    **UPDATE** Madame Kim passed away on January 28, 2019, making this interview possibly the last sit-down interview of her 92 years on earth.
    Though she dedicated her life to the cause of helping wartime rape victims, she never received an official apology from the Japanese government. Her story will live on through her fighting spirit.
    Historically, the comfort-women issue is one of the reasons why Korea, and China, among other Asian countries, still have hostile feelings toward to Japan. But we believe that it’s in everyone’s best interest that this issue gets resolved as soon as possible so that we can move forward and work together to solve bigger problems.
    This is only possible, however, when young people become aware of all the facts and history, engage in meaningful conversations about it and take necessary action. Please share this video and do what you can to raise awareness. Thanks for being part of the Asian Boss community and stay curious

      @@San37815 you're right that they don't neccesary define the army of today, however, trying to just "move on" is what the jp government has literally been doing since, and it's not working. To move on there needs to reconciliation to ease tensions. There hasn't yet.

      I don't think it's mere desire for sex. It's using sex to subjugate women from enemy population and dehumanizing them by raping them. It's basically diminishing their humanity so the soldiers don't see anyone as innocent worthy of being protected. It's not desire for sex, it's desire to break people.

      To the far right Japanese friend who talked to me...
      The my reply didn't went you because I hung the link. So I've arranged the conversations we had.
      I am not good at English. I'm sorry about that point.
      I don't want to fight with the far right Japanese.
      The far right Japanese say "South Koreans, Chinese etc. are a liars", "Japan military sexual slavery is a prostitute". It hurts me. So I don't want to talk anymore.
      Some Japanese friends admit this and feel sorry. It really matters to us. The horrors of the Japanese military in Korea, China, Indonesia, Taiwanese, Philippines and Vietnam etc. should be judged by the keywords below. I am not going to reply any more. If you want to see the remaining historical material, please search it. It's up to you to judge.
      I know Japanese chief cabinet secretary Kono and some prime minister have apologized and tried to solve this problem. However, it is a matter of consistency and attitude. Japan's attitude changed whenever the Liberal Democratic Party politicians took power in Japan. Also, it still does not teach relevant history to Japanese children, and Japanese media ridicule Korea day after day. In addition, there is a separate "Korea hate section" in bookstores in Japan. Some Japanese saying "Japan military sexual slavery is the prostitute" in street parade.
      Of course, there were bad humans in Korea, and there may be cases where girls were abused. You want to believe it was mainstream? why don't you blame the Japanese army for their terrible deeds? Even after watching these videos, you don't blame the Japanese army until the end.
      And this issue should be approached as a matter of human rights ethics. I understand your love for your country because you are in Japan. However, they should admit and apologize so that such things will not happen again in the future. That's justice. The small material you bring is a small fragment of 35 years of sad history.
      In fact, it's natural for them to be rewarded. Because Japanese soldiers can't make them 14-year-old girls again. But they prioritize consistent apologies from the Japanese government before compensation. So '2015, the Japanese military sexual slavery agreement' refused. Because what is more important than compensation is the consistent apology and attitude of the Japanese government. North Korea also has the Japanese military sexual slavery survivor. She says needs the Japanese government compensation, not the private fund. That means first a proper apology from the Japanese government is needed. I'm sorry that there are no English subtitles.
      Of course the reason why they went there is also important.
      Any Korean adoptive father or anybody Korean who did wrong should be blamed in history. All of them. But only, Japanese accusations do not include the atrocities of the Japanese army. That makes me angry. Should I find more Japanese atrocities and show them? And do you affirm that there was no "human trafficking" or "false recruitment" of the Japanese army?
      - The document is a Japanese document from Japan and the Japanese military falsely recruited girls.

      I also want to apologize to my Vietnamese friends as a Korean. For the first time in school, I heard In detail about the Korean army in the Vietnam War from my teacher. Since then, I have learned the horrors of the Vietnam War more deeply through many Korean media. Moon Jae-in, Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Dae-jung conveyed the mind of apology to Vietnam. but this is not enough. Victims should be prioritized. The Vietnam War is a battle in which Koreans participated in the war between the United States and Vietnam. Most Koreans acknowledge and apologize for the atrocities the Korean military committed in the Vietnam War. There are far-right groups in any country. They speak of the honor of the Korean military first about the Vietnam War. Of course, we cannot hate the Korean troops who participated in the war from the perspective of Koreans. But if they are bad for women and children's civilians, it should of course apologize and compensate. It's a separate matter. There are also people in Korea who naturally have opposing opinions. But the mainstream thinking that society is pursuing exists. I think most Korean thinking should apologize for the atrocities of the Vietnam War, and that is the universal values and lessons that mankind has to pursue through war.

      [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found]
      The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea.
      SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers.
      The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue.
      The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials.
      The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets.
      The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today.
      In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)."
      A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same.
      Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them."
      In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again."
      The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.”
      The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time-an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

      How can someone apologize for something that other person did? No one is left that have decided to create those 'comfort houses', so what's the point? Someone who was born 30 years later than the war has to apologize for it? That is not being a good person, either, blaming a child for the doings of their parents. This 'good person' pseudo abrahamic ideology makes me sick.

      @Linseed I was granted an scholarship by China when I was young. I'm not against China and favour Japan. In fact, as political regimens both (plus Korea) are lacking, restraining and distorted. They blended wrong Confucianism with everything else on purpose to get those extremely huge and corrupt States. Politically I dislike them three, but culturally (traditionally) and their regular people, I love them all, and are my favourite culture entities (that's why I applied for the chinese scholarship to begin with). You can accuse me of whatever, but the problem here is with reality and proof clashing with ideologies, not me favouring one flag or the other.

