JCP, > Seems to me Korea just isn't very popular in Asia Huh? The Wikipedia link suggests the opposite: > The book was released in the context of the recent "Korean Wave" pop culture boom in Japan, started by imports of Korean drama shows (one of the most popular being Winter Sonata) and other pop culture imports, leading to increased positive awareness of Korea, but it has also triggered a phenomenon known as the "Hate Korea Wave" (after which the book is named), due to increased awareness of various Korean-Japanese disputes and previously existing anti-Korean sentiment in Japan. Seems like Korea is becoming VERY popular in Japan, and the "Hate Korea Wave" is just part of a backlash by the Japanese conservatives. It's the same sort of backlash that was propelled against the NY Times bestseller, The Rape of Nanking: amazon.com And oh yeah, these are the same Japanese conservatives that want to arm Japan with nukes against North Korea.
