There are still seven days before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics. Recently, teams from various countries have arrived in Tokyo to check into the Olympic Village. However, a move made by the Korean team after checking in made the Japanese furious. According to reports, South Korea posted on the balcony the words "I have the solidarity and support of 50 million citizens." This sentence quoted the famous anti-Japanese general Yi Sun-shin who guarded the Korean Sea during the Joseon Dynasty.
When Japan invaded Korea, Yi Sun-shin wrote a letter asking for war, saying, "I still have 12 ships!" to show his bravery and courage to fight for the country even in the face of a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves. . The Korean team's move was regarded as an "anti-Japanese symbol" by many Japanese media and Japanese people. They scolded the Korean team for using the Olympics to achieve political goals and called on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to punish them.
Japanese and Korean media believe that the Tokyo Olympics may bring a turning point for the improvement of relations between the two countries
Many Japanese and Korean media reports believe that the Tokyo Olympics may bring a turning point for the improvement of relations between the two countries. The improvement has brought a glimmer of hope, provided that Moon Jae-in visits Japan and holds a summit meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. However, both sides, whose relations were at a low point, were unwilling to show unconditional goodwill, so the two countries launched a "psychological war."
“The psychological warfare between South Korea and Japan is for the upcoming wrestling match.” Park Soo-hyun, Chief Secretary for National Communications at the Blue House, posted on Facebook on July 11, saying, “There is no such thing as psychological warfare for no reason. ”, suggesting that the two countries are exchanging bargaining chips for the summit talks.
