Don't worry pal, I'll tell you what it said.
Thieves stole a couple of statues from Japanese monasteries took them to Korea and sold them.
Now they're known to be stolen but the Koreans are keeping one because they say it's originally Korean, stolen ages ago and taken to Japan.

Considering what Japan did to Koreans (and Asia & Europeans) and what they plundered, to get one back is more than Japan deserves.
The only caveat I would put on that is, if you asked, US, Australian, New Zealand & Dutch pows & civilian prisoners enslaved building the Burma railroad, they would tell you that the Korean conscript guards were the worst.
Problem easily be solve, look under the statue, look for
Made in Korea, return to Korea.
Made in Japan, return to Japan.
Made in China, return to Japan.

HOLY SHIT WHAT A SLOG
It doesn't matter how many centuries ago it was. If you steel it, you have to give it back.
Korea is being very generous to let Japan keep one. The Japanese should stop complaining.
The tension between these countries just keeps getting higher and higher. I can't wait until it evolves into a full-scale conflict.

They are crazy .

>They are crazy .
Why not just ban them from entering the country?

I don't know about that . Probably Jap has tried to keep a good relationship with them for a long time . But Korea has hammered away at Jap anyway . So Jap almost have got angry with Korea .
The education in Korea is horrible . They are teaching their children that they should hate Jap .
ex.
They make their children draw a picture like this :
