Pat Your Husbands on the Shoulder, Japanese Ladies!

Initially I was pleased with the news--the Yon Sa Ma craze. Then thankful for heartwarming hospitality that Yon Sa Ma's Japanese fans (mostly women) would be gladly determined to offer their admiring star. And then excited over the prospect of rich financial revenues he would garner.


As days of ceaseless international passion elapsed, threads of human doubts and skepticism erupted in me. Footages of those human rush to a handsome young man of foreign nationality struck me as bizarre, in this age of sovereign states.


Has the Japanese populace come down with a strange plague, called the historical amnesia, that they had been a terrorizer, from time to time, of a peaceful nation across the East Sea? That they had dominated the peninsula as a colonizer for not less than 35 years? What if members of the fearful Yakuza family went nuts over the"heart-rending" and mind-boggling craze?


It's time you restored normality, you Japanese ladies, as human beings and as a nation. Stop for a moment and think about human dignity as a nation there. Don't mob Yon Sa Ma (Korean movie star Bae Yong Joon) anymore. Don't cross over the "police line". Don't do anything ever to hurt the pride of your husbands, your boy friends and the Japanese men in general.

I don't like to think that you Japanese ladies might be the reason. You might not be the one and only reason, but you might be one of a few reasons for the weird behaviors of the Shimaneken Prefecture City Council. Because of you, the hurt machos of your male brethren might have awaken the Samurai warrior in them and might have driven them to hit the road for the groundless territorial claim for Tokdo (pronounced Tokedoe), which has been historically, geographically and physically Korea's (Republic of) territory.

The gender counterpart of yours have been national builders. They have rebuilt your nation from the ashes of the World War II, of which you should have been proud and by which they should have deserved due respect from you. Your nation has become a huge creditor nation to almost all the nations across the world, the United States included, of course, courtesy of your male brethren. I think it's time you Japanese ladies patted your toiling husbands and boy friends on the shoulder and expressed warm-hearted appreciation for their efforts.
