the tire 34 years. i was a middle i didn't know what has the best now i know the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on d w. the business the dr. news ation coming up to the south 3 and japan's new phones close this for us to the emissions of giving way to increased engagement in recent months. driven in followed by appreciation of each other's culture. but most of the larger reasons behind this rep for small between the east asian nations. we haven't sold for answers and an individual,

i believe us climbing active volcano to of attributes and the whole of good luck the i did. i just wanted you, you're welcome to the the news aisha. glad you could join us. the past few months have seen increased diplomatic activity between japan and south korea on a scale not seen in yes, south 30 and president unit 6 year old and japanese prime minister from york issue to have visited each of those countries. and senior defense officials met just last week in single full diplomatic engagement that appears to have sizable support. according to a survey, especially among young people and culture appears to be at the core of that engagement. rage pull tests, a product boy called

a national trade disputes relations between japan and south korea have been on the rocks in recent years. no. this from boy and korean comedian is leading a cultural turner road is a, i just had a car that was put in a job. today's, in south korea, this is kim, kill. oops, japanese alter ego tanika, has helped to lighten the mood between these 2 neighbors. doing it with psalms and jokes office by total, the demons that i'm doing for young people like us, we don't think about reasons to be friends. we just become friends. and so what about those reasons? why we don't become friends of someone because they have such and good qualities, but because with the same people, i don't do any settings looking at it the same. his sympathetic portrayal has become an online here. he has

a 100000 subscribers on youtube. turning in to watch tanika devour koreans not on saudis is paying to see him live and pass in on stage till i see his die hard funds. see his success has done much to heal the historic rift in recent years. or the airborne will not have enjoyed the japanese cultural since i was young. i hope people on. so when i reminded about japan and hope it can be an opportunity to unite and i couldn't hear about this and as soon as i started talking, so we got some, there is a social atmosphere that sort of encourage boycotting of japanese culture on. so i was reluctant to talk about japan, olga perez, or after time because therapy on youtube, the atmosphere is more of like, uh, over to him as well. get plenty of protein level to is this all like between the 2 countries goes back to the era of japanese colonial rule. and in particular,

the expectation of women, women like lee young suited to are forced into sexual slavery and the 1940 tons of use. i have to lose them. and when did they must apologize and provide compensation by far, early examining the comfort women issue to humble who ren military process. so this is to depended on the most city, but turned into trade disputes at the national level and sweeping boy coats of goods. be a fashion i'm tech brands, all in the firing line. that's changed. know, with depends a saw hebrew back in favor again. much to the pleasure of being lovers. well, how about if there's something to apologize for?

it's right to get an apology from japan, but i think we don't need to be hung up on that and treat them badly as neighboring countries or young people hope that we will get along well with each other. if these polls are indeed becoming friends again, it's your small thanks to the healing power of culture. and joining me now for more context is john lee. he's an editor at career pro, a website focused on south korea's foreign and domestic affairs. john, what role would you say is culture playing in bringing young people from south korea and japan closer? well, we have to consider that culture has always been a very important part between korea and japan. japanese movies drop these pop songs, a animated comic books. these have always been very popular in korea and recently with a slight saw in the relations between the 2 countries. the younger greens,

especially, had been more willing to purchase a japanese close, dropped the sewage japanese brands in general. and so this is helping to improve relation somewhat between the people to people, level international refrain, south korea and japan has always been overshadowed by the japanese occupation of career that ended with the end of world war 2. used up at told a relevant to how young the south koreans perceived japan. well, i wouldn't say that it is complete absence. well, younger south koreans might not be as invested in the past events as well. generations might be, it's always still there. and so whether you're talking about the, the war crimes or, and occupation that japan conducting career in the 1st half the 20th century, all of that is still part of south priest, the history history curriculums. and so that will never totally disappear. and

might have we been, but it will not be done. a big thing. we're talking about young people next talk about the leaders of both countries who met frequent during the past few months alone and talked of improving ties. what's behind that? these are rep for our small as well. let's start with the soft green president of presidents on the order is a little different from most of the conventional politicians. whereas most politicians would be very intuitive. concerned about the approval ratings presentations on the on relatively doesn't seem to care all that much. she is very much an idealist. keith, driven by his idealism and his ideals dictates that he needs to pursue a closer relationship with the western countries with the democracies of the world . and that includes japan. and so he is convinced that pursuing the talk with japan does the right thing to do. and so that's where he's at right now. as we cross the

seo, depending a talk about the community she to she is much more cautious in approaching as his religions with us off for you. we have to remember that he wants to foreign minister the time when for president fucking and former japanese problem discussions of hobby came up with this supposed to be final and it reversible deal to oversee, to complement and problems that occurred in the past. and so because he was a japanese more minutes at the time who punched chalabi to pursue this new soft area he had been burned before when south korea suddenly turned around and decided that those deals were no longer relevant. and so whereas he is reciprocating because it ends on y'all's olive branch, he might not be as cool about it. uh, but all the, any geostrategic needs that are more pressing this time around. that brings in japan and south korea together. the most certainly the bud. uh,

with the rise of china and china becoming more searches and with the rise of will board diplomacy as people are on the what i've seen over the past few years, there have been a lot of concerns about china is rising as a certain this in the region and the costs are 3, japan have a lot of common. so haven't they have a lot of commonality is when it comes to industries and they're competing against china right now. and of course, because they're starting a lot with the u. s. and does a lot of sheets a back and forth between washington and beijing, sold in tokyo, especially under the current governments. have all have the impotence, they have the need motivation to try to get close together. but whether or not this is going to be a long term sort of factor that will help that will keep relations improving and preparatory. that's a different matter altogether because we got to remember that china has always been there. whether we talked about 510 or 12 years ago, china, it has been

a rise economy. but in the past, south korea, japan has still turned away from each other despite the rising china at the time as well. so gold is continuing, bedroom needs to be seen. what should we be looking out for in the coming months? and the coming months of 3 is going to have a domestic election parliamentary elections. and if you look at the polls right now, a majority of soft 3 and say that they expect the opposition party to maintain control of the national assembly. now that the art stream, the bad news for president can send y'all, because if the democrats, if the opposition party, the democratic party, because they maintain control the national assembly, president use domestic policies are going to be just stop for the rest of his presidential term. and so he is going to have to try to get a numbers up. now will he trying to be more said as to what japan, if he feels that his approval ratings are not going up high enough that he feels comfortable, but next year's elections that might change support. he has not indicated that he

will, but in politics is anyone's gonna guess. john would leave it there for the time being. thank you so much for joining us today. johnny. thank you very much. and indonesia, thousands of in the washer pads have climbed an active volcano to offer tributes including live stock all in the hope that if we bring them good luck, it's all part of an ancient from the just ritual a journey to please the gods housing stuff, difficulties got the at the shame of this active was, cannot worship us from the thing. good stripe and indigenous groping eastern java play mount from each year to sacrifice some of their belongings from gaiety that booty was. and some like this furniture can afford to sacrifice the quotes to the smoking crater. it's a way for the religious to offer did try to do to get caught we
