Recently, I saw strange tweets from Japanese people on Twitter, and I am really sick of it. Why are they so interested in another country's script? Why do they leave Vietnam alone, which removed Chinese characters like Korea, and only harass Korea? Many of them will likely not be able to speak Korean.

1. Chinese characters are too difficult and complex. It is true that there are languages like Chinese or Japanese where it is more comfortable to keep Chinese characters, but Korean is not like that. It is natural to abolish them if possible. China and Japan also simplified Chinese characters.
2. Koreans also acknowledge that they are useful as an auxiliary script. Chinese characters are still South Korea's official auxiliary script. Compared to North Korea, which completely eradicated Chinese characters, it is less radical.

I don't know if they know the historical fact that numerous commoners who didn't know Chinese characters communicated using Hangul. In the first place, Hangul started as an alternative script that the government distributed for commoners who didn't know Chinese characters.
