Similarities and Differences
Japan and South Korea find themselves at odds on quite a few issues, most of which are caused by difference in political values. According to David(2005), some of these differences of includes;


 * the North Korea policy,
 * South korea's nuclear experiments,
 * Japan's attempt to secure a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, and
 * Japan's new defense guidelines

Despite the difference of opinions, these South-Asian countries do have some similar characteristics and do agree on some issues such as;
 * Free Trade Agreement
 * Both countries have similar languages, which can be categorized using the humble and admiration honorific language system.

WENBO LI GROUP'S PEER REVIEW
Wenbo wan (talk)In the lead section, we think it can be added some words to show the importance of this topic. Since the topic of this article is “Japan–South Korea relations”, we think this article should contain some analysis of similarities and differences between these two countries like culture and economic. In “trade and partnership” section, some information is out of date and we think these information should be updated. What’s more, we think “trade and partnership” is a significant section, trade is one of the most important relationships between two countries. In addition, military is also an important element in relationship of countries, we think military relationship can be added to this article as a individual section and cite some data about power of military and cooperation about military equipment.

Thanks, Li for your contribution and review, we are currently editing those two sub categories under the whole topic itself, but we will definitely consider creating more sections and working on the similarities and differences of both countries. Also we will try to find scholarly articles on these aspect, and work on them. Thanks again for your review. Boluwatife lydia (talk) 22:17, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. I will consider your review when I edit the article. We are definitely going to update our information. However, we will not be able to cite some data about power of military and cooperation about military equipment because we couldn't find it(I think it is not open to public). Plus, since historic relations have been vital barrier between two countries' military relation, we will add that too. User:Hanju Bae

TRADE AND PARTNERSHIP
South Korea has tried to create a peaceful middle ground with other North Asain countries, including Japan, for business and trade because of it objective to be the "center of asain business".

This agreement has however favored China more than Japan because of its unsafe political security history with Japan, which has affected the Seoul-Tokyo economic relations. This however has lead to a decrease in trade and export between both countries; Japanese tourism is one of the big exporting services South Korea offers, but between the year 2012 and 2013 this decreased by a rate of approxiamately 23%.

According to CBS news, in 2013, South Korea banned imports of fish from eight states in Japan due to growing concerns over the fukushima nuclear power plant waste incident, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)declared the incident to be a radioactive waste a couple of years after the earthquake. However, Japan considered the ban a hostile move, leading the Japanese government to file a complaint to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in May of 2015 'claiming Seoul was "discriminating against" Japanese seafood'. So far, South Korea lost the first ruling of this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boluwatife lydia (talk • contribs) 15:21, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

MILITARY RELATIONS
Thrity-six years harsh colonial period has always been barrier to military relation between South Korea and Japan.

In 2012, it was reported that South Korea agreed to sign a military pact with Japan, possibly in response to threats from North Korea and China. The military agreement between South Korea and Japan is a military intelligence-sharing pact. However, the fact that the government tried to pass it without public discussion or debate in the National Assembly was reported by The Korea Herald. Majority of citizens, the opposition party and even the ruling party objected the military cooperation due to historical and territorial disputes and the possibility of provoking North Korea and China. Therefore, it was delayed only an hour before the signing ceremony. The reason why the government wanted to sign it was both South Korea and Japan are US allies and have their own military alliances with the United States. Plus, the US wants South korea and Japan to have their own partnership to strengthen Asia’s Alliance Triangle.

In November 2016, despite criticism from all sides, ROK and Japan signed to The General Security of Military Information Agreement(GSOMIA), which means Japan and South korea share military information about North Korea without the US.

In 2017, South Korean Foreign Minister stated that South Korea would not enter any trilateral military alliance with the United States and Japan, something that Chinese President Xi Jinping raised concerns about when he met South Korean President Moon Jae-in. South Korea has been wary of Japan’s ambitions, under its prime minister Shinzo Abe, to increase its military profile in the region. Moon stated that "If Japan uses a nuclear-armed North Korea as an excuse for its military expansion, it would not be appropriate for ASEAN nations as well."

GSOMIA is automatically extended unless either of countries wants it to be demolished. In August 2017, South Korea and Japan decided to renew the agreement.
