Memory Hook
Think of 'fan' (as in fanatic) turning against something — 'fan' + 'ki' (like key) but reversed: 反感 (hankan, 'antipathy') sounds like 'han-kan' — 'han' as in 'anti' and 'kan' as in 'feeling' — anti-feeling!
Cultural Note
In Japanese society, expressing 反感 (hankan, 'antipathy') openly is often avoided to maintain harmony. It might be discussed indirectly in media or literature to critique social issues.
