According to the opinion poll of Joong Ang Ilbo, the leading newspaper in Korea, Japan is the most disliked country for Koreans and at the same time the top country that Korea has to learn from (Joong Ang Ilbo, September 22, 2008). The opinion poll of the Cabinet Office in Japan (2008) shows that Korea is increasingly becoming a “close” country. In 2006, about 49% felt that Korea is “close”or “somewhat close” but it increased to 57% in 2008 which marked the highest rise since the poll started in 1975. Interestingly, the proportion of those who feel close to USA is 73% which reflects Japan’s postwar politics and position.