      Most of the women were from occupied countries, including Korea, China, and the Philippines. Women who were used for military "comfort stations" also came from Burma, Thailand, French Indochina, Malaya, Manchukuo, Taiwan (then a Japanese dependency), the Dutch East Indies, Portuguese Timor, Papua New Guinea (including some mixed race Japanese-Papuans) and other Japanese-occupied territories. Stations were located in Japan, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand, Burma, New Guinea, Hong Kong, Macau, and French Indochina. A smaller number of women of European origin were also involved, mostly from the Netherlands and Australia with an estimated 200-400 Dutch women alone, with an unknown number of other European women.

      USA Army's official Report about Korean camp followers in the WW2
      NO.49REPORT(1944)
      This is the interview survey which made a Korean comfort woman of U.S. forces the subject. When a homely Korean prostitute is allured into money of the Japanese military here, and I follow, it's recorded
      This report is based on the information obtained from the interrogation of twenty Korean "comfort girls" and two Japanese civilians captured around the tenth of August, 1944 in the mopping up operations after the fall of Myitkyin a in Burma.
             Contents
      The report shows how the Japanese recruited these Korean "comfort girls", the conditions under which they lived and worked, their relations with and reaction to the Japanese soldier, and their understanding of the military situation.
      A "comfort girl" is nothing more than a prostitute or "professional camp follower"
      The interrogations show the average Korean "comfort girl" to be about twenty-five years old, uneducated, childish, and selfish. She is not pretty either by Japanese of Caucasian standards.
      In Myitkyina the girls were usually quartered in a large two story house (usually a school building) with a separate room for each girl. There each girl lived, slept, and transacted business. In Myitkina their food was prepared by and purchased from the "house master" as they received no regular ration from the Japanese Army. They lived in near-luxury in Burma in comparison to other places. This was especially true of their second year in Burma. They lived well because their food and material was not heavily rationed and they had plenty of money with which to purchase desired articles. They were able to buy cloth, shoes, cigarettes, and cosmetics to supplement the many gifts given to them by soldiers who had received "comfort bags" from home.
      While in Burma they amused themselves by participating in sports events with both officers and men, and attended picnics, entertainments, and social dinners. They had a phonograph and in the towns they were allowed to go shopping.
      The girls were allowed the prerogative of refusing a customer.
      In the latter part of 1943 the Army issued orders that certain girls who had paid their debt could return home. Some of the girls were thus allowed to return to Korea.

One day, when I was at their place, he and his siblings were talking about how they were formally invited by the Japanese government to live in Hiroshima, and of course, the bomb subject came in. I'll never forget what I heard from them: "Japan suffered with the bomb, but the Japanese people never were the innocents, they made so many horrible things".

      To the far right Japanese friend who talked to me...
      The my reply didn't went you because I hung the link. So I've arranged the conversations we had.
      I am not good at English. I'm sorry about that point.
      I know Japanese chief cabinet secretary Kono and some prime minister have apologized and tried to solve this problem. However, it is a matter of consistency and attitude. Japan's attitude changed whenever the Liberal Democratic Party politicians took power in Japan. Also, it still does not teach relevant history to Japanese children, and Japanese media ridicule Korea day after day. In addition, there is a separate "Korea hate section" in bookstores in Japan. Some Japanese saying "Japan military sexual slavery is the prostitute" in street parade.
      Of course, there were bad humans in Korea, and there may be cases where girls were abused. You want to believe it was mainstream? why don't you blame the Japanese army for their terrible deeds? Even after watching these videos, you don't blame the Japanese army until the end.
      And this issue should be approached as a matter of human rights ethics. I understand your love for your country because you are in Japan. However, they should admit and apologize so that such things will not happen again in the future. That's justice. The small material you bring is a small fragment of 35 years of sad history.
      In fact, it's natural for them to be rewarded. Because Japanese soldiers can't make them 14-year-old girls again. But they prioritize consistent apologies from the Japanese government before compensation. So '2015, the Japanese military sexual slavery agreement' refused. Because what is more important than compensation is the consistent apology and attitude of the Japanese government. North Korea also has the Japanese military sexual slavery survivor. She says needs the Japanese government compensation, not the private fund. That means first a proper apology from the Japanese government is needed. I'm sorry that there are no English subtitles.
      Of course the reason why they went there is also important.
      Any Korean adoptive father or anybody Korean who did wrong should be blamed in history. All of them. But only, Japanese accusations do not include the atrocities of the Japanese army. That makes me angry. Should I find more Japanese atrocities and show them? And do you affirm that there was no "human trafficking" or "false recruitment" of the Japanese army?

      I also want to apologize to my Vietnamese friends as a Korean. For the first time in school, I heard In detail about the Korean army in the Vietnam War from my teacher. Since then, I have learned the horrors of the Vietnam War more deeply through many Korean media. Moon Jae-in, Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Dae-jung conveyed the mind of apology to Vietnam. but this is not enough. Victims should be prioritized. The Vietnam War is a battle in which Koreans participated in the war between the United States and Vietnam. Most Koreans acknowledge and apologize for the atrocities the Korean military committed in the Vietnam War. There are far-right groups in any country. They speak of the honor of the Korean military first about the Vietnam War. Of course, we cannot hate the Korean troops who participated in the war from the perspective of Koreans. But if they are bad for women and children's civilians, it should of course apologize and compensate. It's a separate matter. There are also people in Korea who naturally have opposing opinions. But the mainstream thinking that society is pursuing exists. I think most Korean thinking should apologize for the atrocities of the Vietnam War, and that is the universal values and lessons that mankind has to pursue through war.

