It is allowed for Korean to plagiarize Japanese things in Korea.

• It is distinctive that Koreans imitate not only the contents of the products but also the brand names and the packages.
• It’s incredible that not only the small companies but also the big companies do so.
  It does not seem to be so bad for Korean to imitate something, especially the Japanese things. It matters very little.
  They say “It’s Kenchanayo” (kwen-chan-a-yo, It’s Okay, No worries) and “The crime against Japanese is innocent (反日無罪반일 무죄).”
• Koreans think it’s no problem they say and do anything to Japan, because Japan made Korea Japanese colony. （Park Cheol-Hee, Director of Laboratory of Japanology at Seoul University, Professor at international graduate school）
  
  About North Korea’s abduction of Japanese, North Korea says, “Japan ruled the Korean Peninsula in the past, and sent many so-called comfort women to Southeast Asia. So the abduction of Japanese is no problem. (Actually Korean gathered women and sent them to Southeast Asia. They obtained much money. That accorded with the demand of Japanese military.) The past problem and the current problem are at the same level.
  A Korean blogger says, “Japan did many bad deeds in the past. So the copyright violations do not have any problem.” This thinks past problems and current problems at the same level, too. The past is not restored, but the current problem is restored. The abducted Japanese can return to Japan. The plagiarism can be stopped, and you can indicate the original names and the authors' names.
  

  The reality of the comfort women issue

  
• “Korea fatigue”
  Japanese have few interest in Korean culture except K-pop and Korean dramas. Therefore, they rarely know the existence about the Korean plagiarism. They can know that, only when a Korean discovers the plagiarism and it becomes news. And, it is almost rejected even if a Japanese sues to the Korean court for wrongful Korean conducts such as the plagiarism. Therefore, even if a Korean plagiarizes Japanese things, Japanese do not sue the Korean and won’t be concerned with the issue of plagiarism. Right or wrong, the Koreans are obsessed with Japanese everything including the political issue. The Japanese suffers from so-called “Korea fatigue” (Robert E Kelly) .

Why do the Koreans plagiarize Japanese things too much?

1. A large quantity of Japanese culture and Japanese words came to Korea, so that 70% of Korean words have come to derive from Japanese words.
   Japan positively adopted European and American culture before and after the Meiji era (1868-). As a result, many European words concerned with the science, the law, the literature, the systems such as school system or jury system, etc. were translated into Japanese using “Kanji” (Chinese characters). In Korea, they were imported as “Kanji” words from Japan. Furthermore, a large quantity of Japanese culture and Japanese words entered to Korea in the period of Japanese rule (1910-1945). In this way 70% of Korean words have come to derive from Japanese words.
   1. For example, Japanese word for “family” is “家族 [kazoku]” and Korean word is “家族가족 [kajok]” too. (The pronunciations are slightly different even if Korean word and Japanese word use the same “Kanji”. Korean language does not have [z] sound, so [z] is pronounced [j] . “Zoo” is pronounced “Jew”. Some Koreans insist they must change this into the original Korean word “食口식구” (sikku) that means “family” too.)
   2. For example, “baseball” was introduced to Japan in 1871 by Horace Wilson, an American. “Base" is “塁 (rui)” and “ball” is “球 (kyu, tama)” in Japanese. Therefore if you translate it normally, it is “塁球 (rui-kyu)”, but Kanae Chuuman (中馬庚, 1870 to 1932) translated it as “野球 (ya-kyu)”. (“野” means “field”). “Baseball” came to Korea from Japan in the Japan’s colony times. Korean language should translate it as “塁球누구 (nu-gu)”, but it’s same as Japanese, “野球야구 (ya-gu)”. The case of “football” is same as that of “baseball”. Japanese translated it as “蹴球 (syu-kyu)” and the word was introduced to Korea as “蹴球축구 (chug-gu)” in the Japan's colony times. (“蹴” means “to kick”.) （wikipedia）
   3. In the Meiji era (1868-1912), Japanese introduced the European continental law (Civil law) and translated the legal terms into Japanese. They just became Korean words.
      (Examples)

