Maybe. There are specific parts of the Japanese population who are particularly anti-Korean, which includes some boisterous parts of their Internet population.
If he's an easily-influenced, secluded individual with a knack for knee-jerk reactions, he may frown upon hearing it. If he's got some sense of what goes on around him and is a bit more media savvy, he probably won't care.

Looks like you managed to get a mouthful of their education.

The crimes committed through Japan's occupation of Asian states are very real, but keeping that grudge alive for 70 years takes hard work, if through systematic means.

People love thinking on the basis of "we vs them", and there are a myriad of sources who would love to take advantage of this for their own goals, whether to strengthen their support base or expand their ideology.
This includes governments, media outlets, political orgs, advocate groups, etc.
Insulated folks tend to just gobble that information up, forging their opinions only on what they know.

TL:DR, well done on letting yourself becoming a judgmental xenophobe yourself, and a half-assed one at that.

I know some folks on the Japan side who has the same opinion towards Koreans (and on a similar note, Chinese). There are just some people who hate a country, some people who love it, and others who don't give a rat's ass.

I might even say most Japanese were in the third category, at least until the more modern riots, diplomatic saber-rattling and political finger-pointing that's happened in the past decade or so.
