The ongoing tensions between South Korea and Japan are highlighted by South Korea's opposition to Japan's proposed constitutional amendments, perceived as a potential military resurgence. South Korea's concerns are exacerbated by Japan's refusal to acknowledge wartime atrocities from World War II. The ROK is lobbying the U.S. to exert pressure on Japan, while seeking good faith negotiations to resolve territorial disputes like the Dokdo issue. Increasing military-to-military relations aim to build transparency and alleviate apprehensions about Japan's intentions.
