what do you see? it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the boy likes watching it on youtube. dw documentary, the faces, the dr. news ation, coming up to the south 3 and japan's new phones. those test prostate emissions of giving way to increased engagement in the 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 didn't introduce you. i believe us climbing extra volcano to offer

tributes in the home of good luck. the high branch manager, you 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 subsidy and president unit 6 year old and japanese prime minister from york is she 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 and recent years. know this from boy in korean. comedian is leading a cultural turner road is a, i just had a car that was part of the job. today's in south korea is kim kim, looks japanese alter ego tanika has helped to lighten the mood between these 2 neighbors. doing it with psalms and jokes. office, but also what he'd done was that i'm there for young people like us. we don't think about reasons to be friends. we just become friends. and then 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 hey, sympathetic portrayal has become an online here. he has a 100000 subscribers on youtube. turning in to watch tanika devour korean snacks

on saturdays in spain to see him live and pass in on state. still i see his die hard funds see his success has done much to heal the historic rest in recent years or the airborne will not have enjoyed the japanese cultural since i was young and i hope people on. so when i reminded about japan and hope it can be an opportunity to unite, how can i cut on cuba as soon as soon as i was looking for when he gets home, 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 due to the atmosphere, some overlap on over to him as well to go clinical present level to as this all like between the 2 countries goes back to the era of japanese colonial rule,

and in particular, the exploitation of women, women like li, young suited to are forced into sexual slavery and the 1940s says it feels like they'll do them. and when they are, they must apologize and provide compensation by far, early examining the comfort women issue to humble who ren military process. so this is the dependent in the, the most city that turned into trade disputes at the national level and sweeping boy coats of goods via 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. and 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'll get along well with each other. if these polls are indeed becoming friends again, it's no small thanks to the healing power of culture. and joining me not the more context is john lee. he's an editor at the career pro, a website focused in 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 as 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 clothes, dropped the sewage japanese brands in general. and so this is helping to improve relation somewhat between the down of people to people level ernest on the green, south korea and japan has always been overshadowed by the japanese occupation of korea that ended with the end of world war 2. you stop at told a relevant to how younger south koreans perceive 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, but it's always still there. and so whether you're talking about the, the war crimes or, and the occupation of japan conducting career in the 1st half the 20th century, all of that is still part of software has the history history curriculums. and so

that will never totally disappear and might have weeping, but it will not be done monthly 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 upfront 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 and she was 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 she needs to pursue a closer relationship with the western countries with the democracies of the role. and that includes japan. and so he is convinced that pursuing the taunts with japan is 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 religion with us off for you. we have to remember that he wants to foreign minister the time when for president fucking and former japanese patent possessions of hobby came up with this. supposed to be final, 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 use of 3, a key has been burned before when soft 3, a suddenly turned around and decided that those deals were no longer relevant. and so whereas he is reciprocating presentations on y'all's olive branch, he might not be as gung ho about it. uh, but all the, any deals strategic needs that are more pressing this time around. that brings in japan and south korea together. the most certainly the,

but with the rise of china and china becoming more searches and with the rise of will board diplomacy as people are on the single of 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, haven't they have a lot of commonalities 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 there's 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 . it as a different matter altogether because we got to remember that china has always been there when we talked about 510 or 12 years ago. china, it has been

a rise economy. but in the past, south korea japan have still turned away from each other despite the rising china at the time as well. so we'll discontinue that remains 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. not 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 nation, 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 the might change support,

he has not indicated that he will, but in politics it's anyone's gonna guess john will leave it there for the time being. thank you so much for joining us today. johnny. thank you very much. and indonesia, thousands of him to wash your 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 her fault of an ancient from the just ritual during me to please the gods housing 50 for these got the at the same of this active was, can worship us from the king. good tripe and indigenous group in eastern java play mount from each year to sacrifice some of their belongings from god. he did good use and some like disability or can afford to sacrifice the quote to the smoking. great. it's a way for the religious to offer that try to do to their gods. we