      Legal term of the European continental law	→	Japanese translation	→	Korean translation
      droit civil (civil law)	→	民法 (min-poo)	→	民민法법 (min-beob)
      droit (rights)	→	権利 (ken-ri)	→	権권利리 (kwon-ri)
      prescription (statute of limitations)	→	時効 (ji-koo)	→	時시効효 (shi-hyo)
      Inhaber (ownership)	→	所有 (sho-yuu)	→	所소有유 (so-yu)
      possession	→	占有 (sen-yuu)	→	占점有유 (cheom-yu)
      droit des obligations (law of obligations)	→	債権 (sai-ken)	→	債채権권 (chae-gwon)
      conjoint	→	配偶者 (hai-guu-sha)	→	配배偶우者자 (pae-u-ja)
      Versuch (attempt)	→	未遂罪 (mi-sui-zai)	→	未미遂수罪죄 (mi-su-joe)
      Mittäterschaft (accomplice)	→	共同正犯 (kyoo-doo-sei-han)	→	共공同동正정犯범 (kong-dong-jeong-beom)
      Tatbestand (crime-constituting condition)	→	構成要件 (ko-sei-yo-ken)	→	構구成성要요件건 (gu-seong-yo-geon)
      Rechtswidrigkeit (illegality)	→	違法性 (i-ho-sei)	→	違위法법性성 (wi-beob-seong)
      Rechtswidrigkeitsausschließungsgründe (justifiable cause)	→	違法性阻却事由 (i-ho-sei-so-kyaku-ji-yu)	→	違위法법性성阻조却각事사由유 (wi-beob-seong-jo-gag-sa-yu)
      Notwehr (right of self-defense)	→	正当防衛 (sei-to-bo-ei)	→	正정当당防방衛위 (jeong-dang-bang-wi)
      Vorsatz･Fahrlässigkeit (intention･negligence)	→	故意・過失 (ko-i･ka-shitsu)	→	故고意의・過과失실 (ko-ui･kwa-shir),

      In this way, Korean understood European and American culture (文문化화) and concepts (概개念념) through Japanese.
   4. Another example:
      • let's see the preamble of South Korea's first Constitution (1948). It is written in Korean language like this. Most of kanji words used in the article are Japanese words. This is because people who drafted this constitution had received education in Japanese.
        （Korean textbooks during the period of Japanese rule）
        

        “前文 悠久한 歷史와 傳統에 빛나는 우리들 大韓國民은 己未 三一運動으로 大韓民國을 建立하여 世界에 宣布한 偉大한 獨立精神을 繼承하여 이제 民主獨立國家를 再建함에 있어서 正義人道와 同胞愛로써 民族의 團結을 鞏固히 하며 모든 社會的 弊習을 打破하고 民主主義諸制度를 樹立하여 政治, 經濟, 社會, 文化의 모든 領域에 있어서 各人의 機會를 均等히 하고 能力을 最高度로 發揮케 하며 各人의 責任과 義務를 完遂케하여 안으로는 國民生活의 均等한 向上을 期하고 밖으로는 恒久的인 國際平和의 維持에 努力하여 우리들과 우리들의 子孫의 安全과 自由와 幸福을 永遠히 確保할 것을 決議하고 우리들의 正當 또 自由로히 選擧된 代表로서 構成된 國會에서 檀紀 4281年 7月 12日 이 憲法을 制定한다.”

        If you translate these to Japanese, they become like this.
        

        “前文 悠久の 歷史と 傳統に 輝く 我ら 大韓國民は 己未 三一運動により 大韓民國を 建立し 世界に 宣布した 偉大な 獨立精神を 繼承し ここに 民主獨立國家を 再建するに あたり 正義人道と 同胞愛により 民族の 團結を 鞏固に し 全ての 社會的 弊習を 打破して 民主主義諸制度を 樹立し 政治, 經濟, 社會, 文化の 全ての 領域に おいて 各人の 機會を 均等に して 能力を 最高度に 發揮せ しめ 各人の 責任と 義務を 完遂せしめ 内には 國民生活の 均等な 向上を 期して 外には 恒久的な 國際平和の 維持に 努力し 我らと 我らの 子孫の 安全と 自由と 幸福を 永遠に 確保する ことを 決議して 我らの 正當 かつ 自由に 選擧された 代表により 構成された 國會において 檀紀 4281年 7月 12日 この 憲法を 制定する。”

        Let’s compare Korean with Japanese translation.

