The degree of favorable impression of South Korea in Southeast Asia has hung low.The "bride problem" which was married to South Korea from Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. is aggravating, and also the tyrannical speech and conduct of South Korean companies or a Korean boom idol serve as the ignition point, and a national image gets worse.It is said that quiet anger has spread.What on earth has happened in the leading export destination of Korean boom culture?

Results of an investigation shocking for a South Korean were released at the end of last month.

Professor Hung chunmin of a Hanyang university Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand,When it heard "it is a South Korean 3 nation national image in the daytime" for 200 persons in Vietnam and five nations of Indonesia, respectively, while Japan was 6.02 points among seven-point full marks, South Korea was 5.55 points and China was 4.62 points.The South Korean paper "Choson Ilbo" (Japanese electronic edition) reported.

Why is South Korea also unpopular although it can be understood that China which strengthens the hegemony in South China Sea is disliked?

A journalist, Mr. Katsumi Muroya, who serializes "newBad Korea theory" in evening-paper FUJI "when it says at a word, South Koreans' behavior is bad.He looks down on and boasts of Southeast Asia, and the businessman of the South Korean company which advanced to Thailand or Vietnam explains that the problems of knocking local labor have occurred frequently."

Mr. Muroya indicates again that the bride problem from Southeast Asia has also had serious influence.It is regarded as questionable in each country that the man of the South Korean farm village part who worries about lack of women to marry farm men paid the referral fee to the contractor who hangs up the catchphrase of "not escaping by any means", married the woman from Southeast Asia, and has forced it extremely hard labor.

It decided on the measure in which the Cambodia government forbids marriage with a South Korean male temporarily in 2010.The Vietnam government also sets about toughening of regulations, and, these days, it is said that the Kyrgyz government of Central Asia protested against the South Korean ambassador.

There was also the South Korean idol group's scandal in 11 involving the flood which occurred in Thailand.Although it was good till the place where the member of the group offered money support by the video sharing site "You Tube", it quarreled with "it is ? how much", "7000 won (about 630 yen)", etc., and せせら笑う姿 was exposed to criticism from the Thailand people.

But Southeast Asia is one large consumer city of Korean boom culture.By investigation which Hakuhodo released in May, this year, when "favorite music, the movie, and the drama" were heard in the city of six nations in Southeast Asia, South Korea had won any section quite easily to Japan.

Professor above-mentioned Hung [ probably for this reason ] "although a Korean boom is mainly popular among a woman or a student, the middle-aged and the elderly do not not much have familiarity.The reason for a national image downturn is analyzed as the middle-aged and the elderly still evaluating highly Japan which finished a success in every direction" etc.

Completely, although it seems that it is bragging "Japan can be passed if a change of generation progresses", don't "badness of behavior" and a "bride problem" take into consideration?
