Quick Glance: South Korea Objects to Japanese Leaders' Yasukuni Shrine Offerings
- South Korea expressed deep disappointment on Sunday over Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's offerings at the Yasukuni Shrine and urged Japanese leaders to show repentance for the country's wartime past.
- The shrine is viewed by Beijing and Seoul as a representation of Japan's historical military aggression due to its inclusion of 14 Japanese wartime leaders among the 2.5 million war dead honored there.
- The South Korean government calls on Japanese leaders to confront history and demonstrate sincere repentance, which would be a crucial step towards enhancing relations between the two countries.
- Despite progress in the South Korea-Japan relationship, particularly in security cooperation, the offerings made by Kishida and some cabinet members at the Yasukuni Shrine have sparked protests from South Korea.

- The depreciation of Asian currencies against the U.S. dollar and potential actions by monetary authorities are at the forefront of Asian markets.
- Post-market gains from U.S. tech giant Meta could impact Asian markets as shares dropped by 10% after trading hours.
- Concerns surrounding currencies are escalating as the dollar breached 155.00 yen on Wednesday without any indication of intervention from Japanese authorities. Will Tokyo take action?
- Given the current environment that led to a rare joint statement on exchange rates from the United States, Japan, and South Korea this month, no possibilities can be ruled out.