        Korean	“前文
        Japanese	“前文

        Korean	悠久한 歷史와 傳統에 빛나는	우리들 大韓國民은	己未 三一運動으로	大韓民國을 建立하여	世界에 宣布한 偉大한 獨立精神을 繼承하여
        Japanese	悠久の 歷史と 傳統に 輝く	我ら 大韓國民は	己未 三一運動により	大韓民國を 建立し	世界に 宣布した 偉大な 獨立精神を 繼承し

        Korean	이제 民主獨立國家를 再建함에 있어서	正義人道와 同胞愛로써 民族의 團結을 鞏固히 하며	모든 社會的 弊習을 打破하고 民主主義諸制度를 樹立하여

        Japanese	内には 國民生活の 均等な 向上を 期して	外には 恒久的な 國際平和の 維持に 努力し	我らと 我らの 子孫の	安全と 自由と 幸福を 永遠に

        Korean	確保할 것을 決議하고	우리들의 正當 또 自由로히 選擧된 代表로서	構成된 國會에서	檀紀 4281年 7月 12日 이 憲法을 制定한다.”
        Japanese	確保する ことを 決議して	我らの 正當 かつ 自由に 選擧された 代表により	構成された 國會において	檀紀 4281年 7月 12日 この 憲法を 制定する。”

        
        
      • The current constitution (1987) does not use the kanji characters. The preamble is as follows.　（“檀紀 4281” has disappeared. Maybe Korean felt ashamed to use this expression.）
        

        “전문 유구한 역사와 전통에 빛나는 우리 대한국민은 3·1운동으로 건립된 대한민국임시정부의 법통과 불의에 항거한 4·19민주이념을 계승하고, 조국의 민주개혁과 평화적 통일의 사명에 입각하여 정의·인도와 동포애로써 민족의 단결을 공고히 하고, 모든 사회적 폐습과 불의를 타파하며, 자율과 조화를 바탕으로 자유민주적 기본질서를 더욱 확고히 하여 정치·경제·사회·문화의 모든 영역에 있어서 각인의 기회를 균등히 하고, 능력을 최고도로 발휘하게 하며, 자유와 권리에 따르는 책임과 의무를 완수하게 하여, 안으로는 국민생활의 균등한 향상을 기하고 밖으로는 항구적인 세계평화와 인류공영에 이바지함으로써 우리들과 우리들의 자손의 안전과 자유와 행복을 영원히 확보할 것을 다짐하면서 1948년 7월 12일에 제정되고 8차에 걸쳐 개정된 헌법을 이제 국회의 의결을 거쳐 국민투표에 의하여 개정한다.”

        
        However, when you apply kanji to kanji words, it is as follows.
        

        “前文전문 悠久유구한 歷史역사와 傳統전통에 빛나는 우리 대한大韓国民국민은 3·1 運動운동으로 建立건립된 대한민국大韓民国 臨時임시 政府정부의 法統법통과 不義불의에 抗拒항거한 4·19 民主민주 理念이념을 継承계승하고, 祖国조국의 民主민주 改革개혁과 平和평화 的적 統一통일의 使命사명에 立脚입각하여 正義정의· 人道인도와 同胞동포 愛애로써 民族민족의 団結단결을 確固공고히 하고, 모든 社会사회 的적 弊習폐습과 不義불의를 打破타파하며, 自律자율과 調和조화를 바탕으로 自由자유 民主민주 的적 基本기본 秩序질서를 더욱 確固확고히 하여 政治정치･ 経済경제･ 社会사회･ 文化문화의 모든 領域영역에 있어서 各人각인의 機会기회를 均等균등히 하고, 能力능력을 最高최고 度도로 発揮발휘하게 하며, 自由자유와 権利권리에 따르는 責任책임과 義務의무를 完遂완수하게 하여, 안으로는 国民국민 生活생활의 均等균등한 向上향상을 期기하고 밖으로는 恒久항구 的적인 世界세계 平和평화와 人類인류 共栄공영에 이바지함으로써 우리들과 우리들의 子孫자손의 安全안전과 自由자유와 幸福행복을 永遠영원히 確保확보할 것을 다짐하면서 1948年년 7月월 12日일에 制定제정되고 8차에 걸쳐 改正개정된 憲法헌법을 이제 国会국회의 議決의결을 거쳐 国民국민 投票투표에 의하여 改正개정한다.”

