The shrinkage in the deficit is due to Korean exports to Japan rising faster than imports. Between January and September, exports to Japan climbed 45.6 percent year-on-year to 29.2 billion dollars, whereas imports rose just 8.9 percent to 51.7 billion dollars.

South Korean trade deficit with Japan shrinks in 2011 http://www.chinapost.com.tw/business/asia/korea/2012/01/18/329274/South-Korean.htm
“There was an upsurge in demand for Korean goods from Japanese firms, which were slowly shifting to outsourcing but suddenly faced the double whammy of the earthquake and a strong currency,” Park Ki-im, a senior researcher of the Institute For International Trade, a think tank affiliated with the trade body, said in the report.

To say it was "orchestrated" by the Japanese is a rephrase, read exactly word for word.
"However, especially with Yu-na, other skaters always get in the way of her jump course. And the other skaters are mostly Japanese skaters."
"This has been a set pattern in every competition, so it is hard to say it is just a coincidence."
So this has been a recurring pattern here, I think they have right to complain. So I don't think Kim is a brat for bring this up. If it wasn't on purpose, then it wasn't an accident, so I think they can bring this up to prevent further problems. I don't see any harm with them bringing the issue.

roomtemperature,
it is not the Korean media, her coach was the one to notice and make an unofficial complaint.
Reporter Sung-hun Lee It is a commonly accepted practice in figure skating not to get in the way of a skater who is attempting a jump. However, especially with Yu-na, other skaters always get in the way of her jump course. And the other skaters are mostly Japanese skaters. This has been a set pattern in every competition, so it is hard to say it is just a coincidence. This "orchestrated" collision was at its worse during 4CC. Brian Orser said, one particular Japanese skater always skates in and out of the Yu-na's Jumping passes and complained about it (although the reporter didn't say he made an official complaint).
