(Fund builder: Korean columnist)
In 2015, German Prime Minister Merkel visited Japan (March 9-10).The appearance of Merkel getting off the airplane rap was reported at the top of the newspaper.One major newspaper dealt with six articles related to Merkel on a total of 36 sides.One of them was a full article.Given that the newspaper's full advertisement was 13 on that day, the amount of pure article paper was filled with the content related to Merkel.
By the way, this is not a Japanese newspaper.It is a Korean newspaper.Other Korean media, such as TV, also reported on Merkel's visit to Japan.Interest in Merkel, who visited Japan, was much greater in Korea than in Japan.
Why did such a phenomenon occur?It is obvious at a glance if you look at the reports of Korean media.The headlines of the Korean representative newspaper, the Korean Nippon, were as follows.
"Merkel," Sunday, the comfort women problem should be solved properly "" One -sided top "The Asahi of the anti -Abe camp, searching for Okada every day" 3 -sided top "Beautiful and beautifying themselves while fighting." 3As a side "Most day, ignore or shrink the media" Merkel Dry Remarks "" 3 "Reflection 10 years of Merkel ... Become a world leader over Europe" 18th top "4 years of history denial, Abe ... Weekly country ...19 -sided top of the worries of the worries, "The victory or loss of diplomatic warfare of the United States and the Korean -Japan diplomatic war has begun to be decided" 34 "Merkel is changing" 35
Of the 36 sides, the 18 and 19 sides are the central spread page.The top articles are listed in the form of "Merkel for 10 years ..." and "Abe for four years of history denial, Abe ...", respectively.
In August 2019, President Bunja -Tora said, "Germany has become a country that has become a country that has been trusted in the international community, sincerely reflecting on the past (...), and gaining trust in the international community.I have to engrave it, "he said to warn Japan.
Koreans really like Germany.I believe that Germany is an example of a model nation that sincerely reflects on past mistakes and apologizes.And compared to such a Germany, I don't think Japan is not good.Therefore, Koreans hope that every time Germany is the opportunity, they will be strictly warned to Japan, saying, "Reflect on the past and apologize."
In the end, the Korean side exploded about Merkel's visit to Japan, reflecting the Koreans's expectations that Merkel's commandments can see the international appearance of Japan internationally.。
