TOKYO, Nov. 14 - A young Japanese woman in the comic book "Hating the Korean Wave" exclaims, "It's not an exaggeration to say that Japan built the South Korea of today!" In another passage the book states that "there is nothing at all in Korean culture to be proud of."

I cant read the article because it requires a login, but suffice it to say that there is a small percentage of Japanese, mostly from the extreme, right-wing, and a number of South Koreans (not sure, never been there and havnt heard much except bad stuff) who just can't stop poking at each other.

heres a good example from the Korean side.

nope, it probably went behind the subscription wall sometime around now. i remember somewhere there was a site where you could look up usernames and passwords to free sites like NYT. i should look for that. I dont feel like signing up for another username and password.