Japan abused the fact that Korea had financial struggles and used those problems to get comfort women and money. it is okay for u to think that Japan deserves to be forgiven but I dont think its right for you to comment that in a video of a woman who was a comfort women who actually went through those horrible things. Im not sure why you are so heated about this and im assuming that you are Japanese since you are so defensive. you shouldn't be commenting such things under a video of a past comfort women who went through so much and has now passed away. u are saying that Koreans have no right to say anything since they did things to vietnam? everyone has done bad things and we should apologise to it and reflect on it instead of comparing who was worse and acknowledge that we have all done bad things and although we may forgive, it is wrong for you to deny the facts that Japan did do bad things.

      Most of the women were from occupied countries, including Korea, China, and the Philippines. Women who were used for military "comfort stations" also came from Burma, Thailand, French Indochina, Malaya, Manchukuo, Taiwan (then a Japanese dependency), the Dutch East Indies, Portuguese Timor, Papua New Guinea (including some mixed race Japanese-Papuans) and other Japanese-occupied territories. Stations were located in Japan, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand, Burma, New Guinea, Hong Kong, Macau, and French Indochina. A smaller number of women of European origin were also involved, mostly from the Netherlands and Australia with an estimated 200-400 Dutch women alone, with an unknown number of other European women.

      Politically, countries don't admit their wrongdoings so they don't have to be held accountable for the crimes. That's why Japan's not publicly admitted to actions like this or like the Nanjing massacre, in order for them to not be held to higher accountability. For a government to admit that as well, they'd have to realize the kind of toll that would have on its own people, so they'd be hesitant to apologize. I'm not saying I agree with this, but I'm just explaining why the governments of countries act this way.

      TaeHobi9 I think it’s definitely an embarrassment for them, first for having harmed innocent people and even children, second for admitting guilt in a war after which they depicted themselves as the victim most of the time (imagine how big an outcry this would trigger within the Japanese public if their government told them what had happened after all these years of denying it), third for an apology to just not anyone but to Korea itself, a country that some Japanese people somehow still despise (as far as I have been able to read with my poor Japanese). Japan preaches peace these days, but to truly reach peace, they need to apologize to the people that have been hurt.
      It’s never too late for an apology, e.g. Canada and Australia both apologized to the natives in the 21st century for major mistreatment that has happened dozens of years ago (better late than never) and Germany has been apologizing ever since WWII ended and has built an entire aspect of their culture on apologizing for the acts of the nazis, so Japan could and should apologize too, and coming from an outsider’s perspective, they urgently need to. 😶

    A senior judge overseeing the criminal case against Rep. Yoon Mee-hyang, the former head of the Korean Council accused of embezzling public donations meant for wartime sexual slavery victims, died suddenly on Tuesday just ahead of the first trial, Seoul police said Wednesday.

    Lee Dae-yeon, a 54-year-old senior judge on the Seoul Western District Court, was found dead around 9:45 p.m. Tuesday night, Gangnam police said. He had collapsed in the restroom of a building in Samseong-dong in Gangnam District, southern Seoul, in the midst of a dinner with a group of fellow judges at a nearby restaurant.

    Emergency responders performed CPR on Lee, who was then transferred to a nearby general hospital where he was pronounced dead at 11:20 p.m.

      This video is a fabrication. Do not believe it. South Korea is using fabricated history to create anti-Japanese sentiment among the Korean people and use it for political purposes. Forced abductions could not have happened under the management of the Japanese military comfort women. The Japanese military comfort stations were strictly controlled and the comfort women were treated extremely well. One former Korean Japanese-comfort-woman disclosed her salary statements, which are very high and even feasible to purchase 5 small houses. And the Japan regarded abduction of women and sex work mediation as a crime and cracked down on it, and there are records of a large number of cases: according to the 1938 record "犯罪件數及檢學件數人員罪名別", there were 1709 criminals arrested for "abduction and kidnapping" cases, 1699 of whom were Koreans.
      Of course, I do not mean to imply that there were zero forced abductions and rapes of women by the Japanese military. There is a historical event called the Sulaman Incident: in 1944, during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia, Japanese troops forcibly abducted and raped 35 Dutch women to a comfort station in Semarang, Java. However, two months after the incident, problems were discovered and the comfort station ceased operations; 11 Class BC war criminals were found guilty at the 1948 Batavia Military Tribunal and the man responsible, Major Keiji Okada, was sentenced to death by firing squad. This is the reason why "the Japanese military systematically forcibly abducted 200,000 Koreans to turn them into sex slaves" could not have happened.
      None of the 240 former comfort women registered with the South Korean administrative body, Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, were taken by the Japanese military; they were victims of traffickers and fraudsters. The former comfort women's grandmother in this video is not credible, as she frequently contradicts herself in her previous testimonies.
      It is a common theory on the comfort women issue that "the Japanese military abducted 200,000 people, made them into sex slaves and there was also a massacre", but in fact there is no absolute evidence to prove them. Also It turns out that the photographs of "Korean comfort women forcibly abducted by the Japanese military" presented by South Korea also come from a completely different source.
      Many Japanese know this fact, but many foreigners are deceived as South Korea wants them to be. It is not always the case that those who play the victim really are. For more details, please watch the playlist from my channel. Thank you.

      "When I was 13 years old (in 1937), I was taken to Indonesia and lived as a sex slave for seven years" (Japan's occupation of Indonesia began in 1942).
      Testimony of Ms. Yeonsu Lee
      In 1993, she said, "When I was 16 years old, I visited a store that recruited comfort women with a friend without telling my mother.
      In 2004, "I was forcibly taken by the Japanese military and abused as a sex slave.
      Testimony of Ms. Okju Mun
      In 1992, she filed a lawsuit against Japan Post, demanding payment of 26,145 yen (about 50 million yen in today's value), which was the amount at the time. According to her testimony, her income for three years as a comfort woman (annual income for a sex slave is 15 million yen?