      • After all most words are Japanese, and you see the words order is almost same.
        • In 1873 Rinsho Mitsukuri (箕作麟祥) translated the French word “Constitution” as “憲法”.
          Yukichi Fukuzawa (福澤諭吉) translated it as “律例”, Hiroyuki Kato (加藤弘之) translated it as “国憲” and Kowashi Inoue (井上毅) translated it as “建国法”. But “憲法” Mitsukuri translated became established later.
        • “政治” was an old Chinese word used in Japan and it spread to the people in the Meiji era and was used as the equivalent for “politic”.
        • The word “経済” was made as the equivalent for “political economy” in the Japanese Restoration period at the end of the Edo period. It is the abbreviation of “経世済民” that means “to rule the society and save the people” in the Chinese classic.
        • It is said that Genichiro Fukuchi (福地源一郎) first used the word “社会” with the agate “society” in a paper in 1875.
        • It is said that Amane Nishi (西周) first used “文化” as the equivalent for “culture”.
        • According to wikipedia, “権利” (rights). “主権” (sovereign rights) and “民主” (republic) are the words that William Martin, the American missionary translated in his translation book “万国公法” (International Law). After “万国公法” was brought to Japan, most of new vocabulary was once settled down in Japan and they were brought back to China by Chinese students who visited Japan on the occasion of booming of studying in Japan occurred after the Sino-Japanese War. Afterwards they were brought to Korea from Japan.
          


2. The words order and grammar of Japanese and Korean are almost same.
   In addition, when you translate a foreign book into Korean, it is much easier to retranslate Japanese translation into Korean language than to translate the original into Korean. Because the words order and grammar of Japanese and Korean are almost same, and 70% of their words are from Japanese words, you can translate European books just by replacing Japanese words with Korean words. It is relatively easy like translating a sentence of German into that of Dutch. (Therefore you know that the automatic translation between Japanese and Korean is easy, when you see the web pages of the foreign language.) This is the reason why Koreans could translate the European and American books in spite of not knowing English or French enough.
   (cf. “The famous stories retold for children” made in Korea　 The Korean is still proud that the splendid complete works were published just after the Korean War. They do not know that the works are the plagiarisms of the Japanese works.)

   Japanese original Robinson Crusoe ロビンソン漂流記 (1951)		Korean plagiarism Robinson Crusoe 로빈슨 漂流記표류기 (1957)		Japanese original Arsène Lupin 怪盗ルパン (1952)		Korean plagiarism Arsène Lupin 怪賊괴적루팡 (1955)		Japanese original Deux Ans de Vacances 十五少年漂流記 (1951)		Korean plagiarism Deux Ans de Vacances 十五少年漂流記십오소년 표류기 (1959)

   The Japanese titles are slightly different from the originals, but the Korean titles are the same as Japanese. Properly speaking, the French word “Lupin” should be translated as “リュパン” not as “ルパン” in Japanese. And it should be translated as “류팡” or “류팽” not as “루팡” in Korean too. However, Korean title is the same as Japanese, because the Korean version retranslated the Japanese version.

   
   Of course, if South Korea is like this, North Korea cannot be the exception. (cf. “World masterpieces of children’s story of the animation”)

   Japanese original The Little Match Girl マッチうりの少女 (1988)		North Korean plagiarism The Little Match Girl 성냥파는 소녀少女 (2016)		Japanese original Beauty and the Beast びじょ美女とやじゅう野獣 (1999)		North Korean plagiarism Beauty and the Beast 미녀美女와 야수野獣 (2016)		Japanese original Swan Lake 白鳥のみずうみ (1986)		North Korean plagiarism Swan Lake 백조白鳥의 호수湖水 (2016)

   
   
   (cf. Korean plagiarisms・The complete works of world scientific adventure for boys and girls　)
   
   • For example, Ruiko Kuroiwa (黒岩涙香) translated “Les Misérables” by Victor Hugo into Japanese with the title “噫無情” (Ah! merciless) in 1902. In Korea it was translated with the title “噫無情희무정” later too. Of course the Korean translater re-translated Japanese translation by Ruiko Kuroiwa into Korean. (Korea・The Financial World)
     Just like this, Ruiko Kuroiwa translated “Le Comte de Monte-Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas père into Japanese with the title “巌窟王” (Cave king) in 1901. In Korea it was translated with the title “巌窟王암굴왕” later too.
   • Hanako Muraoka (村岡花子), the Japanese writer of juvenile stories translated full-length novel “Anne of Green Gables” that Canadian writer L. M. Montgomery had published in 1908. There were no Japanese who knew the Canadian writer except Hanako. She published it with the title “赤毛のアン (Anne with the Red Hair)” in 1952. She did not translate “Anne of Green Gables” as “緑の切妻屋根のアン (Anne of Green Gables)”. In around 1939, a Canadian propagator entrusted Hanako with translation of “Anne of Green Gables”. It took 13 years until publication.
     In Korea, it was published with the title “빨강머리 앤 (Anne with the Red Head)” in 1962. If you take a look at the title, you can understand that it was translated based on Japanese translation obviously. The Korean version was a retranslation of the Japanese translation of the English original. Of course no Korean knew L. M. Montgomery. Ms. Ji-shik Shin got the Hanako Muraoka's book in a secondhand bookstore and put the translation on “The mirror of Ewha”, the weekly bulletin of “Ewha girls' high school”. (Korea・빨강머리 앤 blog)
     　example

