[Internet] Shock to some thoughtless netizens' pro-Japanese site.
Recently, while friction between South Korea and Japan is large by Yasukuni Shrine worship of Japan's Prime Minister, Japanese history textbook distortion, etc., it becomes clear that some thoughtless netizens made the pro-Japanese site, and a shock is given.
The information and communication Ethics Committee subsidiary to information and communication ministry announced on the 17th that they closed eight sites of the contents applauding Japanese imperialism and the Emperor of Japan.
These sites were describing the contents which cannot be understood by the normal view of a South Korean, such as "We risk our life for the Majesty of the Emperor of Japan" or "as for the colony time, South Korea was lucky. Japan contributed to South Korean modernization."
Moreover, there were cases that the beautification of Japanese invasion resulted in injuring the reputation of our race.
A certain Mr.Kim who was managing the room of columns "the heart respecting Japan", was accused by Queen Minpi's descendants of applauding that her murder case caused by Japanese imperialism was a good event.
Mr.Kim wrote even the absurd content such as "Queen Minpi studied 房中術."
The pro-Japanese sites known until now are about ten.
According to administrators of serch engine sites like navor and mpass, the sites which could avoid controls go underground once, and are expected to be managed without registration of serch engines in secret club form.
Some pro-Japanese sites were attacked to be down by Other netizens who were indignant at the thoughtless opinion.
Yi DonHyok(?) the team leader of the information and communication Ethics Committee said, "I thought almost of such sites were made only from mere curiosity, but I was surprised that at a part of them the author who graduated from prestige university acknowledges himself to be a controversialist and insists on distorted opinions."
I'm afraid that this kind of cersorship prevernt Korean people from touching various views of history.