      AP: S.Korea covered up mass abuse, killings of 'vagrants’
      An Associated Press investigation shows that the abuse of these so-called vagrants at Brothers, the largest of dozens of such facilities, was much more vicious and widespread than previously known, based on hundreds of exclusive documents and dozens of interviews with officials and former inmates.
      Yet nobody has been held accountable to date for the rapes and killings at the Brothers compound because of a cover-up orchestrated at the highest levels of government, the AP found.

      *The current government, however, refuses to revisit the case, and is blocking a push by an opposition lawmaker to do so on the grounds that the evidence is too old*

      Ahn Jeong-tae, an official from Seoul’s Ministry of the Interior, said focusing on just one human rights incident would financially burden the government and set a bad precedent. The Brothers’ victims, he said, should have submitted their case to a temporary truth-finding commission established in the mid-2000s to investigate past atrocities.
      “We can’t make separate laws for every incident and there have been so many incidents since the Korean War,” Ahn said.
      In another words, “if South Korea could use this against Japan, we would use this forever. Otherwise, we ignore and cover this up”

      I know Japanese chief cabinet secretary Kono and some prime minister have apologized and tried to solve this problem. However, it is a matter of consistency and attitude. Japan's attitude changed whenever the Liberal Democratic Party politicians took power in Japan. Also, it still does not teach relevant history to Japanese children, and Japanese media ridicule Korea day after day. In addition, there is a separate "Korea hate section" in bookstores in Japan. Some Japanese saying "Japan military sexual slavery is the prostitute" in street parade.
      Of course, there were bad humans in Korea, and there may be cases where girls were abused. You want to believe it was mainstream? why don't you blame the Japanese army for their terrible deeds? Even after watching these videos, you don't blame the Japanese army until the end.
      And this issue should be approached as a matter of human rights ethics. I understand your love for your country because you are in Japan. However, they should admit and apologize so that such things will not happen again in the future. That's justice. The small material you bring is a small fragment of 35 years of sad history.
      In fact, it's natural for them to be rewarded. Because Japanese soldiers can't make them 14-year-old girls again. But they prioritize consistent apologies from the Japanese government before compensation. So '2015, the Japanese military sexual slavery agreement' refused. Because what is more important than compensation is the consistent apology and attitude of the Japanese government. North Korea also has the Japanese military sexual slavery survivor. She says needs the Japanese government compensation, not the private fund. That means first a proper apology from the Japanese government is needed. I'm sorry that there are no English subtitles.
      Of course the reason why they went there is also important.
      Any Korean adoptive father or anybody Korean who did wrong should be blamed in history. All of them. But only, Japanese accusations do not include the atrocities of the Japanese army. That makes me angry. Should I find more Japanese atrocities and show them? And do you affirm that there was no "human trafficking" or "false recruitment" of the Japanese army?
      - The document is a Japanese document from Japan and the Japanese military falsely recruited girls.

      I also want to apologize to my Vietnamese friends as a Korean. For the first time in school, I heard In detail about the Korean army in the Vietnam War from my teacher. Since then, I have learned the horrors of the Vietnam War more deeply through many Korean media. Moon Jae-in, Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Dae-jung conveyed the mind of apology to Vietnam. but this is not enough. Victims should be prioritized. The Vietnam War is a battle in which Koreans participated in the war between the United States and Vietnam. Most Koreans acknowledge and apologize for the atrocities the Korean military committed in the Vietnam War. There are far-right groups in any country. They speak of the honor of the Korean military first about the Vietnam War. Of course, we cannot hate the Korean troops who participated in the war from the perspective of Koreans. But if they are bad for women and children's civilians, it should of course apologize and compensate. It's a separate matter. There are also people in Korea who naturally have opposing opinions. But the mainstream thinking that society is pursuing exists. I think most Korean thinking should apologize for the atrocities of the Vietnam War, and that is the universal values and lessons that mankind has to pursue through war..

      Please let me share the issues of the current slavery working conditions for LEGAL immigrant workers in Japan. Here are some horrible examples and statics that reported.
      •Over 85% immigrant workers under “Foreign Skills Training Program (外国人技能研修制度)” are working for less than minimum wage.
      •More than 100 labours under the program committed suicide past 5 years.
      •A lady from Myanmar worked 100hours per WEEK and received only 60,000 yen per MONTH(600USD). She described herself as a slaver.
      •A lady from Vietnam was ordered to have an abortion or cut her contract.
      This is happening in 2018. Japan hasn’t learnt that people from Asian countries have human rights that must be respected as much as theirs citizens. As one Japanese, I really feel sorry and guilty for those who were abused during the war and for those who are struggling in Japan.
      I just want this to be known by as much as people over the world so that foreign media realise this problem and start criticising. Government and media here are collapsed. People’s voice can hardly change them.

But yes, I must agree that rebelling in the sense of rejecting apology letters and funds is quite stubborn and rude. She shouldn't lie by saying that Japan hasn't apologized, however, I believe that she has the right to be angry for they took something away from her that she never would've been able to take back.

