Ilsan Kei, "Korea, anti-Japanese soldiers, I can't believe it..."Of course, Yasukuni visits"

The Sankei Shimbun, a far-right Japanese media outlet, claimed that the Korean government's failure to participate in the "Sado Mine Memorial Ceremony" held by Japan on Sado Island was an "anti-Japanese soldier."

Sankei said in an editorial that South Korea's absence appears to be due to resistance in South Korea over reports that Akiko Ikuina, a Japanese government representative, visited Yasukuni shrine, and criticized South Korea's anti-Japanese soldiers as sick and tired of them.

At the same time, Japanese politicians emphasized that it is natural to pay tribute to Yasukuni shrine, which has a collection of war dead, and that there is no reason to be criticized by foreign countries.

He added that it is common for lawmakers who visited Yasukuni shrine to take office in important government positions, and if they refuse to be present for this reason, the South Korean government does not intend to have a proper relationship with Japan.

At the same time, Ikuina said she had not visited Yasukuni since becoming a member of the upper house of parliament, but if so, she said it was rather regrettable and urged her to visit early.
