With the possibility that Suga's general election will be held in September, is Moon Jae In trying to shake up the situation by citing summit talks and participation in the Olympics?To put it bluntly, holding a summit between Japan and South Korea will only have disadvantages for Prime Minister Kan.Shigeru Ishiba, who has been considered a candidate for the next prime minister in last year's general election, was criticized by the people as a result of his appeal for reconciliation with China and South Korea.Prime Minister Suga probably does not want to get involved before the general election.

On the 3rd, the South Korean national soccer team, led by coach Paulo Bentu, suffered a fierce 2-1 win in the third and final match of Group H of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Group League against Portugal, which was held at the Alaiyan Education City Stadium in Qatar. They achieved a come-from-behind victory.
Immediately after the match, the players gathered for a commemorative photo. During this process, Song Min-gyu stepped on the Taegeukgi that was spread on the floor while changing his seat.
Netizens who saw him pointed out that his behavior was inappropriate. Some netizens posted on his social networking service (SNS), saying, ``I know he was happy, but he stepped on the Taegeukgi and took a photo, but please be careful next time.'' While watching the video, I was very surprised and angry.I feel embarrassed before the whole world sees it,'' and ``If you step on the national flag, please apologize first.''
Song Min-kyu posted on his Instagram story, ``After the game, I was so happy that I didn't panic and didn't even realize that I had stepped on the Taegeukgi.I don't think this should happen under any circumstances.'' I apologized.

This country has traditionally trampled, burned, and torn the flags of other countries. Don't you realize that it's a shameful act?
Last One Mile Support In addition to Taiwan and Vietnam, Japan will provide vaccines through COVAX: Cambodia, Laos, East Timor, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon, Tonga, Vanuatu, Iran.
New target country of "Last One Mile Support" in cooperation with UNICEF: Ghana, Senegal, Mozambique, Malawi, Palestine, the Philippines and Mongolia."Last One Mile Support" will cover 59 countries and regions.
Korea is not a developing country, so it is likely that it will not be able to provide vaccines because now Korea is in the midst of the No Japan movement and Japan respected it and their passion.
Yoon Seok - yeol's digital strategy in Korea.World - class? Does he know what 6G and AI mean? This is an excerpt from an article made by Yun Seok-Yeol of the opposition People's Power, who is running in the Korean presidential election. It seems that Japan is aiming to become a digital hegemony. And South Korea will lead the way in 6G...
Presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol announced on the 28th that Korea will become a digital economic hegemon by training ``1 million digital talents.'' Candidate Yoon pledged to create a flexible work environment that suits the characteristics of the IT industry, and raised the need for flexible work, saying, ``Is it possible to restrict people from working from home for more than eight hours?'' I emphasized it again.
Candidate Yoon's comments are expected to be controversial as the Labor Standards Act already restricts working hours to over eight hours. Candidate Yoon held a press conference in Yeouido, saying, ``In order to reduce the technological gap with developed countries, we will raise next-generation artificial intelligence technology to the highest level in the world.'' We will introduce solutions and build the best AI system."
It seems that within three years we will reduce the technological gap with developed countries and raise it to the highest level in the world. I don't understand the meaning at all.
Candidate Yoon's vision is for South Korea to build the world's fastest and most powerful digital platform, export it to countries around the world, and become a digital economic hegemon. Developing an artificial intelligence industry was mentioned as one of the six practical tasks for this purpose. In detail, he explained that the company will build the world's largest cloud computing infrastructure for AI that can be used jointly by universities, research institutes, and companies. For the development of the software industry, he promised, ``The digital platform government will welcome the government, introduce public software innovation products for great national service, and help the growth of capable software companies.''
Candidate Yoon pledged to build a digital infrastructure that would upgrade the national 5G network and lead the world standard for 6G, and also offered a pledge to revitalize the ``My Data'' industry, which would allow citizens to receive custom benefits. He also pledged to support the semiconductor and mobility industries and build a cyber safety net. This means building a unified cyber response system for an integrated response during a cyber crisis, and building an integrated cyber response system that utilizes artificial intelligence.
