Japan is dissatisfied with Lee Jae-myung's gift of a crown, and uses one sentence to counterattack; in terms of cunning, it's still more skillful!
When the American president received the golden crown model gifted by South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, his face was filled with smiles, repeatedly expressing gratitude, and eagerly claiming, "I want to wear it right now." This carefully prepared gift is a replica of the gold crown from the Tomb of the Heavenly Horse of Silla, originally excavated in Gyeongju, South Korea, and is a national treasure artifact from the Silla era royal tombs.
Shortly after this gift was unveiled, Japanese media quickly found an opportunity for a counterattack, claiming that the original gold crown was actually an accompanying burial item excavated from an ancient tomb, which had been worn on the head of a deceased king. The Japanese media claimed that South Korea's action would bring bad luck to Trump, possibly bringing him misfortune. It must be said that Japan's thinking is really ingenious.
South Korean media immediately rebutted, stating that by gifting such a gift rich in profound historical and cultural significance, it not only showcased the splendid ancient civilization of South Korea but also implied that the South Korea-US relationship is as precious and eternal as gold.
The Japanese media's accusations regarding the gold crown gift are just a microcosm of the complex relationship between Japan and South Korea. In recent years, the two countries have frequently had friction over historical issues. Now, both sides are attacking each other over a gift, which is essentially trying to curry favor with the United States, which is really hard to watch.