     English original　（Anne of Green Gables / L. M. Montgomery）

     “……Have you anything eatable around, Anne? I’m literally starving. Ah, I guessed likely Marilla ‘d load you up with cake. That’s why I called round. Otherwise I’d have gone to the park to hear the band play with Frank Stockley. He boards same place as I do, and he’s a sport. He noticed you in class today, and asked me who the red-headed girl was. I told him you were an orphan that the Cuthberts had adopted, and nobody knew very much about what you’d been before that.”
     Anne was wondering if, after all, solitude and tears were not more satisfactory than Josie Pye’s companionship when Jane and Ruby appeared, each with an inch of Queen’s color ribbon—purple and scarlet—pinned proudly to her coat. As Josie was not “speaking” to Jane just then she had to subside into comparative harmlessness.
     “Well,” said Jane with a sigh, “I feel as if I’d lived many moons since the morning. I ought to be home studying my Virgil—that horrid old professor gave us twenty lines to start in on tomorrow. But I simply couldn’t settle down to study tonight. Anne, methinks I see the traces of tears. If you’ve been crying do own up. It will restore my self-respect, for I was shedding tears freely before Ruby came along. I don’t mind being a goose so much if somebody else is goosey, too. Cake? You’ll give me a teeny piece, won’t you? Thank you. It has the real Avonlea flavor.”
     Ruby, perceiving the Queen’s calendar lying on the table, wanted to know if Anne meant to try for the gold medal.
     Anne blushed and admitted she was thinking of it.
     “Oh, that reminds me,” said Josie, “Queen’s is to get one of the Avery scholarships after all. The word came today. Frank Stockley told me—his uncle is one of the board of governors, you know. It will be announced in the Academy tomorrow.”
     An Avery scholarship! Anne felt her heart beat more quickly, and the horizons of her ambition shifted and broadened as if by magic.

