User blog comment:General tiu/So this Korean outrage is not limited to Hetalia.../@comment-96.18.6.117-20100805223951

@ ItsukoChan: You're probably right about that last part. We wouldn't even have an excuse, considering we make fun of ourselves all the time. I personally would see it, laugh and say, "Yup, they have a point," and be saying STFU to the people who were whining.

Their relations are pretty bad though... My sister in law is Korean (South?) and she doesn't hate on Japanese things AT ALL. Maybe it's just because of the resemblance and the government?
