@@inertial6 Korean Government asked the Japanese government to issue the Kono Statement "To save the face" of 16 former comfort women who scream loudly at the Korean Government building. They also promised that they would never bring this Comfort Women issue to the diplomatic relations between Japan and Korea once the Kono Statement is issued. The Japanese government believed that the Koreans would honor the words. However, Korean government broke the promise and brought the Comfort Women Issue to the United Nations and caused the UN to issue the Coomaraswamy Report in 1996.

@The Pinnacle Of Truth Wow. Thank you very much! lol.🤪

A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. 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.

Why is it that since she became a non-public prostitute, she has made three statements that are 100% different in terms of her age and how and by whom she was taken? The same thing happens when people lie on the spur of the moment. The only evidence the Korean government has is their own statements. Can the testimony of witnesses who change their plea be trusted in court?

What point are you trying to make?

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.

@@kaorin5236 So...the point you are trying to make is that all the abuses were attributable to Korean men?

The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station 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 comfort 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 pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991) a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

Korean authorities say “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

Barbaric? I didn't realize it was Korea who had invaded Japan and forced Japanese women into forced sexual enslavement. Plus, if you had done your own research, you would have known Ramseyer's paper has many problems and inaccuracies, including the absence of contracts involving Korean women, as well as inaccurate citation of references, etc. I guess you also don't know about the Kono statement, made by your OWN govt, admitting to the barbaric act committed by Japan.

@@inertial6 There are many Koreans who cite the 1993 Kono statement. However, this discourse is premised on the fabrication report (sex slave) of the Asahi Shimbun at that time. And it coordinated between the Japanese and Korean governments. In 2014, the Asahi Shimbun admitted forgery reports (sex slaves) on the comfort women issue. However, that is not widely reported in South Korea. The Asahi Shimbun also rarely publishes forged reports (sex slaves) to the world. The Japanese people are very angry with the Korean government and the Asahi Shimbun. The Japanese people are asking the Japanese government to cancel the 1993 Kono statement. The 1993 Kono statement is no longer evidence. It's important, so I'll say it again. Comfort women are high-paying sexual contracts and their profession, not sex slaves. If you argue, argue in the treatise. Do not lock in Ramseyer's treatise. The political pressure to lock in rational treatises is barbaric. Thank you.

@@YA-fi3ng Fabrication report? So, your Japanese govt is so inept that it would rely on some newspaper prior to making such an important Kono statement? Gotcha.

@@inertial6 　You don't seem to know the Asahi Shimbun's forged coverage of the comfort women issue. It is up to the Japanese people to decide whether the Japanese government is incompetent. It is not decided by foreigners. That is not evidence of war crimes.

@@YA-fi3ng It's really laughable that your Japanese govt will rely on some newspaper to make such important declaration, instead of doing extensive research on its own. lol
