You may well be right, Tim.
But those black or white ideas about the blame of those nations who were on the losing side of the WWs still are for simple people only IMO.

That said, Koreans and Japanese never had any love lost for each others.
Similar - albeit at a different level - to the feeling between Danish and Swedish, where the Danes always held a serious grudge against the Swedes blamed on anything from "always losing in soccer" or "allowing for the German transit during WW II".

The Japanese always looked down on the Koreans for "their tendency to try short cuts to catch up" as opposed to "why don't they do their home work and learn it the hard way".

Of course, with my wife being Japanese I do admit to some bias.
