Holy shit, that's brutal. I'm sure the kids will grow out of this phase soon though and will end up growing into well rounded adults.

That looks recent, its all about the "Dok do is our land" nonsense.

At the same time, Japan could stop trying to take it back. But I don't know all the details.

Shocking.


When I was in Osaka a few months back there was a children's art exhibit outside of Osaka castle. I was astounded at how many pictures depicted Japan and Korea shaking hands and/or hugging with an overall message of peace and brotherhood. I really wish i had taken pictures.

Even from talking to people at my hotel and at local bars, the attitude of people was FAR different than here. Whenever I told someone I was living in Korea I was met with a big smile and a "Oh wonderful! Anyunghasayo."

When i came back to work I mentioned to my boss how great my trip was. He got all tomato faced and became frothing mad. He told a few co-workers about how i felt and, not a word of a lie, they organized a type of intervention in the coffee room. When i walked in there to get my morning coffee the next day, they let loose with a barrage of anti-Japanese rhetoric the likes of which would make David Duke blush.

Twisted stuff

That twisted stuff is going on my Cyworld page.

Edit: Oh, it's Gord. Gord, can I put it up on my Cyworld page?

This whole country needs a giant group therapy session about Dok-do. Let it go!!! Everyone has forgotten about it except you!!!

[Swiss James]

I bet half the kids in my class at that age would've done similar things about Argentina or Germany, or whoever the current bad taste of the month was. But the teacher would have made us stop and do something less negative- rather than exhibit them in a public place.

I think it's horrible.

[blunder1983]

Wow thats pretty disturbing stuff.

Just what is the deal with Dok do? Is it like the Korean Fauklands? I'm an ignoramus

[ChimpumCallao]

Wow.

Try and imagine US, Canada...whatever, posting pictures of that nature up. Japan's president as a DOG!!?? Good Lord.

Is Korea less accountable because they are a bunch of excitable little girls? I wish it was an important enough nation for all this nonsense to warrant a nice big editorial on the New York Times. What a bunch of dorks.

I am not surprised by the pictures, honestly...but I am a little apalled.

[Dan]

Oh please. These are kids, and kids tend to be overly aggressive in their expression.

I thought some of those were hilarious, like the Japan roll of toilet paper. And lets not forget the positives here. The more Koreans focus on bad blood with Japan, the less energy they have to focus their hatred on America.

No this wouldn't be acceptable in Western parts of the world, but hey, you knew Koreans were screwy, right?

[little mixed girl]

i had to laugh reading the captions.

it's really sad when u have to fight over tiny rocks...i should ddong on ddong-do.

[peppermint]

The sad part is, I see stuff like this at my school as wel, along with the t-shirts the school gave out saying "I (heart) Dokdo".

[itaewonguy]

the teacher has issues! and now he is making class projects with it!!
ok kids today! I want you all to draw some pictures showing how GREAT KOREA IS! make them look like korea is destroying JAPAN, use Dokdo for inspiration.. anyway the theme today kids is I HATE JAPAN!
student 1: Teacher same principle as last weeks I HATE USA?
Teacher: YES thats right..
Student2: so same as yesterdays KOREA IS NUMBER 1
teacher: yes thats right..
students: ok teacher!

talk about brainwashing!!!!!

[Draven]

While the argument could be made (unsuccessfully) that these pics just came from some overzealous kids showing their patriotism, the scary thing is how they've obviously been sanctioned (and more likely greatly encouraged) by their teachers and the subway company. It's shameful.