I thought what the ruling party candidates were saying was a big deal, but the opposition candidates are also making a big deal about it in other areas. Is it enough to just win the Korean presidential election?
President Yun Seok - Yeol was criticized for not demanding an apology from Japan during Korea Liberation Day! Countries demanding an apology on the day the war ended.
Enthusiasm to repair Japan-Korea relations
A country that expects grudge festival on the day of the end of the war
It is clear that it will change again if the government changes
Promises between Japan and South Korea that have been repeatedly broken
Background of countries that fail to keep their promises
It appears that President Yun Seok-Yeong's speech at Liberation Day is under attack. It is said that he only shouted for freedom 33 times in his speech on Liberation Day, but did not hear a single word demanding an apology on the 77th anniversary of Liberation Day.
In the first place, it can be said that it is abnormal that 77 years have passed and an apology is still being requested at a national ceremony.
Every country holds some type of event on Victory Day or the End of World War Day, but avoid using expressions that suggest that the country is still considered an enemy country. This is a matter of course if there are diplomatic relations, which is international common sense.
Will Israeli President Herzog give a speech on the anniversary of the end of the war, saying that Jews still hold a grudge against Germans? It can be said that this is a completely meaningless political action.
In any case, although President Yun Seok-Yeong's desire to improve Japan-Korea relations is highly commendable, even if we make some kind of promise with him, we have no idea what will happen once his term ends.
In Japan, it has been reported that the agreement between Japan and South Korea was broken during the era of former President Moon Jae-in, but diplomatic relations were restored in 1965, and the Japan-Korea Joint Declaration was issued in 1998, and concrete Japan-Korea exchanges were established. have started, but they are already in an invalid state. The Japan-Korea Joint Declaration collapsed within two years.
In other words, the fact remains that South Korea is not in a position to keep its promises. Therein lies the essential problem. The best-selling book Anti-Japanese Tribalism written by Korean professor Lee Yong-hoon describes anti-Japanese as shamanism that goes beyond logic. It is truly an anti-Japanese religion.
Korea claims that the Korean Peninsula has been modernized even without the Japanese rule: Korea does not know the prerequisites for modernization
There was a YouTube video by a pro-Japanese Korean who showed South Korean youth photos of the country before and after the Japanese occupation, showing the state of development at that time. The performers were all surprised and said it was the first time they had seen it, and they were also surprised to hear that the population had doubled and lifespans had doubled.
However, they all said that although it is clear that the country developed during the Japanese colonial era, it is still true that Japan invaded. He was unable to explain the counterargument that the Korean Peninsula would have developed even without Japan.
The photo of a unicycle ridden by yangban (Korean aristocrats) is interestingly introduced as a photo of the time before development, but as I have posted in the past, this one photo explains everything about this answer. . At that time, there was no technology to make wheels on the Korean Peninsula. And four slaves are supporting a unicycle.
Modernization was triggered by the Industrial Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution was a revolution in power, and the steam engine was a mechanism and machine that transferred large amounts of energy to gears and converted it into another repetitive motion. If you can't make wheels, it's impossible to make any industrial machinery. However, this is a technical matter, and even if one were able to learn how to make one and create one, it would be impossible to modernize it.
A necessary condition for the industrial revolution is that a mobile labor force, the proletariat, must exist in society. Production becomes possible only when the labor force is replenished in industries that can develop. In the society of the time, where slaves were slaves to the yangban, this would have been impossible. These are things that always come up when explaining the industrial revolution.
The Meiji Restoration abolished the shogunate system and liberated citizens from the land, creating a mobile labor force. It was Kim Ok-gyun who tried to achieve these goals on the Korean peninsula, but the Gashin Coup failed and Kim Ok-gyun defected to Japan, but was assassinated in Shanghai. Unless the class system can be abolished from within the Korean peninsula, modernization will never be possible.
