" Can't agree.For I've read Lee's autobiography when he was a Hyundai man in the early 90's.He was writing about when Hyundai was building one of the two towers of PETRONAS(the other was built by Japanese company) in Kuala Lumpur.That was usual "we-must-beat-Japs-on-anything-anytime-anywhere"crap. The business remains as usual in both side of the sea of Japan, no matter who would be elected. “I think you will start seeing the political side of the Japan-Korea relationship begin to mature as well if leading Korean presidential candidate Lee Myung-bak is elected. ”

Besides the above, the investigation about the present conditions of an emigrant and the crime and the outlook on nation are important, but I’m sorry that they are not included.

He has enough creditability to not have to rely on Japan bashing in order to get votes. However, I would not put it past the ruling liberals currently in power to pull the typical Japan bashing card out of their playbook in order to get votes before the election.
