Japan-themed events face backlash ahead of Liberation Day
With the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule just around the corner, a Japanese-themed festival at a theme park here is fueling heated debate online. Nijimori Studio in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province, has been holding a summer festival since July 26, which runs through this Sunday. The festival offers visitors a chance to experience Japanese culture through activities such as trying on traditional attire, attending samurai duel performances and watching parades of portable Shinto shrines, officials said. What sparked controversy are the programs planned for Friday, which include a samurai duel performance and a kimono contest. This falls on the same day as National Liberation Day, a national holiday that marks Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule (1919-1945). Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University in Seoul and an outspoken activist on issues related to South Korean sovereignty, wrote in a Facebook post that 'holding such an event on National Liberation Day goes against the national sentiment.' Nijimori Studio is a commercial facility repurposed into a theme park from a former film and drama set. Some online users, however, argued that historical issues and cultural consumption should be seen separately. 'Should every Japanese restaurant just shut down? If we start rejecting cultural exchange because of a country's past wrongdoings, what's the point of diplomacy?' one Facebook user wrote. The theme park responded to the controversy by introducing programs to mark National Liberation Day, including the reading of a celebratory message and a lantern-floating event honoring independence activists. A similar controversy erupted earlier last week when the professional baseball team LG Twins announced plans to invite 'Tanjiro' and 'Nezuko,' characters from the hit Japanese anime Demon Slayer, to throw the ceremonial first pitch at their game against the Hanwha Eagles on Saturday. The team ultimately canceled the plan amid mounting public criticism. Demon Slayer is set during Japan's imperial era, and the pattern on the main character's earrings has long drawn backlash for resembling the Rising Sun flag, a symbol linked to Japanese militarism. Amid the ongoing controversy over Japanese cultural events on National Liberation Day, demand for travel to Japan has remained steady. More than 9 million passengers traveled on flights between Korea and Japan as of July 17, marking a 9.3 percent increase from the previous year, according to the Incheon International Airport Corporation.

Seoul beckons ‘KPop Demon Hunters' lovers with special merchandise shop
The Seoul Tourism Organization announced Monday that a special shopping zone featuring Netflix's latest hit animated film 'KPop Demon Hunters' is available at the Seoul My Soul Shop at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Jongno-gu, central Seoul. According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the travel organization, the shopping space was created in recognition of the global interest not only in "KPop Demon Hunters," but also in Seoul. At KCON LA 2025 last week, multiple Seoul-themed items sold out, including Hang River bookmarks and a Namsan picnic blanket. The organization said Sejong Center's new shopping space is created based on Seoul's go-to tourist destinations — the Han River, Namsan, Bukchon Hanok Village and Seoul Forest — which were heavily featured in the animated film. A variety of Seoul landmark-inspired items, ranging from scenic magnets, mugs, reed diffusers, to coin purses and candles, are available for both local and foreign visitors. The organization shared that those who buy 'KPop Demon Hunters'-related merchandise can also receive gifts, including popular tattoo stickers and a "Haechi' fan that caught visitors' attention at KCON LA. Haechi is Seoul's mascot that is based on Haetae, the mythical, lion-like creature in Korean folklore. The city's travel organization added that new merchandise inspired by traditional Korean foods — gimbap, cup noodles and more — that are enjoyed by 'KPop Demon Hunters' main characters Rumi, Mira and Zoey, will be available in October. 'We will continue our efforts to promote tourism in Seoul by developing programs and merchandise that can allow the overseas visitors to experience Seoul — which they saw in TV series or films — in real life and create a memory that they can treasure,' Kil Ki-yon, head of the Seoul Tourism Organization, said in a press release Monday.
