This post is trending because it touches on a sensitive topic for Koreans: travel to Japan, which often brings up complex historical and national sentiments. The aunt's strong and unusual aversion to visiting Japan, despite being a well-traveled individual, sparks debate on personal choice versus collective memory.
우리 친이모 50대이시고 그렇게 해외여행을 많이 가봤지만 아직 일본 중국 대만 홍콩은 한번도 가본적 없음
궁금하지도 않고 가고싶지도 않고 70대 되서도 갈 일 없다고함
노인이 되고 멀리 못 가면 동남아랑 괌을 가지
일본 중국 대만 홍콩은 절대로 가기 싫다네
남미랑 아프리카도 가본적 있으면서 아직 일본은 가본적 없음
아프리카 남미도 가본적 있는데 아직 일본은 가본적 없는게 신기함
근데 주변 국가들 다른곳은 몰라도 일본은 가볼만 하지 않나?
일본은 누구나 다 가는곳이고 일본 가본적 없는 사람 찾기가 더 힘든데
솔직히 여행 좋아하는 사람이면 일본은 필수코스라고 생각함

Honestly, I get her. Some things just don't sit right, no matter how 'popular' a destination is. Respect her choice!
But Japan has so much good food and culture! It's a shame to miss out just because of history. Travel is travel, right?
My grandma is the same way. She says she'd rather go anywhere else than Japan. It's a generational thing, I think.
I've been to Japan many times and never felt any issues. It's a great place for a quick trip.
It's not just history; sometimes you just don't *feel* like going somewhere. Why is it so weird?
South America and Africa but not Japan? That's definitely unique, lol. Most people go to Japan first for easy travel.
Maybe she just doesn't like Japanese food or something? Not everything has to be deep.
I totally understand her. My parents also avoid Japan. It's a personal choice rooted in our history.
I mean, if you've been to Africa and South America, Japan might feel a bit... tame? She's seen the world!
It's not 'strange,' it's a valid sentiment for many Koreans. We shouldn't judge.
