Japan's recent reports on the GSOMIA case explain the pattern of deliberate incitement by the Abe administration toward South Korea.This is what I thought I should tell you.My friend translated it for me.

Translation) Spread to the media → Counterargument → Re-counterargument… Typical of the Japanese government's "psychological warfare"
JTBC / November 26, 2019

Anchor ▶  As you can see, even after the GSOMIA is suspended, there will be constant conflicts between Korea and Japan over the contents of the agreement and apology between the two countries.If you stare at these collisions and war of nerves, it seems that you can catch a kind of pattern or a type.I will take this issue one step further with reporters.
In fact, considering these issues is a very important negotiation coming up, and all negotiations are, but the outcome depends on who holds the initiative, so it seems that both sides are engaged in such a sharp war of nerves.Looking at the contents until today (26th), it seems that the Korean government will never be at a disadvantage right now.I told you that I'm the type of person in the current pattern.Is there a part where we can sort this out?

Reporter ▷ Yes, I organized it.First, this is the first type.When the Japanese government releases what it wants to say to the media and the Korean government reacts to it, the Japanese government makes its position clear as if it had no choice but to say it.
Let me give you an example.A high-ranking Japanese media official has evaluated the negotiations as a perfect victory for Japan.
Prime Minister Abe also boasts that Japan has not made concessions.
Then, the South Korean presidential office will show a strong response.
At the same time, the Japanese government's competent ministries and agencies responded, "Why are you so excited when we announced the contents of the coordination with the Korean government in advance?"

Anchor ▶ 何 What should I say? I feel that the Japanese government and the media are working together to annoy the Korean government.

Reporter ▷ That's right.In fact, both the next type and the next type I described have similar mechanisms.
This is the type shown in the so-called controversy over apology.
As Cheong Wa Dae makes an official announcement that the Japanese government apologized for the distorted announcement, the Japanese government's position is again revealed through the Japanese media.
A senior Foreign Ministry official said directly that we had never made such an apology.
As interest grew after this report came out, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kan personally attacked the Korean government by confirming the report.

Anchor ▶ To put it the other way around, the Japanese government sends what they want to say to the media in advance.

Reporter ▷ That's right.

Anchor ▶  This seems to be almost common.

Reporter ▷ Yes, that's right. An anonymous high-ranking official is spreading the government's position.
The Japanese government first communicates their position to the media, and then the government officially reveals it when it becomes a topic of conversation.
There was a report like this today, but there was a voice within the government.
"Korea's anger is only for domestic politics," he said.

Anchor ▶ ︎ What should the Japanese government's true feelings, which have been spreading articles of attack on the Korean government?

Reporter ▷ When I asked experts about this, they asked me to pay attention to the cherry blossom scandal.
The cherry blossom scandal is...
It is suspected that Prime Minister Abe invited a large number of voters from his district to the "Hanami" event hosted by the Japanese government to make it a de facto sponsorship event.
The allegations have grown to almost gate level, and Abe's approval rating has recently faltered.
To overcome this situation, experts say the Abe Cabinet is expanding and reproducing Korean bashing by utilizing local media that are friendly to them.

Anchor ▶ The Japanese government has already claimed that Japan uses it for domestic political purposes, but on the contrary, in fact, the so-called "Sakura" scandal and the "Sakura" scandal have taken root in the Japanese language.Actually, this isn't the first time you've talked to the media about something else after consulting and agreeing with the Korean government, is it?

Reporter ▷ That's right.Many people remember the 2015 Japanese Military Sexual Slavery Agreement.
First of all, the then Minister of Foreign Affairs told Japanese reporters immediately after the agreement, "I understand that the statue of a girl in front of the Japanese Embassy in Korea will be properly relocated."
However, it was revealed that there was no such agreement.

Anchor ▶︎ You still do that, right?

Reporter ▷ Yes, that's right. It came out recently.
At that time, the Korean government agreed not to use sexual slavery for victims of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery, which was included in this year's Diplomatic Bluebook.
It turned out that this was not true either.
After the revelation, the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs came forward and explained that the official name we are using is the victim of the Japanese military Japanese Military Sexual Slavery.

Anchor ▶  Anyway, the situation seems to be similar then and now.It was reporter Jung Jaeyoon.
