South Korea's boycott of Japan began with an export ban in retaliation for the ruling after the Supreme Court that Japanese companies should compensate Korean victims of forced labor. Japan Boycott was started by Koreans who was frustrated for Japanese having no remorse for their early history. Amid the debate over the boycott, I agree to use Korean products, not Japanese ones.
The act of favoring domestic goods, which has been carried out in tandem with the opposition of Japanese products, has motivated Korea to grow. A prime example is helping to achieve the development of Korea's material industry. Samsung, which used to produce electronic products from rare earth materials held by Japan, is currently developing a technology that will make products only with domestic materials without Japan's help - taking advantage of the current crisis. People say it will not be that easy, but Samsung, enough to be a pool of the nation's talent, is believed have to achieved its desired goal.
The majority of Japanese travelers are Koreans, and the number is increasing every year. With the active Japan boycott, many people are canceling trips to Japan and traveling to local resort areas such as Jeju Island and Gangneung. This image catalyzes in not only developing the nation's tourism culture but also strengthening the national economy. People often go to Japan because it is cheap and close. In reality, traveling within Korea is closer and more comfortable for communication, taking a vacation, and touring the culture. As a Korean who traveled to Jeju Island rather than Japan during vacation, I think that the boycott of Japan brings not only economic development but also cultural development, bringing great help to our country.
Of course, I agree that some Japan boycotts are moving in the wrong direction. There are some friends among elementary school students who simply act on the perception of 'Japan is bad' without knowing the exact facts or circumstances, and there are also citizens who talk too harshly to those who use Japanese goods. Though, I believe that problems caused by people who did not properly understood the purpose of Japan boycotting cannot be a reason to oppose Japanese boycotting. The media should lead and help Koreans to advance the Japan boycott in the right direction. The nation should help the country build a better economic situation under these circumstances. This is the key to turning the nation's current economic crisis into an opportunity.
Japan is the world's third-largest economy. That is why some Koreans say that it is a reckless fight and that they should surrender and build a friendly relationship with Japan. However, there is no way to end the fight without damage, and if Korea gives in without any response, we will just become an economic colony of Japan. In the past, Lee Sun-Shin put up a long story by beating 133 Japanese naval forces with 12 Panok boats.
"Now that there are still twelve fronts left for God, we can win if we fight back. If all the troops are destroyed now, I fear that the enemy will be lucky to reach the Han River through the lake. The enemy will not dare to despise us, for even though the front is small, the humble God has not died."
Without Admiral Lee's determination, we would have been deprived of our country by Japan during the Japanese Invasion of Korea and would now be living in a Japanese-speaking nation with Japanese names. Our country is now growing into an economic powerhouse. What is more, it means that it is time to fight back proudly. We should all respond politically to Japanese Abe's outdated and unreasonable preemptive attack of a political nature.
