The South Korean delegation posted anti-Japanese slogans in the Olympic Village. Is this the first time that Japan and South Korea have had differences around the Olympic Games?

This is not the first time that South Korea and Japan have had differences over the Olympic Games. Previously, when the Tokyo Olympic Committee of Japan made a map, it deliberately designated Dokdo (Zhudao), where there was a sovereignty dispute between Japan and South Korea, as Japanese territory. The angry South Korean Foreign Minister quickly summoned Japanese officials in South Korea to protest, and clearly emphasized that this misconduct was "intolerable".

As for South Korea, Katsunobu Kato, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan, publicly stressed that "Japan will not change the map", and made it clear that it was to annoy you Koreans. It can be seen that politicizing the Tokyo Olympics is not a precedent set by Koreans.

The purpose of the Korean delegation posting anti-Japanese slogans in the Olympic Village:

According to the report of many foreign media such as Asahi Shimbun quoted by Observer.com on July 16th, a few days ago, the Korean delegation arrived in Japan and stayed in the Olympic Village, but the Korean staff not only covered the balcony of their residence with Korean flags, but also publicly hung an "anti-Japanese slogan".

A number of Japanese media published public reports, on the one hand denying Li Shunchen's position in Korean history, on the other hand suggesting that "Korea is taking the opportunity to politicize the Olympic Games" and "provoking" Japan.

Japanese netizens even rushed to social networking sites to publicly denounce the South Korean delegation, demanding that the International Olympic Committee severely punish the South Korean team, and even ordered South Korea to withdraw from the Olympic Games. Korean netizens are not to be outdone, mocking the Japanese for being poked by a "great man's famous saying", suggesting that the Japanese will do nothing but make noise. This transnational war of abuse from a distance has not stopped until today.
