Anti-Abe opposition is growing in Japan,... as many Japanese have been protesting against Tokyo's economic retaliation against South Korea.<br />However,.. the far-right Abe supporters also continue to ridicule and blast the South Korean government,... deepening the rift with Japan.<br />Lee Seung-jae has more. <br /> Over the weekend,... Koreans and Japanese took to the streets of Tokyo with lit candles to demonstrate against Japan's economic retaliation on South Korea.<br /><br />"First off, I think we should overthrow the Abe administration. We need to improve our relations with South Korea with a new government."<br /><br /> About 30 minutes into the peaceful candlelit march,... a group of angry right-wing supporters appeared near the intersection,... carrying the rising sun flag,... a symbol of Japan's imperialist past.<br />Local police blocked the two sides... to prevent them from clashing,... but the right-wing supporters started to chant disgraceful comments toward the peaceful demonstrators.<br /><br />"Kick out the Koreans demanding money. Kill them "<br /><br /> Despite South Korea's boycott on Japanese goods and tourism,... Japan's conservatives continue to ridicule Korea.<br />This includes the conservative daily, the Sankei Shimbun,... which continues to applaud the Abe administration for the economic retaliation,... and has even refused to report on the South Korean boycott.<br />The broadcaster of Japan's DHC Group subsidiary, well-known in South Korea as a cosmetics and dietary supplement company, also added its voice to the far-right commentaries.<br />It claims South Koreans will forget about the issue over time, and it's better to ignore them. <br /> The president of the company has been known for his extreme comments,... even taking to his company's website three years ago to demand Korean-Japanese be kicked out of Japan. <br />Lee Seung-jae, Arirang News. <br />
