(Japan occupied, managed, and developed Korea from 1910 to 1945. But, before Japan's occupation, there had been a helplessly split class society and an incompetent, out-of-date kingdom in Korea; after Japan's occupation, there were the Korean War, continued military confrontation with North Korea, and military regimes in South Korea.

Today, there are about 12 million Christians in South Korea, accounting for 25.6% of the population. South Korea is the second largest Christian country in Asia, next to the Philippines.
In 2000, the Korean Protestant organizations sent 10,646 priests to the world for missionary work, which is the second largest next to the U.S.
Today, however, Japanese sometimes get victimized by bogus religious organizations and movements formed in South Korea and sent to Japan, mostly, in the disguise of Christianity.
In a recent criminal case, a bad religious group led by South Koreans who called themselves Christians recruited many young ladies, especially good looking girls, in Japan and abused them in an immoral manner so as to invite more impure participants in their activities and increase their income.
The hardship that has continued so long in their history has really made some Koreans so irresponsible, wicked, desperate, and vicious.

Nonetheless, Japan has been investing much into South Korean industries and transferring technology and know-how to South Korean businesses.
Majority of South Korean people respect Japanese power and ability and hope to cooperate with and maintain good relationship with Japan.
Generally speaking, there are many young Koreans who are so courteous as to give the most favorable impression to Japanese than any other youths in the world. They really know how to respect seniors and society.
Koreans are the quickest learners of the Japanese language, which means they are quicker than any other people including Chinese and Filipinos.

Even in America, you have to deal with young Koreans with compassion to their history and with understanding of their personality, which however are both very different from those of Japanese youths who seem to know more to be afraid of than young Koreans.
I repeat that there are a lot of good girls and sound youths in South Korea. And I hope again that God saves their souls and souls of all of them.)
