Actually, Japan is the one with the racism issues (it had been quietening down for a while but it's had a resurgence of sorts lately and honestly, it's quite sickening). All three have strong nationalism. Many East Asian nations aren't fond of Japan due to Japan's history where they basically invaded multiple times over, committed various atrocities and (there are cases where you can find Japanese History text books where the negatively perceived things Japan has done aren't mentioned at all) and their attitudes to it.
Generally though, I wouldn't say that they'd be getting along poorly. It is a historically based thing and you do get radicals but for the most part the people you'll meet will be okay.

I FOUND IT!
I looked over KR, JP, and TW official sites. I couldn't find the related event on KR's, found JP's, however it didn't show the delegates, but TW did.

I know, it's disappointing IMO, they could've put our delegate in the pilgrim set or made ours a cowboy, not something that resembles a person that everyone will regret in about 2 years at the latest if they haven't already.

Japan is more like "whisper in the background":He's doing it wronggggggggggggg.
They generally don't like Americans being that we are obnoxious and ignore all culture in either ignorance or pride that ours is better.
Korea is more like, they walk straight up to you and say, we don't like you.

It really is just the tip of the iceberg. From what I've personally experienced (not that it counts for much), some Japanese are rather public about it too.
