Japan (International affairs): "Throw off the mask!! Anti-Japan group"

The topic this time is :
South Korea's top anti-Japan group resigns over embezzlement charges.

It has been said for some time the "anti-Japanese" movement organizations in South Korea have turned into interest groups, and are organizations and groups of activists who pursue private interests in the name of "anti-Japanese", and that therefore, any improvement in Japan-Korea relations would deplete their financial resources, and that they are not interested in improving Japan-Korea relations at all.

This incident is just one of the proofs of it.

According to the Sankei Shimbun newspaper, on February 16, the president of the South Korean organization made up of descendants of anti-Japanese independence activists during the Japanese rule, announced his resignation following the revelation of suspicions that he had embezzled funds from the group.

The president of the group has been the subject of controversy for his extreme "anti-Japanese" stance and his excessive words and actions in denouncing conservatives as "pro-Japanese," and there have been many calls for his resignation.

In South Korea, Yoon Mi-hyang, a member of the National Assembly and the ruling party, who served as the head of an organization supporting former "comfort women" and was known for her anti-Japanese words and actions, has been indicted on charges of misappropriation of donations and is currently on trial.

Conservative opposition parties have criticized the president of the anti-Japan group as "the second Yoon Mi-hyang" because of the similarities between the two, who are both said to have been involved in fraudulent activities behind the scenes to stir up anti-Japanese public opinion.
