Japanese media is currently facing a steady takeover by South Korea. Viewers are exposed to Korean music, drama, sports and news without a choice. The TV Station 'Fuji TV' in particular are unashamedly obvious in their bias.
Whenever a celebrity voices any kind of unease about the situation, they have been fired from their jobs and have disappeared from the media.
Freedom of speech is coming into question, and those who are seen as damaging the repuatation of Korea are at risk.
Recently, a young actor, Sousuke Takaoka, questioned the amount of air time being taken up by Korean television on the social networking site Twitter,
and was promptly fired from his acting firm and faces unemployment.
TV news programmes either ignored the incident or ran distorted reports,
slandering Takaoka. However, the issue caused hundreds of thousands to voice their support for Takaoka as well as criticising the media.
The proportion of foreign shareholders of Fuji TV is reported to be larger than 30%, maximum 40% . If this is true,
it makes it difficult to say whether it is in the public interest of Japan for foreign countries to have such a strong grip on the media.
It is not that Japan, or the Japanese population has any problem with Korea or Korean culture. However,
the problem is that the media is becoming so increasingly biased towards Korea, that even important Japanese matters are taken priority over.
The motivation is simply money, and people in Japan are beginning to feel as though their own culture is being lost in the process.
