Yoon Seok-yue's "humiliating surrender diplomacy" in Japan on behalf of South Korea made the whole South Korea fry, but according to a global network report on the 21st, at the South Korean cabinet meeting that day, Yoon Seok-yue also defended himself, claiming that Japan has "apologized dozens of times" and stressed that it should "put aside the past and face the future."
(Yoon Seok-yue is speaking)
Since March 1, the anniversary of the "March 1 Movement" in South Korea, Yoon Seok-yue has done everything possible to curry favor with Japan, and even personally went to Japan to get close to Kishida Tao, in order to package "Korean-Japanese friendship". However, he packed so hard, did the result go as hoped? The answer is no, because Japan has already sent a wave of "riding face" to South Korea - Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng recently publicly denied the "forced labor" problem that South Korea has been insisting on at the scene of the Congress, and Lin Fangzheng claimed that "Japan has never forced Korean labor".

Lin Fangzheng's wave of remarks can be said to have hit Yoon Seok-yue in the face, and it is also clear that Japan has kicked South Korea's nose in the face. Today's Japan has seen that South Korea is "servile" to itself, and it has begun to boldly deny the past. Today's Japan can say that "there is no forced labor," and tomorrow Japan dares to say that "there are no comfort women."

Regarding Lin Fangzheng's remarks, the South Korean side directly broke the defense, and South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin stressed that he had expressed protest to the Japanese side through diplomatic means. However, even if it expresses its protest, the South Korean side has to "explain for the Japanese side", emphasizing that it may be caused by Japan's "narrow legal understanding".
And the timing of Lim's remarks was also sensitive, because shortly after he denied "forced labor", South Korea announced the "Settlement of Labor Claims for Abduction of Japan". It can be said that Japan is hitting the face in advance, making South Korea very passive.
("Soju diplomacy" cannot hide the differences between South Korea and Japan)
But even so, Yoon continued to carry out "humiliation diplomacy" to the end, and he proposed a "third-party compensation plan" on labor issues. This plan is also quite interesting, and the "third-party compensation" scheme has been developed, which has made all walks of life in South Korea unbearable, and many Korean groups have spoken out to refute it. Because it is suspected that Yoon Seok-yue made these actions under the control of the United States, some South Korean parliamentarians and scholars also publicly criticized Yoon Seok-yue at the congressional scene and accused South Korea of engaging in a "new cold war" under the operation of the United States.

I have to say that South Korea has shown soft bones against Japan this time, but South Korea's infighting is still quite good. When Yoon Seok-yue visited Japan, his office was outflanked by the police. And he himself in Japan, he also enjoyed Kishida's "hospitality" - did not give him the treatment of state guests, but only when he was a "work visit", the soju reception was "warm" on the surface, but in fact, the roadside restaurant coped. For Yoon Seok-yue's "humiliating diplomacy", Lee Jae-myung, a representative of the South Korean opposition party, fiercely attacked him. However, soon, the investigation against Lee Jae-myung also came, and South Korean prosecutors have indicted Lee with "malfeasance" and will start a trial.

Obviously, South Korea is now in a state of contradiction and chaos, and this is the result of being controlled and driven by the United States. Why does Japan dare to kick its nose on the face, because Japan knows that South Korea has taken the initiative to "kneel". The point is that for Yin Xiyue's initiative to curry favor, the Japanese side does not accept it. Therefore, Yin Xiyue is actually thankless, not a person inside and out. If South Korea cannot escape the control of the United States, then similar "humiliating incidents" may have to occur in the future.
