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.

war crime Noun: An action carried out during the conduct of a war that violates accepted international rules of war.
The US didn't violate any rules, they even gave them warnings.
Japan violated more international rules of war at this time.

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).
