Conclusion

• American military made 38 seconds movie over the 38th parallel matters both in Japan and Korea. While it did not generate a normal public diplomacy effect --- a positive view toward the US, the movie significantly made a difference in support for national security cooperation among South Korea and Japan, where people generally see each other very badly.

• While it may not so easy, it seems to be possible that US military informational efforts could affect positively to form the supporters of US strategy.
