Officials of the far-right Nationalist Party of Japan held a surprise demonstration holding the Rising Sun flag, a war criminal flag, in front of the South Korean residence of the Tokyo Olympic Athletes Village.



The purpose was to criticize the Korean athletes for posting Admiral Yi Sun-sin's message to the athletes' village building.



Six or seven KMT officials held up a rising sun flag and a megaphone in front of the Olympic Village in Harumi, Chuo-gu, Tokyo, Japan on the afternoon of the 16th local time, saying, "Korea's foolish anti-Japanese operation is unacceptable," and "We should send out the Korean team.



Kazuyuki Yamamoto, a member of the Nationalist Party who took part in the protest, said, "I want the Korean team to leave Japan. If you don't like it, remove the banner immediately. Otherwise, the Japanese people will take it off themselves."



The Japanese Nationalist Party is an anti-Korean political party led by Nobuyuki Suzuki (56), who committed a stake terror attack on the comfort women statue of the Japanese military.



Suzuki is a far-right figure who defamed the honor of the victims by tying a stake with the words 'Takeshima is Japanese territory' to the statue of a comfort women in front of the former Japanese Embassy in Seoul in June 2012.



After introducing a Japanese media article through his social media that the Korean team had posted Admiral Yi's message on the athletes' village, Suzuki said, "The Korean athletes have hung an anti-Japanese banner at the athletes' village." "The Korean athletes boycotted the Olympics and quickly boycotted the Olympics." Come back,” he insisted.



The cheering banner of the Korean team, which they claim to be a swarm, has a cheering phrase citing the message of Admiral Yi Sun-sin.




The Korean Sports Council hung a banner in the residence building of the Korean athletes' team in the Tokyo Olympic Athletes' Village, citing the message of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, "God still has the support and support of 50 million people."



Admiral Yi Sun-sin left a message in the message he sent to Seonjo during the Japanese Invasion of Korea that read, 'I still have twelve ships, and I haven't died yet.' It is modeled after the production of cheering phrases.



When this content was introduced through domestic and foreign media, the Japanese media and far-right groups protested.



Japan's Tokyo Sports reported on the 15th that "General Admiral Yi Sun-sin is deified in Korea as an 'anti-Japanese hero' against Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598)."



Some Japanese also argued that the Korean delegation was engaging in political activities prohibited by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
