Having spent 3 days in korea(most time in Seoul), I find that there are considerable japanophiles here. Although Japan occupied korea several decades before, it turns out not many Koreans hate japanese. So many Japanese stuff here, japanese resturants, Japanese signs everywhere, japanese TV channels, … I even got an enthusiastic help from three korean girls while I was trying to find a hotel in gumi. They told me that they thought I was japanese once.
