Others:
ODA interests are not returned yet. When Japan discontinues ODA to Korea, Korean President demanded apology from Japan to continue ODA.
Japan financed Korea every time they have Economic Crisis, but these debts were never returned.
At the time of IMF fund, Korea officially remarked that IMF was welcome but Japan money was annoyance. These debt were not returned yet.
During Lehman Shock, Korean president remarked “Japan is very stingy, Asian countries are not happy of attitude of Japan”
During FIFA world Cup, Korea requested 30 billion dollar debt from Japan to construct their Succor stadiums. And Korea requested to Spell the World Cup name as “Korea-Japan World Cup” not “Japan Korea World Cup”
Korea is the Country who does not return money, but also steal Takeshima island from Japan, and invent disastrous history to demand apology and compensation from Japan.
We have to understand Korea is such country to defend from their totally ridiculous demands.
