Young Japan Loves South Korea More Than Their Own Anime
In a stunning statistic from the Far East friendship market, a whopping 66% of South Korean youths aged 18 to 29 actually like their Japanese counterparts, who return the favor with an even more enthusiastic 72.5%. These figures, collected with no apparent bribe or diplomatic summit, come as a surprise to anyone who thought the regional rivalry was eternal and melodramatic. It’s as if both generations forgot decades of historical grudges and decided, 'Hey, maybe we’re more alike than we thought.' Meanwhile, older folks are probably still clutching their analog TVs and old grudges. The data points from Japan and South Korea prove that young adults are better at liking neighbors than anyone else—America, take note.

When 70% of Japanese and Korean millennials get along, you wonder what elder generations have been doing besides watching soap operas and sharpening grudges.
If young Koreans and Japanese can be best buds at 20, imagine what we could accomplish if diplomats stopped attending angry karaoke sessions.
