Regarding the fact that Korea decided to abolish the military information comprehensive protection agreement “GSOMIA”, in Tokyo Shin-Okubo, where the Korean town is located, there were voices concerned about the deterioration of the relations between Japan and Korea.
An 18-year-old college student who was visiting with a friend said, “Sin Otabo is a good place to eat, so I often come to Shin Okubo. Korean young people are also interested in Japanese culture. I ’m worried that I ’m going to get along. ”
In addition, a 76-year-old woman from Tochigi Prefecture said, “I feel the horror that I think it will be a war and I do n’t know what will happen.
On the other hand, it has also affected Korean people who do business in Shin-Okubo.
A Korean restaurant that has been operating in Shin-Okubo for 16 years. The owner, Chou Wong Woo, came from Korea 28 years ago.
I was worried about the situation in Korea after seeing the news of the agreement cancellation on the 22nd, and when I contacted my parents, I was worried about being in Japan.
“It's okay,” he said, but the store's sales were affected, and in August the number of customers decreased by about 30% compared to the previous year.
We expect the impact will continue in the future due to the cancellation of the agreement, so we will lower the sales target next month and shorten the working hours of part-time jobs.
Cho said, “Since seven years ago, when President Lee Myung-bak landed on Takeshima, the number of passengers has been low, and the business has been severe. Young people have been visiting Shin-Okubo without change. I feel that older generations have not seen much. I want the Korean government to calmly think about what the national interest is. "
