the SEA vs. Korea internet war in a nutshell

There's currently a massive online war raging in South Korea against Indonesians in particular, and against ASEAN countries in general, including Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The conflict began after Koreans broke the law at a party in Malaysia, and it has escalated dramatically in the last two days. In the tweet in question, a Korean posted a picture of monkeys and claimed it was an Indonesian family. The bullying has reached incredibly vile levels, with Koreans using unimaginable vulgar language and engaging in unspeakable bullying. Indonesians, however, have not remained silent. The original story began after repeated complaints about the perceived arrogance of Koreans at parties in Indonesia. Koreans travel to Indonesia, attend parties, break the law, and look down on Indonesians, which finally pushed Indonesians to their breaking point and sparked the conflict. The dispute is so significant that it has made headlines in both countries, but so far, there has been no official diplomatic intervention between the governments.
