Tochak Waegu
''Tochak waegu'' () or ''To-wae'' for short, is a South Korean political insult used mainly by South Korean leftists against South Korean conservatives who are perceived to be pro-Japanese. ''Tochak waegu'' is similar to the terms ''maegukno'' () and ''minjok banyeokja'' (). Political position In South Korea, liberals and leftists are more anti-Japanese than conservatives. The term is commonly used to criticize South Korean conservatives' relatively favorable foreign policy towards Japan. It is also used as a derogatory expression for those who sympathize with the Japanese right, and those who are perceived as too lenient towards Japan, even if they are also anti-Japanese. Therefore, "''tochak waegu''" are considered to be race traitors. Some South Korean scholars argue that in South Korea, defending the policies of the Empire of Japan or espousing historically revisionist views of Imperial Japan should be criminalised, which, according to them, would have the same legitima ...

Jjokbari
''Jjokbari'' ( ko, 쪽발이, borrowed into Japanese as ja, チョッパリ, '' romaji'' choppari) is a Korean language ethnic slur which may refer to Japanese citizens or people of Japanese ancestry. According to one survey, it was Korea's second-most commonly used slur against Japanese people, ahead of ''wae-nom'' () and behind ''ilbon-nom'' (). Origin The original meaning is "A cloven foot". ''Jjok'' means a "piece" and ''bal'' means "feet" in Korean, and when combined it roughly translates to "split feet" or "cloven hoof". This etymology refers to the fact that the Japanese wore ''geta'', a traditional Japanese wooden sandal, which separates the big toe from the others. Unlike Korean-style straw shoes which completely cover the foot, Japanese-style straw shoes and wooden ''geta'' consist of only a sole and straps to bind it to the sole of the foot. This leaves the rest of the foot exposed, including the "split" between the toes. Koreans thought of Japanese shoes as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chinilpa
''Chinilpa'' ( ko, 친일파, lit. "pro-Japan faction") is a derogatory Korean language term that denotes ethnic Koreans who collaborated with Imperial Japan during the protectorate period of the Korean Empire from 1905 and its colonial rule in Korea from 1910 to 1945. The term is distinct from ''ji-ilpa'' (Hangul: 지일파; Hanja: 知日派, lit. "knowledgeable-about-Japan faction"), which has a politically neutral connotation. ''Chinilpa'' was popularized in post-independence Korea for Koreans considered national traitors for collaborating with the Japanese colonial government and fighting against the Korean independence movement. ''Chinilpa'' also applies to Koreans that had sought greater alliance or unification with Japan in the last years of Joseon Dynasty, such as Iljinhoe and the Five Eulsa Traitors. Prosecution of ''chinilpa'' gained increasing support in South Korea after the gradual democratization during the 1980s and 1990s, and the first anti-''chinilpa'' legislati ...

''The Hankyoreh'' (, literally "The Korean Nation" or "One Nation") is a centre-left liberal daily newspaper in South Korea.

Hong Se-hwa
Hong Sehwa is a South Korean journalist and former New Progressive Party delegate. He is known as a representative South Korean socialist. Hong criticizes imperialism and nationalism, according to the socialist perspective. Critical of anti-Japanese sentiment Hong evaluates that both extreme right-wing anti-North Korean statist " conservatives" and anti-Japanese nationalist " liberals" are nti-socialistconservatives, and that true progressives or leftists have never had a government in South Korean politics. Hong Sehwa is critical of South Korean liberals' anti-Japanese nationalism. He sees liberals using radical rhetoric that appears to be anti-imperialist on the outside, ironically curbing the growth of the South Korean socialist movement. He thinks neither Japanese conservative-nationalists nor South Korean liberal-nationalists speak for working class. He takes the view that the term "Japanese imperialism" is somewhat exaggerated by liberals, and liberals compromise ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
