors<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The South helped in finding the dead bodies of these kidnapped laborers for proper burials.<ref>[http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?ItemID=9703 ZNet |Japan | Mitsubishi, Historical Revisionism and Japanese Corporate Resistance to Chinese Forced Labor Redress<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Instead, the Japanese government passed the responsibilities of finding and identifying these bodies to the corporations that committed the kidnappings. Corporations, such as Mitsubishi, Mitsumi and others, stated that the culpability should fall on the governments and not on private companies. The situation prevented South Korea from properly coordinating their efforts and they have only identified a couple of hundred bodies rather than the larger amount they had hoped for. With neither the Japanese government nor the Japanese corporations actively seeking to find and identify the missing Korean remains, this issue is another reason for anti-Japanese enmity on the part of the Koreans. It is likely that this issue will also not be resolved in the near future. ===Kidnapping of Japanese Citizens=== {{main|North Korean abductions of Japanese}} A junior high school student from Niigata, [[Megumi Yokota]], was kidnapped in North Korea on November 15, 1977. In addition to her, many other Japanese citizens were kidnapped by North Korean agents. In 2002, North Korea admitted to kidnapping 13 Japanese citizens during the 1970s and 1980s, in order to train spies to infiltrate U.S. military installations in Japan.<ref>{{cite news | author = Chris Fortson | title = Expert speaks on 1980s Japanese kidnappings | url = http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=20393 | publisher = [[Yale Daily News]] | date = 2002-10-28 | accessdate = 2007-10-11 }}</ref> Five people have been released, but the North Korean government claimed that there were eight dead. Japan has pressed for the return of the bodies. However, the Japanese government believes that there are still kidnapped Japanese citizens being held captive in North Korea. North Korea's official statement is that the issue has been settled. Because of the overwhelming number of South Koreans also kidnapped by North Korea, there has been some joint efforts of South Korea and Japan in retrieving their citizens.<ref>{{cite news | author = Choe Sang-Hun | title = Abductions unite South Korea and Japan | url = http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/04/20/news/abduct.php | publisher = [[International Herald Tribune]] | date = 2006-04-21 | accessdate = 2007-10-11 }}</ref> ===Zainichi Koreans=== {{main|Zainichi Korean}} [[Zainichi Korean|Zainichi]] (在日, Resident Japan) refers to Koreans currently residing in Japan. Most of them are second-, third-, or fourth-generation Koreans who have not yet applied for Japanese citizenship. Some of them were either forced to relocate to or willingly immigrated to Japan during the [[Korea under Japanese rule|Japanese occupation of Korea]],{{Fact|date=February 2007}} while others entered Japan illegally in order to escape the [[Korean War]] that took place after the Japanese occupation. They lost their Japanese citizenship after the signing of the [[San Francisco Peace Treaty]], which officially ended the Japanese annexation of Korea and their country of origin, Korea, no longer existed when South Korea and North Korea became separate states. Zainichi communities are split based upon affiliation with North or South Korea, ([[Chongryon]] and [[Mindan]]). In order to escape discrimination, many Koreans living in Japan use Japanese names to hide their origin. It is claimed that two or three of the leaders of the smaller [[Bōryokudan|organized crime syndicates]] found on a list of more than twenty such groups as specified by the National Police Agency in Japan may be ethnic Koreans. [http://mic.e-osaka.ne.jp/boutsui/Measure/list.html] More positively speaking, [[Masayoshi Son]], Japan's richest businessman and chief of [[Softbank]], is of Zainichi background. ===Plagiarism of Japanese products=== In recent years certain aspects of Korean pop culture have been accused of unoriginality, plagiarizing Japanese pop culture in areas such as animation, pop music, video games, and television programs. Copyright violation issues have been arising as a result. <ref>{{cite news | author = 최승현 | title = 방송 일본 TV 베끼기 “아직도 그대로네” | url =http://www.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200207/200207230184.html | publisher = [[The Chosun Ilbo]] | date = 2006-01-12 | accessdate = 2007-10-11 | language = Korean }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | author = 유아정 기자 | title = SC 매거진 TV 오락프로 이대로 좋은가...끊임없는 표절 논란 | url = http://news.naver.com/news/read.php?mode=LSD&office_id=076&article_id=0000077105 | publisher = 스포츠조선 ([[Naver]]) | date = 2007-10-11 | accessdate = 2007-10-11 | language = Korean }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | author = 장진리 | title = 한국 인기 먹거리, 일본 제품 표절 심하네 | url = http://isplus.joins.com/news/general/200707/03/200707031437009206050100000501010005010101.html | publisher = 일간스포츠 | date = 2007-10-11 | accessdate = 2007-10-11 | language = Korean }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | author = 이주영 | title = MBC´일밤´´추격남녀´도 표절의혹 | url = http://www.dailian.co.kr/news/n_view.html?kind=rank_code&keys=3&id=24709 | publisher = 데일리안 | date = 2005-08-23 | accessdate = 2007-10-11 | language = Korean }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | author = 강지훈 | title = 가수 노블레스 뮤비, 드라마 '프라이드' 표절 의혹 | url =http://www.mydaily.co.kr/news/read.html?newsid=200701261615121130 | publisher = 데일리안 | date = 2007-01-26 | accessdate = 2007-10-11 | language = Korean }}</ref> <ref>{{cite news | author = 고재열 | title = <하늘이시여> 표절 의혹 | url =http://zine.media.daum.net/mega/sisapress/200601/12/sisapress/v11372060.html?_right_TOPIC=R7?is_status=http%3A%2F%2Fzine.media.daum.net%2Fmega%2Fsisapress%2F200601%2F12%2Fsisapress%2Fv11372060.html%3F_right_TOPIC%3DR7 | publisher = 시사저널 | date = 2006-01-12 | accessdate = 2007-10-11 | language = Korean }}</ref> In 2007, a [[K-pop]] singer [[Ivy (singer)|Ivy]] was accused of copying a scene from the Japanese video game movie adaptation [[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]] in one of her music videos.
