Are South Korea and Japan friends?
South Korea and Japan have a complex relationship marked by historical tensions and disputes. Although they have strong economic ties and cultural exchange, political obstacles hinder further cooperation. The main points of tension include the issue of "comfort women," territorial disputes, and historical issues. While public opinion is divided, there is potential for future cooperation if both sides can find a way to address their historical issues with support from the international community. The United States has played a significant role in mediating disputes between the two countries but could do more to help resolve historical issues.
