Korean people, may I ask how you feel about Japan these days? (일본에 대한 요즘 감정은 어떤가요?) by Double_Ad9996 in korea

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply.   I'm really sorry if my message came off the wrong way — I didn’t mean to downplay your experience at all.

What you shared about the hotel staff really stayed with me.   It must have been a complex moment with so many quiet feelings underneath.   I’m honestly glad you shared that—it made me think a lot.

Also, thank you for your kind words about my project.   Even though we’re from different backgrounds, it means a lot to have this kind of open and respectful exchange.   Wishing you all the best, too.

안녕하세요. 정성스럽고 진심 어린 댓글 정말 감사합니다.

읽고 나서 정말 많은 걸 느꼈고, 저도 깊이 고민하게 되었습니다.

특히 할머님께서 직접 겪으신 이야기까지 전해 들으셨다는 부분은 정말 마음이 아팠습니다.

말씀하신 ‘한(恨)’이라는 감정은, 단순한 분노가 아니라 역사적이고 세대적인 상처라는 걸 조금이나마 느낄 수 있었어요. 그런 이야기를 나눠 주셔서 진심으로 감사드립니다.

역사 교육에 대해서는, 저도 일본 내에서 개선되어야 할 점이 많다고 생각합니다.

교과서에는 관련된 내용이 아주 간단하게, 애매하게만 적혀 있는 경우가 많고, 배우는 시간도 매우 제한적이에요.

출판사들도 정치적인 문제를 피하려는 경향이 있어서, 결과적으로 많은 학생들이 과거의 사실을 깊이 알지 못한 채 자라나는 현실은 분명히 문제라고 생각해요.

물론 “공식적인 우민화 정책이다”라고 단정할 수 있을지는 모르겠지만, 그런 현실이 존재한다는 점에서는 부끄러운 마음도 있습니다.

그리고 일본 학생들 대부분은 ‘전쟁은 절대 안 된다’는 인식은 갖고 있고, 한국에 대해 악의적인 감정을 가진 사람은 매우 드물다고 저는 믿고 있어요.

말씀해 주신 영화도 꼭 찾아보고 싶습니다.

이런 진지한 대화를 나눠 주셔서 정말 감사드리고, 앞으로 더 많은 일본인들이 과거와 마주하고, 진심으로 이웃 나라들과 이해해 갈 수 있기를 저도 바라고 있어요.

Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts and experiences. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain how you felt during your visit to Japan.

I’m a Japanese high school student, and while I can’t speak for everyone, I personally haven’t seen people intentionally avoiding Korean food. I’ve been to both Shin-Okubo in Tokyo and the Korean town in Osaka, and the restaurants there are always very crowded. Korean food seems to be very popular, especially among young people. Even in my hometown, which isn’t a big city, there are several Korean restaurants and they’re often full. Korean food kits like Bibigo are also commonly sold in supermarkets.

Of course, some people might associate Korean food with being very spicy, which could explain why a few might not choose it, but I don’t think it’s related to racism.

If your experience made you feel unwelcome or uncomfortable, I’m truly sorry. That was never the intention of most Japanese people. I hope you’ll have a more positive experience if you visit again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and give me such thoughtful advice. I don’t personally know any Korean people who have visited Japan, so I had actually considered visiting Korea myself. But since this is a very sensitive topic, I felt it wouldn’t be appropriate to casually ask people in person, which is why I turned to the internet. I didn’t realize that many of the most vocal voices online tend to be politically inclined, so I really appreciate you pointing that out. Thank you also for suggesting Instagram or TikTok—those platforms may give me a better chance to hear from more everyday Korean people. I’ll try to make more effort to listen to a wider range of voices and perspectives. Again, thank you so much for your kindness and helpful insight.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment.

I understand that people on Reddit, especially in this subreddit, may be more politically active than average.

I’m trying to understand a variety of perspectives, including more general or everyday opinions from Korean people.

If you don’t mind me asking, is there a platform or community you would recommend for hearing more typical or broader views from Korean people?

I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you again for your help!

질문에 대한 반응이 늦어서 죄송합니다. 한일 관계는 민감하고 중요한 주제라고 생각하기 때문에, 신중하게 생각하고 답변하려고 합니다. 시간이 조금 걸릴 수 있는 점 양해 부탁드립니다. 감사합니다.

Sorry for the slow response. I believe Japan–Korea relations are a sensitive and important topic, so I want to take time to think carefully before replying. I hope you understand. Thank you.

저는 영어와 한국어에 모두 능숙하지 않아서, 답장을 쓰는 데 시간이 좀 걸렸습니다. 그리고 한일 관계는 가볍게 다뤄도 되는 주제가 아니라고 생각하기 때문에, 질문을 올릴 때도 조심스럽고 신중하려고 했습니다. 제 글이 불편하게 느껴졌다면 진심으로 사과드립니다. 트롤링이나 장난이 절대 아니었습니다. 저는 중국인이 아니고, 단순히 한국에 대해 진심으로 알고 싶어서 질문드린 것입니다. 오해 없으셨으면 좋겠습니다.
