Not all Koreans **** Japanese. The word **** is too strong and isolated word. Koreans probably **** narrow minded stupid Japanese politicians and Japanese Nationalist. Koreans do not relate those two as Japanese majority. Both nations and people have nationalist groups. But majority of Koreans and Japanese travel each other countrys and eat eachother foods.

Koreans also have good points which Japanese can also learn from Koreans. Both countries need to learn from eachother.
