TOKYO - A letter threatening to hunt Koreans and containing what appeared to be a bullet has been sent to the South Korean embassy in Japan amid worsening ties between the Asian neighbors, Japanese media said on Tuesday.
Relations between the two countries have been overshadowed by Japan’s 1910-1945 colonization of the Korean peninsula, and recently a dispute over Korean forced laborers spilled into trade and then into security when South Korea scrapped an intelligence sharing pact last month. It contained what appeared to be bullet, the news agency said, adding that police were investigating.A member of staff at the embassy confirmed that the letter had been delivered but declined to give any details.
A Japanese art exhibition has withdrawn a statue by Korean artists representing Korean women forced to serve in Japan’s military brothels during World War Two, sparking debate about censorship.
