Not Angry, Just Korea
When confronted with such perspicacious insight as both Ampontan and the Asahi Daily display about an «infuriated South Korea», I'm reminded that by intimate acquaintance and hard lessons, that there is no such entity as «South Korea».
Adrian Buzo, in The Making of Modern Korea (2002), puts it rather prosaically, but depressingly well:
In avery important sense, then, Korean polity and culture is the sum of its individual communities, spreading outwards like innumerable, intersecting ripples on a pond to form the common historical entity we call Korea (pp. 3-4).
The waters are a little choppy right now.
