The editorial said that recently they went the lengths of crying out for rewriting the constitution the way Nazis did, not content with denying the past aggression.

It went on:

Japan is taking issue with the criticism made by the people of all strata in south Korea of its history of past aggression, a clear indication of national chauvinism, the roots of crimes.

Japan is not yet forgiven for its past crimes because of the lack of its will to reflect on the crimes committed on those days.

It will be hard for Japan to shake off its disgrace of being a war criminal state unless it comes to its reason, concludes the editorial.
