[edit] "Nationality" of Lotte

The Korean nationalists are back again... is there no end to this silliness of changing the presidents name between Korean and Japanese? I propose that anyone who does this create an account/sign in and put their arguments on this talk page, otherwise, it'll get reverted to the Japanese name. See my earlier comment below for why I think it should stay Japanese. pogo 5 July 2005 18:10 (UTC)

Lotte was founded in JAPAN after WWII. Several years later (more than a decade, I think), Lotte Group started operations in South Korea. It would be ridiculous to assert that it is originally a Korean company, just like it would be ridiculous to assert that Computer Associates is a Chinese company because founder Charles Wang was born in Shanghai. pogo 23:50, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

LOL I should have known some Korean was going to want to change this article for seeming to indicate that Lotte can be considered a Korean or a Japanese company. Nice try, buddy, but I think this is really, really distorted the way you wrote it. --Ce garcon 04:37, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Correction, there's a whole horde of you guys here. I suspect this is somehow related to the whole Dokdo obsession somehow. :-) "Dokdo, uri ddang!" "Lotte uri huesa!" --Ce garcon 04:43, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'm proud to be a Korean. Is that a sin? Aren't you proud to be a whatever you are? Have some pride in yourself! Although Lotte is Japanese, it earns more money in South Korea. I don't mind Shin's name being in Japanese, unless it has his Korean name next to it. Just because Shin was a permanent resident of Japan does not make him Japanese. jyk777

-No, it's not a sin, but it is unfortunate if you try to introduce any bias into this article so that you can say that Lotte is strictly a Korean company to boost the Korean ego. --Ce garcon 20:32, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

My opinion: Split this entry into two; since Lotte in Japan (the confectionary company) and the Lotte in South Korea (conglomate) are not really related; they just happened to be started and owned by the same person. To say, they even have different logos. Samuel Curtis 18:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discrepencies

Some differences between the English version and the Japanese version. The Japanese version only states that the Lotte founder started business in Tokyo in 1945, started manufacturing of chewing gum using the ingredient chicle in 1947, then founded Lotte in 1948. The English version only states that Lotte was founded in Korea in 1948. The English version doesn't tell where he was doing business during 1945-1947, while the Japanese version doesn't tell where he was doing business during 1946-1948. Without reading both, one would think he was only in one country instead of both during that period. Also, I think more sections could be created for this article. —Tokek 13:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
