  2. Crazy how quick Honda and VW changed American opinions of Japan and Germany

  3. Good data. Not very surprising though. Free societies don’t tend to look favorably upon non free-societies. Regardless of the truth of China’s freedom, the outside view is that there is little to none.

  4. When you consider how infected japan-sk sentiment was just 15 years ago the change is rapid among young population. From talking with japanese youths I think it is mutual as younger generation associate Korea with kpop, cosmetics, travel and positive things.

  5. I have a hard time accepting this given how much I’ve had to hear about the Imjin war of 1592 from a couple Koreans I know

  6. Koreans like Japanese anime. Not saying that is the reason, but y’know, just sayin’

  8. Men in general is about 73% favourable…but men and women combined is 57.3%…assuming about a 50/50 split that means women have a generally unfavourable view of Japan at about 49%?

    Why do men like Japan so much more than the women do? Anime right?

  9. I always thought there might be disdain because they are allied and support the existence of North Korea no? Like people over here talking about anime and k-pop lmfao, meanwhile all the men have to get drafted cause of a lunatic upstairs who can call on big bro if any threat presents itself.

  10. If you know anything about Koreans are like, you’d never take any statements on their opinions seriously. 🤣

  11. How about the women? I’ve heard there’s a big political divergence between the sexes in South Korea.