     Hanako Muraoka’s translation (1952) 「……なにか食べる物ある、アンAnne？ あたし文字どおり飢えかかっているのよ。きっとマリラMarillaが、お菓子をいっぱい荷物に入れてよこしたにちがいないと思ったもんで、それでやってきたのよ。 そうでなければ、フランクFrank・ストックリーStockleyといっしょに、公園へバンドの演奏を聞きにいってたところなのよ。 フランクFrankは、あたしとおなじところに宿をとっているの。そりゃ愉快な人よ。 きょう、クラスclassであんたを見たんですって。そして、あたしにあの髪の赤い子はだれだってきいたもんで、あたし、あんたが孤児でクスバートCuthbert家に引きとられたんだってことや、あんたがそれまでどんなことをしていたのか、だれもよく知らないってことを話してやったのよ」 ジョシーJosieといっしょにいるより、かえって一人で泣いていたほうがましなんじゃないかとアンAnneが思っているところへ、ジェーンJaneとルビーRubyがやってきた。 二人ともクイーンQueen学院の色のリボンribbon　―　紫と真紅　―　を胸につけて得意になっていた。 ジョシーJosieはジェーンJaneと「口をきかない」状態にあったので、ジョシーJosieはいくぶんおとなしくなった。 「ああ、あたし、けさからもう何カ月もたったような気がするのよ。帰ってヴァージルVirgil（訳注　古代ローマ人の詩人）の勉強をしなくてはならないんだけれど　―　 あのいやなおじいさんの教授があすの最初のクラスclassに、二十行やってきなさいっていうのよ。でも、どうしても今夜ばかりは、おちついて勉強なんかにかかれないわ。 アンAnne、あんたも泣いたんじゃないの？白状なさいよ。そうしたら、あたしも安心するわ。だってルビーRubyがくるまえにさんざん、涙を流してたんですもの。」 だれかほかにもおばかさんがいるなら、あたしもおばかさんだって、たいしてかまわないものね。 あら、お菓子？小っちゃいのを一つちょうだいな。ありがとう。ほんとにアヴォンリーAvonleaのかお香りがするわ」 ルビーRubyは机の上にクイーンQueen学院の学事暦がのっているのを見て、アンAnneが金メダルmedalを目ざしているのかどうかを知りたがった。 アンAnneは顔をあからめて、そのつもりだと答えた。 「ああ、それで思い出したんだけど。」とジョシーJosieがいった。 「クイーンQueenにも結局、エイヴリーAvery奨学金が出ることになったんですって。きょう、その知らせがきたのよ。 フランクFrank・ストックリーStockleyが教えてくれたの　―　あの人の叔父さんが理事の一人なんですって。学校では明日、発表になるでしょうよ。」 エイヴリーAvery奨学金！ アンAnneは胸が高鳴り、野心の地平線がたちまちのうちにひろがるのを覚えた。		Ji-shik Shin’s translation (1962) “……무엇 먹을것 있니？ 앤Anne. 난 그야말로 기아상태飢餓状態라니까…… 아마 너에게는 반드시 말리라Marilla가 싸보낸 먹을 것이 가뜩 있으리라고 생각했기 때문에 온 거야. 그렇지 않었더라면 후랑크Frank・스톳크리Stockley하고 같이 공원公園으로 놀러갈려던 참이다. 후랑크Frank는 나하고 같은 집에 하숙下宿하고 있는데 아주 유쾌愉快한 사람이란다. 오늘 반班에서 너를 봤대. 그래 나에게 저 기 있는 머리가 빨간 애는 누구냐고 묻겠지, 그래서 네가 사실事実은 고안데 말리라Marilla가 맡아 길러주고 있다는 말을 내가 해주었지. 머.” 죠시Josie하고 같이 있는 것보다는 차라리 혼자 울고 있는 것이 몇배倍나 낫겠다고 생각하고 있는 때 졔인Jane과 루비Ruby가 왔다. 두사람 다 퀸Queen학원学院을 상징象徴하는 색色리봉ribbon인 보라색色과 진홍眞紅색色을 가슴에 달고 의기양양意気揚揚해 있었다. 졔인Jane과 죠시Josie는 ＜말을 하지않는다＞라는 상태状態에 놓여있었기 때문에 죠시Josie는 좀 얌전해졌다. “정말이지 난, 오늘 아침부터 벌써몇 개월이 지난간 것같은 기분気分이라니까. 사실事実은 집에 돌아가, 봐아질Virgil의 시공부詩工夫를 해야한단다. 글쎄 베기싫은 할아버지 선생先生이 내일 첫시간初時間까지 스무줄을 예습予習해 오라는 숙제宿題를 내주셨어. 하지만 아무리 애를 써도 오늘 저녁만은 공부工夫가 되어야 말이지. 앤Anne, 너도 울었구나! 사실事実대로 말해봐. 그렇다면 나도 안심安心하겠어. 나도 글쎄 아까루비Ruby가 오기전까지 혼자서 얼마나 울었는지 몰라. 그런데 너도 울고 있었다면 나혼자만 바보 취급되는 것이 아니니까 별문제別問題거든. 어마나 과자菓子구나! 작은 것으로 한게만 주어. 고맙다. 정말 이 과자菓子는 아봔리Avonlea의 향기香氣가 난다. 루비Ruby는 책상冊床 위에 퀸Queen학원学院의 학사력学事暦이 놓여 있는 것을 보고 앤Anne에게 금金메달medal을 목표目標로 하고 있느냐고 물었다. 앤Anne은 얼굴을 붉히면서 그런 작정作定이라고 대답對答했다. “그 말을 하니까 지금 생각나는데 ”라고 죠시Josie가 말했다. “퀸Queen학원学院에도 결국結局 에이보리Avery장학금奨学金 배당配當이 나왔다는구나, 오늘 그 통지通知가 왔어. 후랑크Frank・스톳크리Stockley가 말해 주었어. 그애의 아저씨가 그 장학회奨学会의 이사중理事中의 한사람이래. 학교学校에서는 아마 내일 정식正式으로 발표発表할 것야. ” 에이보리Avery 장학금奨学金！ 앤Anne은 가슴이 갑자기 높이 뛰었고 야심野心의 지평선地平線이 순식간瞬息間에 널리 퍼지는 것을 의식意識했다. This writes, “Author L. M. Montgomery, translator Ji-shik Shin”. The readers will misunderstand that Ms. Shin translated the English book. There is the name of Hanako Muraoka nowhere.
     Hanako Muraoka’s translation ルビーRuby は 机の 上 に クイーンQueen学院 の 学事暦 が のって いる の を 見て、 Ji-shik Shin’s translation 루비Ruby 는 책상冊床 위 에 퀸Queen학원学院 의 학사력学事暦 이 놓여 있는 것 을 보고 アンAnne が 金メダルmedal を 目ざして いるのかどうかを 知りたがった。 앤Anne 에게 금金메달medal 을 목표目標로 하고 있느냐고 물었다. アンAnne は 顔 を あからめて、 その つもり だと 答えた。 앤Anne 은 얼굴 을 붉히면서 그런 작정作定 이라고 대답對答했다. 「ああ、それで 思い出したんだけど。」 と ジョシーJosie が いった。 “그 말을 하니까 지금 생각나는데 ” 라고 죠시Josie 가 말했다. 「クイーンQueen に も 結局、 エイヴリーAvery奨学金 (配当) が 出ることになったんですって。 “퀸Queen학원学院 에 도 결국結局 에이보리Avery장학금奨学金 배당配當 이 나왔다는구나, きょう、 その 知らせ が きたのよ。 フランクFrank・ストックリーStockley が 教えてくれたの　―　 오늘 그 통지通知 가 왔어. 후랑크Frank・스톳크리Stockley 가 말해 주었어. あの 人 の 叔父さん が (その奨学会の) 理事の 一人 なんですって。 学校 で は (多分) 明日、 (正式に) 発表になるでしょうよ。」 그 애 의 아저씨 가 그 장학회奨学会의 이사중理事中의 한사람 이래. 학교学校 에서 는 아마 내일 정식正式으로 발표発表할 것야. ” エイヴリーAvery奨学金！ 에이보리Avery 장학금奨学金！ アンAnne は 胸 が 高鳴り、 野心 の 地平線 が たちまちのうちに ひろがる の を 覚えた。 앤Anne 은 가슴 이 갑자기 높이 뛰었고 야심野心 의 지평선地平線 이 순식간瞬息間에 널리 퍼지는 것 을 의식意識했다.