      Who said Korean didn't apologized vietnam? president kim dae joong, roh moo hyun and moon jae in continuously gave their will to vietnam government that they want to officially apologize to vietnam and raise associated investigating team. But both was rejected by vietnam government itself.
      Also korean court admitted massacre of about 70 people of vietnamese and ordered our government to compensate about it. It was Korean lawyer and civilians who helped victim to win this case.
      Koreans surely trying to don't forget the past and move forward with vietnam by these actions. And Koreans try to accept what vietnam government ask about writings or expressions Koreans made.
      and the reason only japan need to apologize(I already said compensation is not necessary in former reply. Did you really read it?) among many countries is because Japan illegally colonized Korea and tried to transform korean ethnicity to that of japanese.
      other countries like mongol, China had superior influence after winning or agreement with korea but didn't try to erase their language or culture or made severe crime on them. Also it is shame Soviet union and USA had control of north and south korea but Koreans and two countries had understanding that they are gonna move out when Korea makes its own government. And some of them did leave korea after north and south got their own government.
      Of course CCCP and Soviet Union's aid to north korea's invasion should be apologized. But, it is very hard because both country is in dictatorship.
      However, japan is democratic nation so they can admit their wrongdoings
      but they refuse to do so.
      that is why Korea resent at japanese.

      noobenstein that is a mindset that helps no one. The ruling elite of Japan during WWII have passed away or extremely old and the current governments of Japan and Korea have nothing to do with the Pre-WWII government in terms of war crimes. What they do have control over is the acknowledgment of their former government’s actions. If Japan was to sincerely apologize, there would be nothing more the Comfort Women can look for. What else can they do? Go find each and every Japanese solder that raped her and ask his family for forgiveness? Not forgiving is a game where nobody wins. Forgive, but never forget so we don’t repeat atrocious acts in the future.

    3) Letters from the Prime Minister, etc. to one Filipine camp follower in the WW2 from Japanese Government
    After the war, the Philippines signed the San Francisco Peace Treaty, and the issues of reparations, property, and claims related to the WW2 were legally settled between Japan and the Philippines. Based on the provisions of Article 14 (a) 1 of the Peace Treaty, a reparations agreement was concluded with Japan in 1956, under which Japan provided the Philippines with services and products worth $550 million. However, when the comfort women(camp followers) issue was raised, the country was also forced to respond to the victims.
    In June 1992, Rosa Henson heard a radio broadcast calling for women who had been forced into being "comfort women(camp followers)" by the Japanese military to come forward, and decided to meet with human rights activist Nelia Sancho and others to talk about her experience. On September 18 of the same year, she gave her first press conference. After her first rape, Rosa Henson joined a guerrilla group, where she was captured, raped again, taken to the Japanese military headquarters, and imprisoned with other women for nine months, where she was repeatedly raped.
    Nelia Sancho visited and interviewed victims like Henson. In April 1993, Rosa Henson and 18 other former "comfort women," or lolas (Tagalog for "grandmothers"), filed a lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court seeking an apology and compensation from the Japanese government. In 1994, they formed a campaign group called Lila Pilipina. The number of plaintiffs eventually grew to 46. The lawsuit was lost in the district court and high court, and on December 25, 2003, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal.

      When President Park Chung-hee seized power through a military coup in 1961, he initiated a “social purification drive” that included a “pros**tution prevention law.”
      However, rather than eliminate pros**tution, Park instead created 104 special pros***ution districts, being desperate to retain the cash that American soldiers would otherwise spend in Japan. Referred to as “Yankee Princesses” or “Western Princesses,” women who worked in these districts were lectured to by Korean university professors, who lauded them for helping to accrue “precious foreign currency for the nation’s economic development” and for performing “patriotic” work.
      SK records refer to the women as “fifth category supplies” - an addition to the four normal supply categories, reminiscent of the Japanese classification of women as “military supplies.” . . . The similarities in the pattern of operations include soldiers lining up in front of the tents, the women being classified according to the ranks of the men they served, and a hierarchical order of access to their se:xual services
      SK have continued until today to procure pros**tutes under conditions of near-coercion for the use of their own troops and U.S. servicemen. In 2003, after informal and non-binding hearings instituted by the Philippine government, the Seoul District Court ruled that three night club owners near U.S. Camp Casey must compensate Filipina women who said they had been forced into pros**tution at the clubs

    The man had come in to buy soy sauce. Tran Thi Ngai was working as a midwife and nurse, but that morning she was looking after her parents’ shop in southern Vietnam while they were out.
    He had grenades hanging from his armour, guns on his belt. It was the summer of 1967, and the Vietnam War - pitting South Vietnamese forces, the US and its allies, against the North Vietnamese Communists - was escalating.
    As he approached the counter, he held out the money. As Tran reached to take it, he grabbed her arm, then her hair, and dragged her into the back room of the shop. There he raped her.
    “It felt as if my life was over,” Tran says. All she could do was channel her energies into working harder than ever.
    When she noticed her stomach swelling she assumed she was just putting on weight. Then one day she felt a kick and realised she was pregnant.
    Her parents were horrified that she was expecting a baby out of wedlock - a major taboo. The country’s social mores were heavily influenced by Confucianism, and women were expected to remain virgins until they were married.
    “My parents called me ‘chửa hoang' (pregnant out of wedlock) - they beat me up badly.
    “I didn’t want to carry on living. I felt completely dead inside.”
    She tried to kill herself several times but survived - “it felt as if the foetus was fighting for me”.
    Her parents only stopped beating her once she gave birth - in February 1968. She was overwhelmed by how beautiful her baby girl was, but was soon overtaken by anxiety.
    “I was worried about my child growing up, worried about money, worried about how I could get back to work to earn a living.”
    She named the baby Oanh. But, hard as it is to comprehend, she wanted to recognise the baby’s father in some way. The middle name would be Kim. That was the soldier’s surname. Her rapist was neither Vietnamese nor American. He was South Korean.
    Four years earlier his nation had joined the US in fighting the Communist Vietcong in South Vietnam.
    Not long after giving birth, Tran woke one night to find that Kim had appeared again, looking for her.
    “He didn’t say a word, stood there for one or two minutes, then left,” she says. -

