Didn't know this until recently.
According to Emperor Akihito:
On 23 December 2001, during his annual birthday meeting with reporters, the Emperor, in response to a reporter's question about tensions with Korea, remarked that he felt a kinship with Koreans and went on to explain that, in the Shoku Nihongi, the mother of Emperor Kammu (736–806) is related to Muryeong of Korea, King of Baekje.[6]
So let's say the Korean origin of their Emperor is more recognised and emphasised by Japan and continues throughout the centuries. How does this change Japan's perception of Korea? How does this change politics within Korea? Or any at all?
Some things to note, for users not familiar with Korean history:
Kingdom of Baekje
Yamato Dynasty