     The Korean translation is just replacing each Japanese word with that of Korean. It’s very easy. （The English original text has neither “아마(maybe)” nor “정식正式으로(officially) ”.）
     It does not take much time to translate into Korean. Ms. Ji-shik Shin received the Korean Order of Culture later.

     Cho Guk, the former Minister of Justice’s thesis for master degree（a part of the thesis） (1989)

     “Outline of the laws of Soviet Union” 「ソビエト法概論」 / 有斐閣Yuhikaku (1983) Author: 藤田勇 (Fujita Isamu) “Study of criminology history of Soviet Union” 「ソビエト犯罪学史研究」 - 成文堂Seibundo (1985) Author: 上田寬 (Ueda Kan) “Outline of the laws of Soviet Union” 「ソビエト法概論」 / 有斐閣Yuhikaku (1983) 「十10月革命のばあいについていえば、プロレタリアートProletariatも農民も同じようにそれぞれの階級法をたずさえて革命にいたったのであった。 それゆえにこそ、裁判所に関する布告のこうした表現は、すでに革命前にプロレタリアートProletariat法が存在していたことを確認したものにほかならない、というのである。」 “Study of criminology history of Soviet Union” 「ソビエト犯罪学史研究」 - 成文堂Seibundo (1985) 「刑法典における各則とは、国家により法律の強制的形態において禁止された社会関係の侵犯の一覧表である。 社会の各構成員は、いかなる社会関係が国家により保護され、いかなる侵害が禁止されているのかを知らねばならず、 そのため犯罪の一覧表は可能なかぎり網羅的・体系的でなければならない。 社会の各成員はまた、禁止された行為の実行がいかなる結果を伴うかを知らねばならない。 そのために,刑法典は普通、構成要件とそれに対応する「制裁」を伴った各則部分を持つのである。」

     Thesis for master degree (1989) - Cho Guk, the former Minister of Justice “10월月 혁명革命 당시当時 프롤레타리아트Proletariat도 농민農民도 똑같이 각각의 계급법階級法을 가지고 혁명革命에 맞이하겠다는 것이 된다. 따라서 재판소裁判所에 관関한 포고布告의 이런한 표현表現은 이미 혁명전革命前 프롤레타리아트Proletariat법法이 존재存在하고 있었던 것을 확인確認한 것에 다름아닌 것이 된다.” “형법전刑法典에서의 각칙各則은 국가国家에 의해 법률法律의 강제적強制的 형태形態로 금지禁止되는 사회관계社会関係의 침범侵犯의 일람표一覧表이다. 사회社会의 각各 구성원構成員은 어떠한 사회관계社会関係가 국가国家에 의해 보호保護되고, 어떠한 침해侵害가 금지禁止되고 있는가를 알지 않으면 안되고, 그것을 위한 범죄犯罪의 일람표一覧表는 가능可能한 한 망라적網羅的·체계적体系的이어야만 한다. 또한 사회의 각各 구성원은 금지禁止된 행위行為의 실행実行이 어떠한 결과結果를 수반随伴하는가를 알아야만 한다. 이를 위해서 형법전刑法典는 대개大概 구성요건構成要件과 그것에 대응対応하는 ‘제재制裁’를 수반随伴하는 각칙各則 부분部分을 가지는 것이다.” On April 4, 2019, the Korean study inspection center said, “it was confirmed that Cho Guk had just used 33 places from the Japanese books without the appropriate quotation indications”. （Korea・ChosunIlbo）

