"We Have To Get Along"

As tensions rise between the governments of South Korea and Japan, no small number of Koreans living in Japan are caught in the political squeeze:

"Young Japanese devotees of South Korea’s most successful cultural export still flock here to buy posters, DVDs and miniature figures of BTS, Tohoshinki and Big Bang, added Choi, who moved to Tokyo from South Korea two decades ago. 'But I hope Japan and South Korea can sort out their differences. We’re neighbours, so we have to get along.'

Relations, however, are far from neighbourly. Seoul has called on the International Olympic Committee to ban Japan’s rising-sun flag – seen by some Koreans as a symbol of Japanese militarism – from next year’s Summer Games in Tokyo. A recent poll found that South Koreans trust North Korea more than they do Japan."

I guess I'm admittedly biased here, but c'mon -- there's a reason Germany long ago outlawed the Nazi flag, but in Japan it's still O.K. to wave the "Rising Sun" battle flag.
