Commenting on the intense actions of some of his compatriots, Mr. Shen Rongshu said, “There really is no other way; this is how Korean people react when facing crises. Especially when facing large countries, since Korea is relatively small and weak, your run-of-the-mill protests will receive no attention.” His tone of speaking reflected his complicated feelings on the issue.
