Let's Close down the Hyundai plant again and maybe throw the Samsung plant in the mix as well. Oh, and while you're at it, why not all families with the last name of Sun and Park take the rest of the week off. That will make the Japanese government listen!…

One should applaud the decision of Chongju's education board that must be concerned about the safety of Japanese 'children'. The situation in Korea seems very explosive incited by Japan.