    We hosted over 40 Japanese exchange students years ago in our Australian home and I had a great time with all of them. They were all kind and respectful. It wasn't until we were hosting two 16 year old students for 3 months that I found out the truth about their education. One girl was Japanese and one was German. It didn't come up immediately but eventually conversation did come up about WW2 after we watched a movie that touched on it. The German girl was horrified about the Japanese girl's lack of knowledge of things that the rest of the world knew. The two girls, both the same age, were a massive contrast of knowledge and information. It was the first time I realised how Japan has white-washed their brutal past. They need to learn it to avoid it happening again.

      To the far right Japanese friend who talked to me...
      The my reply didn't went you because I hung the link. So I've arranged the conversations we had.
      I am not good at English. I'm sorry about that point.
      I don't want to fight with the far right Japanese.
      The far right Japanese say "South Koreans, Chinese etc. are a liars", "Japan military sexual slavery is a prostitute". It hurts me. So I don't want to talk anymore.
      Some Japanese friends admit this and feel sorry. It really matters to us. The horrors of the Japanese military in Korea, China, Indonesia, Taiwanese, Philippines and Vietnam etc. should be judged by the keywords below. I am not going to reply any more. If you want to see the remaining historical material, please search it. It's up to you to judge.
      I know Japanese chief cabinet secretary Kono and some prime minister have apologized and tried to solve this problem. However, it is a matter of consistency and attitude. Japan's attitude changed whenever the Liberal Democratic Party politicians took power in Japan. Also, it still does not teach relevant history to Japanese children, and Japanese media ridicule Korea day after day. In addition, there is a separate "Korea hate section" in bookstores in Japan. Some Japanese saying "Japan military sexual slavery is the prostitute" in street parade.
      Of course, there were bad humans in Korea, and there may be cases where girls were abused. You want to believe it was mainstream? why don't you blame the Japanese army for their terrible deeds? Even after watching these videos, you don't blame the Japanese army until the end.
      And this issue should be approached as a matter of human rights ethics. I understand your love for your country because you are in Japan. However, they should admit and apologize so that such things will not happen again in the future. That's justice. The small material you bring is a small fragment of 35 years of sad history.
      In fact, it's natural for them to be rewarded. Because Japanese soldiers can't make them 14-year-old girls again. But they prioritize consistent apologies from the Japanese government before compensation. So '2015, the Japanese military sexual slavery agreement' refused. Because what is more important than compensation is the consistent apology and attitude of the Japanese government. North Korea also has the Japanese military sexual slavery survivor. She says needs the Japanese government compensation, not the private fund. That means first a proper apology from the Japanese government is needed. I'm sorry that there are no English subtitles.
      Of course the reason why they went there is also important.
      Any Korean adoptive father or anybody Korean who did wrong should be blamed in history. All of them. But only, Japanese accusations do not include the atrocities of the Japanese army. That makes me angry. Should I find more Japanese atrocities and show them? And do you affirm that there was no "human trafficking" or "false recruitment" of the Japanese army?
      - The document is a Japanese document from Japan and the Japanese military falsely recruited girls.

      I also want to apologize to my Vietnamese friends as a Korean. For the first time in school, I heard In detail about the Korean army in the Vietnam War from my teacher. Since then, I have learned the horrors of the Vietnam War more deeply through many Korean media. Moon Jae-in, Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Dae-jung conveyed the mind of apology to Vietnam. but this is not enough. Victims should be prioritized. The Vietnam War is a battle in which Koreans participated in the war between the United States and Vietnam. Most Koreans acknowledge and apologize for the atrocities the Korean military committed in the Vietnam War. There are far-right groups in any country. They speak of the honor of the Korean military first about the Vietnam War. Of course, we cannot hate the Korean troops who participated in the war from the perspective of Koreans. But if they are bad for women and children's civilians, it should of course apologize and compensate. It's a separate matter. There are also people in Korea who naturally have opposing opinions. But the mainstream thinking that society is pursuing exists. I think most Korean thinking should apologize for the atrocities of the Vietnam War, and that is the universal values and lessons that mankind has to pursue through war..

    It is important to note that war crimes in Vietnam and the comfort women issue are not analogous. However, the comparison highlights the South Korean government’s inconsistent approach to fact-finding initiatives, a crucial element of the “victim-centred approach”.
    The South Korean government justifies its hypocritical position in the Vietnam-American War by pointing to the silence of the Vietnamese government. The Vietnamese government has indeed refrained from making any statements on the issue, but this justification is inconsistent with the notion of the “victim-centred approach”. This approach prioritises victims’ ownership of post-conflict reconciliation over “official” state responses. Additionally, there is a clear asymmetry in economic power between a developing Vietnam and a wealthy South Korea. Vietnam’s silence as an emerging economy, dependent on aid and foreign investment for continued growth, is reminiscent of South Korea’s own silence on Japanese colonial war crimes, which was met with fierce public opposition.
    To fully engage in this process of transitional justice, the government should consider two initiatives as starting points for transitional justice.

      I might be missing something here.

