My concerns, and the reasons for my edits, are simply the ongoing problems of Korean plagiarism and Korean encroachment upon Japanese culture. Seeing the modus operandi (the studio could evidently easily hire plenty of Japanese actors, but somehow decided to go with a Korean for the lead role), I don't think that it's fair play, to say the least. I don't want to get further into that here. If there's an issue of nationality (for example a Japanese role filled by a Korean actor), and if that issue presents a real problem in regards to sociopolitical tensions (as Japan-Korea relations do), the only way to avoid taking a side is to avoid labeling the movie with a country of origin, instead stating where it was filmed and by who. Doing otherwise will only skew the viewpoint of the article. I can agree to go back on my earlier edits, but the very least that I feel will even come close to upholding Wikipedia's standards of neutrality is to altogether avoid labeling the movie "Japanese" or "Korean". Now, my personal opinion is that Korean plagiarism, IP infringement and anti-Japanese sentiment, together with many other issues caused by these (Takeshima, the fishing boat incident, the May 2013 Osaka stabbings) are grievous crimes and should be punished by international sanctions, so I hope you can see I'm willing to compromise on this. However, calling the movie Japanese when the lead actor is Korean will only upset people with personal involvement in the sociopolitical aspects of the issue.

Sohee Park was born in Joetsu, Niigata, and also has used his Japanese name of Soji Arai. He graduated from Waseda University. Not only is this comment detestable and frivolous, it is demonstrably false. 75.139.144.179 ( talk) 14:12, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
