This isn't really surprising seeing as how it only took the three NE Asian countries into account. Korea has historically been on the losing end of relations with these countries so it would stand to reason they wouldn't feel so cocky about their relations. It'd be better to compare Korea to all the countries of NE and SE Asia and get a feel for how the attitudes compare.

South Koreans have a lot to be insecure and ashamed about-take a look at the candlelgiht vigil retards, eating kimch i everyday and an erroneous claim to Dokdo.

"Asked about relations between Korea and China, 59.8 percent of Korean respondents said they were bad, up from 34.5 percent in 2007, as against only 16.4 percent of Chinese respondents, up from 6.6 percent in 2007."

I think the numbers above say the reverse.
There is much concern from Chinese about the bad relationship between Korea and China, increase 148% from 2007 to 2008, while in Korea, just increase 73%.
And if we just take a look at the population of China (1,321,851,888 (July 2007 est.)) compared to that of Korea (49,044,790 (July 2007 est.)).

Somehow those results make me the most concerned about China.

I am not sure how informative this is. It's not like China and Japan have reported great results, either. And if you compare Koreans to Americans after what happened in Iraq, it's quite possible Americans feel many people are upset with America, though that's being reduced due to Obama, but we are not sure how things will go. In Asia, Koreans do not have a good image, despite all the talk about soap operas, their products. They are admired. America is admired for being advanced, but you have the so-called "ugly American", though there are grand Americans. There are many of the so-called ugly Koreans who look down on other Asians, go extreme in terms of nationalism, and there is the abuse of Asian factory workers and what have you, and so Korea's image takes a big hit as a result.

you have to be seriously brain-damaged to think that dokdo is a bigger issue than north korea.

Wasn't there just a topic a few weeks ago showing that a large percent of Japanese people were not proud to be Japanese? Surely someone else saw that thread on here...perhaps it was in the off topic forum.
