replies: text: Mike, I've left a note at User talk:172.202.238.95 since they are the original author of the page. I certainly agree it needs surgery to disentangle the Christian POV from the actual subject of han, which of itself has nothing to do with Christianity, and that's what I'm inviting User:172.202.238.95 to do. If they don't, I will — and of course I'd rather not, because, not knowing anything about the subject, in excising the Christian evangelism, I might do harm to the explanation of han. On the other hand, I feel you went a bit too far with the , since, as Gurdonark says, it's not a total dispute: we just need to excise the POV: I substituted a  tag.

replies: text: Well Gurdonark certainly did a beautiful job; I could never have done it. (I hope we haven't bitten User:172.202.238.95 though. — Bill 18:19, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: A couple of links in the article seem dubious to me, but I'm no expert. First-- the "anti-Japanese sentiment" category. Every Korean I've asked about han says that anti-Japanese sentiments are different. Han is more an internal thing. There is a relationship between the two, and, as mentioned in the article, foreign invasions helped build up the concept of han. It seems to me that putting han in this category cheapens a concept with deeper roots in Korean thought and literature, making it look like ethnic rivalry/nationalism. (An Anglo-American analogy: I've seen han compared to "the blues" in African-American culture. Would it be right to categorize "the blues" as anti-white sentiment among African-Americans? It seems wrong to me. And yet I think the relationship between European- and African-Americans contributed much more to "the blues" than did the Japanese to han.) Second: See also: "Ressentiment" was recently added. Again, I'm not Korean, and I'm no authority, but it seems to me that han and "ressentiment" have some similarities, but that they're are different enough, and, more importantly, concepts in different societies, that "See also"ing within this article is not quite right. I would be in favor of removing both from the article. I have no strong feelings on either one-- Just putting out the questions to see what others think. Dekkappai (talk) 19:17, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: "Ressentiment" & anti-Japanese sentiment

message: I think there are a lot of insufficient explanations of the concept of Han. It's mostly explained as a deep, ingrained 'feeling.' If the explanations doesn't suffice, maybe there should be hard evidence that can possibly support the claim: i.e. statistical data that shows Koreans are more inclined to anger and other emotional issues, more protests, history of han and when the idea of it permeated in Korean society. The current info under 'History' seems like guess work of the origins and conjecture.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hychoi (talk • contribs) 18:08, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
