The antics of the mentally unstable will not add legitimacy to one's cause.

This doesn't surprise me. Koreans have been cutting themselves, lopping off digits, setting themselves ablaze, all in the name of some cause for a long time. Many Koreans will probably see this as a noble act and blame Japan.

It's possible that this was done in reference to the Japanese Yakuza practice of severing the pinkie for misdeeds.

They should send the digits to North Korea. Could feed an entire village for a week.
