It may be interesting to know that as of this year Japanese has become part of the curriculum in (some) Korean highschools again. At least some 132 teachers of German language had been selected for a crash course on Japanese over the past year, and they're at their job now. So, a new Korean Japanese may evolve, which of course will not be laden with the terrors and horrors of the past.
