It literally almost became a diplomatic incident, it was insane. And now there are conspiracy theorists/sinophobes who think the people who were fanning flames on the korean side are actually chinese bots out to ruin SK's reputation. It's wild.

I thought I saw where this girl had no real social media presence until March this year (that she’s older than she says and has been in the military) and her email was registered to a company who proclaims to create viral issues

Yeah, me too. I'm really surprised she didn't know the history behind it, since Imperial Japan was so brutal with SEA

No, outside the comfort women/war-raping, Filipinos tend to have more fondness of Japan and the Japanese people. We love their culture, food and a lot of Filipinos work in Japan as entertainers, more recently nurses (due to Japan's old population and not enough young people to take care of them).
