Host: The audience has a question to O Sonfa. Is the proverb "Crying children get one more rice cake" often used in Korea? O Sonfa: It is often used.

Host: Do Koreans know the truth of the seven robberies that Korea claims? the seven robberies are 1. sovereignty 2. King 3. life 4. National language 5. one's family name 6. land 7. resource. O Sonfa: The contents have always been said. The word "7 robberies" was learned recently. Korea is making more and more anti-Japanese things. Hyakuta: I also wrote in the book, "7 robberies misunderstanding". Korea says Japan robbed the king. Japan has not robbed the king. Japan was to treats well of the king. Japanese royal family married the king. Later, the king became a lieutenant-general of the Japanese Army. The king became The Kazoku. If South Korea said Japan robbed the king, when K...

Host: We will talk about South Korean suppression of speech. Is Korea a country governed by the law? Her answer is "No". About the recent situation of suppression of speech. Three people, including representatives Yoshitaka Shindo, who was scheduled to visit Ulleungdo in 2011, were refused entry. In 3013 Ms. O was refused entry. O Sonfa: I was refused entry twice. At the time of the 2007 Roh Moo-hyun administration, My mother died. Next day was a funeral. I hurried on the plane and I arrived at Jeju Island past 12 o'clock. I could not enter from there. Host: Can you not enter Korea for funerals? O Sonfa: Outside the airport, my sister was waiting. Mobile phones did not connect well. I could not contact, my sister. I contacted a friend in Tokyo. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted the embassy in Jeju Island. It was necessary for a long time. I was told to go home by plane at 6 o'clock in the evening. "Tomorrow, there will be...

Host: In relation to the so-called drafted worker issue, Nippon Steel contributed to the construction of the Korean subway and highway. Nippon Steel has awarded a medal for its past contributions in Korea. O Sonfa: That's right. Nippon Steel is being sued now. I am acquainted with Ariga who was the former Chairperson of Nippon Steel. I was often said. "The Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea" was signed on June 22, 1965. Japan has made a lot of economic assistance. Hyakuta: Japan has made to the fullest economic assistance. O Sonfa: At that time, Korea ’s national budget was $ 350 million. Japan supported $ 1.1 billion. Japan gave technical support to Korea. At that time, Nippon Steel contributed a great deal to Korea's railways and expressways. So it was evaluated by President Park Chung-hee. So he got a medal. So he was called to The Blue House. He is very happy. Everyone evaluated and received a medal. There was...

Hyakuta: BTS atomic bomb T-shirt problem, This is no good. They are a popular group. One of them wore a T-shirt that is printed photos mushroom cloud of the atomic bomb and people who raise their hands with pleasure. This is terrible. O Somfa: This message is that think about what Japan has done! There is a message that Japan is cursed. Host: There are also Koreans. O Sonfa: Japan has been cursed because it fell into Japan. It is to say that think about what Japan has done! Htakuta: The atomic bomb is a terrible crime. It is doubtful of the national character that they raise their hands with pleasure against the atomic bomb. Koreans are pleased when there is a big earthquake in Japan. Koreans attack Japan with ease. Koreans feel pleasure when Japan is cursed. In Korea,  it is allowed that insult Japan. Hyakuta: Don't Koreans think ashamed? 1:52～ O Sonfa: Koreans do not think. There is an idea of morals that people should not say trash talk. It is permissi...

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....
