#3I don't get the "as birthrate sinks and unemployment climbs". It's not like Japan is doing well there.
And Japan is infamous for its incredibly negative attitude towards Koreans...

Have to admit I am clueless about the history between these two. Why don't they like each other?

That may be, but if those statistics are the problem, going to Japan is surely not the solution.

Both countries have low birthrates, but Japan is far enough along the labor shortage curve that unemployment has been essentially eradicated in Japan. From the friendly article:
According to Statistics Korea, the national statistics office, the unemployment rate last year for people aged between 15 and 29 was 9.5 percent, compared with 3.8 percent overall and 3.6 percent for Japanese 15 to 24.
Also, Japan has a vocal far-right fringe, but the average Japanese person has no qualm with Koreans and Korean TV, music, food etc is widely popular. There are over 500,000 Koreans living in Japan, many 2nd or 3rd generation, and plenty more naturalized Japanese of Korean descent. If anything, I'd suspect there's a lot more antipathy in Korea towards Japan than the other way around...
