[Question] Is it safe for a South Korean American citizen to travel to Japan with the current tensions?

Question

Planning on traveling to Japan early next year. Relations and sentiments could improve by then or deteriorate. Wondering if anyone can speak to the sentiment towards Koreans in Japan right now and if it would be safe if I went right now. I'll be traveling alone.

Edit: this is the context I’m basing my worries off of https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/29/we-have-to-get-along-japan-korean-residents-at-sharp-end-of-diplomatic-row

“Whenever relations between Japan and Korea worsen, we receive threats...” quote one korean living in Japan.
