[YONHAP] Imports of Japanese beers to Korea reached a record-high of 7,985 tons in July, an increase of 239 percent on year, amid thawing Korea-Japan tensions. The figure is the highest for the period since Korea Customs Service began to compile the statistics in 2000. Boycott of Japanese products was initiated in Korea back in July 2019 when anti-Japanese sentiment peaked after the Japanese government imposed export bans on some key materials to Korea's technology industry.
