An image of Junichiro Koizumi bowing his head at the Yasukuni shrine to Japan 's war dead has been manipulated to make it appear he was kowtowing to ex- South Korean president Roh Moo-hyun .

The image circulated in misleading Facebook posts criticising ministers appointed by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for being " pro-Japanese " The "New Right " refers to a movement led by conservative figures that aim to paint South Korea's authoritarian past and the legacy of Japanese colonialism in a positive light.
