Did you see the pictures? I don't understand why they need to let their children inherit such hatred against Japan from the children's great grandparents? I partly understand they cannot forgive those who killed their parents and relatives, but I don't think it good to teach them such hostility in public school. I would say the antipathy has not remained but been forged in their minds to create their own nationalism that their great grandparents really wanted to be against Japan and other imperialistic countries 100 years ago. If they want to make their occupation of Liancourt Rocks secure, they only have to leave the case to the World court, as suggested by the Japanese government. I'm afraid now some of the Korean children will offend and assault the innocent great grandchildren of the Japanese who colonized Korea 100 years ago, and that the South Korean government has no intention to be friendly with Japan. I would say they need it as the only available virtual enemy to encourage their people to work and study harder to get the country to be strong enough to assuage their anger and anguish against themselves in the past, who did nothing for their country. I would also say I could share those feelings, though.
You could read this to learn that the US supported South Korea to create the hostility to some degrees after the WWII.
Words are marvelous because they can work as a useful tool to explore possibilities to share with others with different views from yours.

Antiwar Pact
Japan has been trying to draft new laws in some of the international committees like NPT, that will bring about a peaceful society without any war, for it knows the stark fact that a war works as a game like soccer, baseball, just to decide which wins in a battle; so it does not help to judge which is right over a matter. Therefore, in the NPT meeting, Japan tried to make articles that will disarm some countries(China and US) and will prevent others(the countries in the Middle East, and North Korea) from using nuclear power strategically. But they refused it, for the proposition seems to them absurd in this real world. The NPT has been useless already. Japan has to get the seat of the permanent members of the United Nation Security Council to accomplish the purpose that it tried to attain in drafting the second article in the Paris antiwar pact in 1928.
