Concerns had grown among businesses as moves to shun Japanese brands quickly spread, and cancellations of flights from South Korea to Japan increased in number.
Among Japanese firms operating in South Korea, Fast Retailing Co.'s Uniqlo casual clothing chain became one of the biggest targets of the boycott.
