I certainly understand the history of what Japan has done in Korea.

For present purposes though - your view is false. Yes, Japan invade Korea 500 years ago (or even 100+ years ago). No one should forget that. But what is happening TODAY? I don’t live in 1500’s - I live in 2010.

How many Koreans died in the last 10 years from man-made starvation? Execution? Forced Labor? How many will die TODAY in the North? And who is responsible for that? Who could end that situation immediately if they wanted? CHINA.

Formerly the Korean language was written using Chinese characters. Nowadays Korean is mainly written in hangul, the Korean alphabet, while hanja(Korean name for Chinese characters) are often also used as a form of shorthand in newspaper headlines, advertisements, and on signs.