     The Korean translation is just replacing each Japanese word with that of Korean. It’s very easy. This is just like a machine-translation. It is not a translation, but a plagiarism of Japanese translation.

3. Imitating the Japanese culture produces value and money.

It has been widely known to Koreans in this way that imitating the Japanese culture produces value and money. So Korea has got into the habit of imitating any Japanese thing. Therefore even now the Korean scholars, entertainers, companies, etc. are always checking anything Japanese.


• In May, 2017, it was found that a professor at the national university in Pusan had plagiarized from the articles of Japanese magazines, and his 90 books are going to be investigated. （Korea・Yonhap News）
• Most of the Korean animated cartoons were made in Japan including plagiarisms. However, the Korean believed that they were made in their own country and they watched them on TV. (Comics in the Korean memory)
  A Korean said on an electronic bulletin board, “When I was a primary school child, one of my classmates insisted that they all were Japanese animated cartoons, and he was called a liar and given a concentrated attack by all”.
• According to Korea・Chosun Ilbo, Japan is the overseas travel destination they want to go most.

   The number of the perjury in Korea is 857 times and the number of the calumny is 1,085 times of Japan’s. (Korea・Minjok Sinmun)
   The women who engaged in prostitution business in Korea amounted to approximately 270,000 and it reached approximately 1.07% of woman population (Korean National Statistical Office investigation in 2013). (Korea・Weekly Kyunghyang)
2. Korean Government-designated textbooks for junior high schools and high schools write “Dangun unified tribes and founded Gojoseon (old Korea) in B.C.2333”. But “Dangun” is a character in Korean myth that comes out for the first time in the book “Samguk Yusa” written in the 13th-century. Korean textbook says “Dangun” existed, though he appears in the book written 4,000 years later. You may say it is a lie, but it isn't. (Korean Government-designated textbook)
   If “Dangun” had existed, Korean would be happy. But where can you find such a country whose textbook can predicate that the myth is the fact, except Korea? (“Nihonshoki” (Chronicles of Japan) completed in 720 says, Emperor Jinmu, the first Emperor established Yamato State (the ancient state of Japan) in B. C. 660. But that is considered a myth, not a historical fact.)
3. Korean leading newspaper said “the atomic bombs on Japan were ‘divine punishment’” and “it is necessary to drop more A-bombs on Japan”. The newspaper was praised. You may say it is a lie, but it isn't. (Korea・Joongang Daily)
4. The judgments are carried out by feelings and emotions than law. It is said, “there is the unwritten law called ‘Korean emotion law’ that takes precedence over the constitution in Korea”.
   In 2012, statues of Buddha of Japanese temple were stolen and carried away to Korea by Korean larcenists. The statues were made in Korea in the 14th century. Korean court said there is some possibility that Japanese pirates (13th century to 16th century) stole them from Korea, so Korea did not have to return them until Korea found the evidence that Japanese temple had got them legitimately. Where can you find such a country in the world except Korea? The European continental law that Japan brought there did not seem to be able to overcome “Korean emotion law”.

   This time the Supreme Court of South Korea made a normal and commonplace ruling. This is due to the change of government in South Korea. Since the judiciary is not independent in South Korea, the court decisions depend on the administration.
   Of course, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, the Buddhist statue has not been returned to Japan (As of February 1, 2024). That is the unwritten law of Korea.
5. In 2015 the Japanese newspaper reporter who quoted Korean newspapers that wrote the criticism article of the President of Korea is charged with a crime. Besides, there was nothing to the Korean newspaper that wrote the original article.
6. In 2015 South Korea and Japan reached a “final and irrevocable resolution” over the issue of comfort women. Korea thinks that Korea can break the agreement when the government changes in 1917. According to the international law, duties and the rights on the treaty are succeeded even if the government changes. “Korean emotion law” takes precedence over international law in Korea.
