Anti-Korean sentiment

Anti-Korean sentiment or Koryophobia describes negative feelings towards Korean people, Korean culture, or the countries, North Korea and/or South Korea.

Anti-Korean sentiment has varied by location and time. Major historical events that impacted it include the Japanese occupation of Korea, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. In recent years, sentiment has largely been impacted by politics, territorial disputes, disputes over claims of historical revisionism, economic competition, and culture.

Anti-Korean sentiment occurs in China, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam, United States and between the two Korean nations. The Korean Wave has been met with pushback in some countries, and the general sentiment on North Korea often incites negativity.
