- 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.

- 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.
