I worked with a very smart Korean.
He often said the Koreans were successful because; “They work very hard, have good water, and HATE THE JAPANESE.”
I used to wonder about Korean water but this article reinforces his statement.
Fukushima nuclear poweris on the east coast of Japan north of Tokyo. There is a slight south bound counter current at times
inside on the shelf next to the coast, tides in the Sea of Japan generally fill fronm the south and exit to the north.

Did he ever live in Korea?
My Korean friend tells me that Koreans have not yet forgiven the Japanese for what they did to them in WWII.
