Anti-Korean sentiment

Anti-Korean sentiment, also known as Koreaphobia or Koryophobia, describes negative feelings towards Korean people, or Korean culture. It differs from opposition to one of the two countries that actually exists on the Korean Peninsula (anti-South Korean or anti-North Korean sentiment).

Anti-Korean sentiment has varied by location and time. The conflicting perceptions of Koreans and Japanese about Japan's occupation of Korea often lead to dispute. In recent years, sentiment has largely been impacted by politics, military aggression, territorial disputes, disputes over claims of historical revisionism, economic competition, and culture.