Is there something I am missing about why this issue is not at rest yet? While I agree that this was a horrendous practice, I don't know why Japan needs to be shamed over and over for it today.
      I despise the double standard over this. Why is the USA not being asked to apologize for the atomic bombs, Agent Orange or the abominable mess they've been creating in the middle east and Africa since the 60's. I can bet that if Japan had won the war and was a superpower in the place of USA today, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

      elborrador333 The intricacies of the issue lie not in the fact that they have somewhat apologized for it, but more for in the way that it was done. More importantly, it seems like the common theme with the surviving comfort women is that they want the official record in Japan cleared up and taught.
      Think about it, with an entire generation or two not learning this ever happened and these elderly women passing away and monuments being removed.. it will be as if it never happened.

      @@elborrador333 The USA apologized a few years ago, when Obama was president. I think what Koreans want is that the Japanese government properly acknowledges this to THE WORLD and THEIR PEOPLE. They want the Japanese education system to include this as something that happened and teach the generations to come what a horrible act it was, honor and acknowledge the victims and to NEVER REPEAT IT. To never repeat history, we must learn it........

    Last year there was a documentary about comfort women in China, it's called "twenty two". When they started to make the film, there were 22 of them alive. But by the time it was finished, there were only 9 left.
    It was really hard to watch the whole thing, I teared many times in the cinema. When they were trying to recall what happened there, their faces began to shake and their voice began to tremble. So the director did not have the heart to ask more details and choose to focus the documentary on their daily life.
    They were never given a proper apology, but they do not hate today's Japanese people because of it. One of them was taken care of by a Japanese girl who came here to volunteer and they were like mom and daughter. After all those sufferings, all they wish for now is that China and Japan can get along and that such tragedy will never happen again in the future. Most of them do not demand apologies any more, they just want to move on and live a normal life.
    For those who passed, may them rest in peace; for those who still lived, may them live comfortably and undisturbed.

The documentary talked about the 22 comfort women left in China and their life, however January this year, the number was down to 14 only. Before it turns to "0", we should do something.

      The Walnut an interview with the women showed that they were clearly involved and interested. I think it would be an emotional reassurance for them if they could get a face-to-face apology.

      To know who comfort women really were, search "US report 49 comfort women" written by the US in 1944 during WW2. It is around 7 pages and totally readable.
      And this story does not add up either. Ms. Kim Bok-Dong was born in 1926 (please google), taken at 14 yrs and 8 years being detained which means she had been detained until 1948. But WW2 ended 1945. (Japanese army in Singapore surrendered Sept 12, 1945, whereas Japanese Gov Surrender Aug 15, 1945.) This story is a propaganda. She even said in 2013 she was victimized by Japanese army in Korean War (1950-53). Japan even didn't have army anymore at that time.
      But she didn't lie alone. She was with The Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance that supports Korean comfort women, but it collects donations from ROK people and passes them to Pro N-Korea activities. The chair woman Yoon Mee-Hyang was sued. Her husband Kim Sam-suk, his sister Kim Eun Ju and her husband were arrested for sp*ying for N-Korea. Lee Yong-Soo is most iconic comfort woman with KCJR, who is known for her changing testimonies. Others change their testimonies, too. These lies have been spread to split South Korea and Japan. Communists and socialists are taking advantage of this.

      To the far right Japanese friend who talked to me...
      The my reply didn't went you because I hung the link. So I've arranged the conversations we had.
      I am not good at English. I'm sorry about that point.
      I don't want to fight with the far right Japanese.
      The far right Japanese say "South Koreans, Chinese etc. are a liars", "Japan military sexual slavery is a prostitute". It hurts me. So I don't want to talk anymore.
      Some Japanese friends admit this and feel sorry. It really matters to us. The horrors of the Japanese military in Korea, China, Indonesia, Taiwanese, Philippines and Vietnam etc. should be judged by the keywords below. I am not going to reply any more. If you want to see the remaining historical material, please search it. It's up to you to judge.
      I know Japanese chief cabinet secretary Kono and some prime minister have apologized and tried to solve this problem. However, it is a matter of consistency and attitude. Japan's attitude changed whenever the Liberal Democratic Party politicians took power in Japan. Also, it still does not teach relevant history to Japanese children, and Japanese media ridicule Korea day after day. In addition, there is a separate "Korea hate section" in bookstores in Japan. Some Japanese saying "Japan military sexual slavery is the prostitute" in street parade.
      Of course, there were bad humans in Korea, and there may be cases where girls were abused. You want to believe it was mainstream? why don't you blame the Japanese army for their terrible deeds? Even after watching these videos, you don't blame the Japanese army until the end.
      And this issue should be approached as a matter of human rights ethics. I understand your love for your country because you are in Japan. However, they should admit and apologize so that such things will not happen again in the future. That's justice. The small material you bring is a small fragment of 35 years of sad history.
      In fact, it's natural for them to be rewarded. Because Japanese soldiers can't make them 14-year-old girls again. But they prioritize consistent apologies from the Japanese government before compensation. So '2015, the Japanese military sexual slavery agreement' refused. Because what is more important than compensation is the consistent apology and attitude of the Japanese government. North Korea also has the Japanese military sexual slavery survivor. She says needs the Japanese government compensation, not the private fund. That means first a proper apology from the Japanese government is needed. I'm sorry that there are no English subtitles.
      Of course the reason why they went there is also important.
      Any Korean adoptive father or anybody Korean who did wrong should be blamed in history. All of them. But only, Japanese accusations do not include the atrocities of the Japanese army. That makes me angry. Should I find more Japanese atrocities and show them? And do you affirm that there was no "human trafficking" or "false recruitment" of the Japanese army?

