About Korea, Korean

Hyakuta: You came to Japan in 1983 and was naturalized in 1998. You came to Japan and was naturalized 15 years later. When did you think that "I would like to be naturalized"? O Sonfa: It is about eight years. I started writing a book and thinking about "What is Japanese?" What's wrong with the "Japan-Korea issue"? I Looked it objectively. There are many problems on the Korean side. I want Koreans to be a little more decent. I calmly wrote a book about "Japan-Korea relations". It was criticized by Korea. I cannot remark freely. It is very bound. I want to remark freely. We must write freely and we need freedom of speech. This is the premise of democracy. Nothing can be said if it is bound. My head gets stiff. The first reason is "I want to remark freely" and I became loving Japan. I have naturalized in the spirit that I want to be Japanese when I was reborn. 2:24~ Hyakuta: There are many earthquakes in Jap

Host: If you are reborn, are you want to be Japanese? Your answer is "Yes". O Sonfa: Korea has strong responsibility avoidance. When I was in Korea, I thought it was natural to compare the hierarchical relationship. When I came to Japan I tried the same thing. I felt it was getting harder and I became polite to the other person. Japan values “balance”. Balance with the other person. Acquire this way of thinking, when I meet Koreans, I am extremely tired. When I am in Japan it is feeling good for me than in "a society where hate people,  don't feel happy and blame people". Koreans put the blame on others.  In Japan, There is no need to compare. I don't want to be told who/what to be. Japanese are said to have no personality. I think Japanese people have the most individuality. They have a feeling of "Thankful" for themselves and their work. They say, "I am doing this because I like this job." This kind

Host: Do you think Korea is a country   of a   system based on the rule of law? The answer is "I cannot think so". O Sonfa: "Democracy is by keeping the law" is a democracy. Korea flows in "emotional". Korea will make a trial on the basis of public sentiment. It is misunderstood that Korea is a system based on the rule of law. Hyakuta: In Korea, the law is distorted by public sentiment. Even in the case of a recruitment worker, it became an unthinkable judgment result. Is the Korean government troubled with this result? OSonfa: I do not think that the Korean government is particularly troubled. The current president is from a lawyer. There is a word that the president Moon said Korea is not a   system based on the rule of law. When impeached President Park, he said something like this in the interview. The mind of the sovereign is the constitution. I think that the Constitutional Court supports these people's mind.