      I also want to apologize to my Vietnamese friends as a Korean. For the first time in school, I heard In detail about the Korean army in the Vietnam War from my teacher. Since then, I have learned the horrors of the Vietnam War more deeply through many Korean media. Moon Jae-in, Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Dae-jung conveyed the mind of apology to Vietnam. but this is not enough. Victims should be prioritized. The Vietnam War is a battle in which Koreans participated in the war between the United States and Vietnam. Most Koreans acknowledge and apologize for the atrocities the Korean military committed in the Vietnam War. There are far-right groups in any country. They speak of the honor of the Korean military first about the Vietnam War. Of course, we cannot hate the Korean troops who participated in the war from the perspective of Koreans. But if they are bad for women and children's civilians, it should of course apologize and compensate. It's a separate matter. There are also people in Korea who naturally have opposing opinions. But the mainstream thinking that society is pursuing exists. I think most Korean thinking should apologize for the atrocities of the Vietnam War, and that is the universal values and lessons that mankind has to pursue through war..

    A case of a KOREAN camp follower " Mun Oku-chu" in the WW2.
    A former Korean camp follower woman in the WW2 Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean camp follower's owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a camp follower woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea.
    I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a prostitute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.

      To the far right Japanese friend who talked to me...
      The my reply didn't went you because I hung the link. So I've arranged the conversations we had.
      I am not good at English. I'm sorry about that point.
      I know Japanese chief cabinet secretary Kono and some prime minister have apologized and tried to solve this problem. However, it is a matter of consistency and attitude. Japan's attitude changed whenever the Liberal Democratic Party politicians took power in Japan. Also, it still does not teach relevant history to Japanese children, and Japanese media ridicule Korea day after day. In addition, there is a separate "Korea hate section" in bookstores in Japan. Some Japanese saying "Japan military sexual slavery is the prostitute" in street parade.
      Of course, there were bad humans in Korea, and there may be cases where girls were abused. You want to believe it was mainstream? why don't you blame the Japanese army for their terrible deeds? Even after watching these videos, you don't blame the Japanese army until the end.
      And this issue should be approached as a matter of human rights ethics. I understand your love for your country because you are in Japan. However, they should admit and apologize so that such things will not happen again in the future. That's justice. The small material you bring is a small fragment of 35 years of sad history.
      In fact, it's natural for them to be rewarded. Because Japanese soldiers can't make them 14-year-old girls again. But they prioritize consistent apologies from the Japanese government before compensation. So '2015, the Japanese military sexual slavery agreement' refused. Because what is more important than compensation is the consistent apology and attitude of the Japanese government. North Korea also has the Japanese military sexual slavery survivor. She says needs the Japanese government compensation, not the private fund. That means first a proper apology from the Japanese government is needed. I'm sorry that there are no English subtitles.
      Of course the reason why they went there is also important.
      Any Korean adoptive father or anybody Korean who did wrong should be blamed in history. All of them. But only, Japanese accusations do not include the atrocities of the Japanese army. That makes me angry. Should I find more Japanese atrocities and show them? And do you affirm that there was no "human trafficking" or "false recruitment" of the Japanese army?
      - The document is a Japanese document from Japan and the Japanese military falsely recruited girls.

      I also want to apologize to my Vietnamese friends as a Korean. For the first time in school, I heard In detail about the Korean army in the Vietnam War from my teacher. Since then, I have learned the horrors of the Vietnam War more deeply through many Korean media. Moon Jae-in, Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Dae-jung conveyed the mind of apology to Vietnam. but this is not enough. Victims should be prioritized. The Vietnam War is a battle in which Koreans participated in the war between the United States and Vietnam. Most Koreans acknowledge and apologize for the atrocities the Korean military committed in the Vietnam War. There are far-right groups in any country. They speak of the honor of the Korean military first about the Vietnam War. Of course, we cannot hate the Korean troops who participated in the war from the perspective of Koreans. But if they are bad for women and children's civilians, it should of course apologize and compensate. It's a separate matter. There are also people in Korea who naturally have opposing opinions. But the mainstream thinking that society is pursuing exists. I think most Korean thinking should apologize for the atrocities of the Vietnam War, and that is the universal values and lessons that mankind has to pursue through war

      @@claudel1027 [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found]
      The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea.
      SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers.
      The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue.
      The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials.
      The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets.
      The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today.
      In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)."
      A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same.
      Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them."
      In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again."
      The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.”
      The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time-an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

      An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun on June 6, 1977.
      It says that a Korean comfort station owner traff*cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Asia to provide se*x to Japanese/Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no Koreans opposed that concept.
      Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of coercing Korean comfort women. Korean communists with close ties to NK thought this was a great opportunity to defame Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women’s false testimonies worldwide.
      Their tactic was to use the case of a small number of Dutch indonesia women who were coerced by lower ranked Japanese soldiers and make it look like the same thing happened to tens of thousands of Korean women. Since they had no evidence, they coached Korean women to testify falsely.

      @@claudel1027 Korean comfort station owners
      The Japanese military sent notices to comfort station operators prohibiting them to recruit women against their will. The Japanese comfort station operators followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan, but the Korean operators didn't follow the order and recruited both willing pros**tutes and unwilling women in Korea. If the Korean operators had followed the order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue.
      Many of Korean comfort women's fathers had debts from alcohol, gambling, etc. and sold their daughters without daughters' consent. The Korean comfort station owners took over their debts, and depending on the amount of the debt, each woman's contract length was determined. Korean women were not allowed to leave until their debts were paid off. Any coercion, violence or confinement was exercised by the Korean owners. So if one wants to use the term "sex slaves" to describe former Korean comfort women, they were the sex slaves of Korean comfort station owners. They were not the sex slaves of the Japanese military. The Japanese military's involvement was limited to conducting sexually transmitted disease checkups and providing transportation to comfort station owners and comfort women.
