[Translated excerpt of Yonhap News article]
On January 5th, Mark Ramseyer, a professor at Harvard Law School in the United States, who defined South Korean comfort women as "prostitutes" and received international backlash, has now proven that "comfort women were forced to be recruited." It is expected that there will be a stir by asserting that there are no contemporary documents that do so.
Professor Ramseyer made this clear on the 5th in his article ``Sexual Contracts in the Pacific War: Responses to Criticism'' posted on the Harvard Law School website.
In this paper, which is a rebuttal of previous criticisms directed at her, Professor Ramseyer argues that ``Korean women were drawn into [comfort women] by the Japanese military who fought against their will, regardless of their will.'' I will respond to the allegation,'' and declared, ``This allegation is false.''
At the same time, he asserted, `` Korean women were not forced to serve as comfort stations due to planned coercion by the Japanese military .''
He specifically argued that the 1983 book ``My War Crimes'' by Japanese author and activist Seiji Yoshida was the de facto basis for the forced recruitment of comfort women.
For 35 years after the end of the war, there was no evidence (proving forced conscription). It was only in the late 1980s that some Korean women began to advocate this."
He added, ``The comfort women debate started with Yoshida's 'fraud'' '' and ``Most of the experts who criticized me were from Japan and South Korea, but even though they knew about this book, no one He also didn't mention this book."
Regarding the paper in question, Professor Ramseyer said, ``The core of the paper was about the contract, such as why the comfort women received advance payment and what conditions under the contract determined the women's working hours.'' ``However, none of the criticisms leveled at me were aimed at this kind of economic analysis.''
In a paper published that day, Professor Ramseyer cited a study last year by Lee Yuken, a co-author of ``Anti-Japanese Tribalism'' and a research committee member at the University of Economics Research Institute, which received support from far-right groups in Japan.
Professor Ramseyer also claimed that comfort women victims, who remained silent for a considerable period after the war, changed their words after they began demanding reparations from Japan.
In a situation where there is no document proving forced recruitment, the only evidence, the testimonies of victims, lacks credibility. .
In particular, he referred to comfort woman victim Lee Yong-soo as ``the most notorious (of all the people who changed their words)''.

POINT Professor Ramseyer says that no evidence of her forced abduction or her contract has been found anywhere. Similarly, the Japanese government has made a cabinet decision under the Abe administration that there is no evidence of forced recruitment.

Leaders Participate in the Olympic Opening Ceremony - Prime Minister Abe Participated for the Athletes and Moon Jae - in Used for Political Use
At the time of the Pyeongchang Olympics held in South Korea, Moon Jae-in had already spoken out about the invalidity of the comfort women agreement, and in Japan, there was much domestic public opinion against Prime Minister Abe's participation in the opening ceremony of the Games. However, it was thought that Prime Minister Abe would not participate, but Prime Minister Abe announced his intention to participate. The reason was that ``I had to participate as the country's top leader in order to encourage the Japanese national team players.''
I have seen Moon Jae-in in this sense, and he is truly a disappointing person. The South Korean athlete did not even know whether his country would participate in the Tokyo Olympics until just before the Olympics, and his argument that he might boycott was so lame that it was dismissed by the IOC. As for Moon Jae-in's participation in the opening ceremony, it appears that he was trying to make a deal until the very end, unilaterally offering a deal in exchange for a summit meeting.
South Korea has been the most sensitive to the political use of the Olympics, and appears to have criticized Japan at every turn at the national level. From the perspective of Japan, the South Korean athletes who play the leading role in sports tournaments are nowhere to be seen, and it appears that Moon Jae-in, far from using the Olympics for politics, seems to think that the Olympics themselves are a political venue.
What is the main purpose of the comfort women agreement? The purpose is for the Korean side to establish a foundation for reconciliation and resolution - South Korea does not understand the main purpo
I don't understand anything about this article (below).Apparently, the former Japanese Military comfort woman refused to receive 1 billion yen donated by Japan in the 2015 Japanese Military comfort woman agreement, so the Korean government donated 1 billion yen to establish a gender equality fund.
In the first place, the Moon Jae In administration and Korean public opinion have been excluded, but the Japanese government has not donated 1 billion yen directly to the former Japanese Military comfort woman.The South Korean government has set up a foundation to support the former Japanese Military comfort woman and provided funds for the foundation.The Korean government's activities and foundation will settle the dispute with the former Japanese Military comfort woman.Since it was a public interest foundation, it would be good to raise new public works projects and funds through the foundation's activities and increase the amount of funds to solve the problem.Japan and South Korea agreed on the Japanese Military comfort woman agreement.The fact that the former Japanese Military comfort woman refused to accept the 1 billion yen donated by Japan itself is contrary to the intent of the Japanese Military comfort woman agreement.
Moon Jae In has dissolved the Reconciliation and Healing Foundation, and one billion yen has not been repaid to Japan, and it has reportedly invested one billion yen in establishing a new Gender Equality Fund.In any case, it is clear that the South Korean government will take the initiative in solving the problem.
[2015 Japanese Military comfort woman Agreement]
Japan side:
(2) Based on this experience, the Japanese government has taken measures to heal the wounds of all former Japanese Military comfort womans based on the Japanese government's budget.Specifically, the Korean government will set up a foundation to support former Japanese Military comfort womans and use the Japanese government's budget to fund them. The two governments will cooperate to restore the honor and dignity of all former Japanese Military comfort womans and heal their wounds.
2. South Korea side:
(1) The South Korean government evaluates the Japanese government's announcement and the measures announced in paragraph 1.(2) above, and confirms that the Japanese government and the Japanese government will finally and irreversibly resolve the problem.The South Korean government will cooperate with the Japanese government's implementation of the measures.
A Korean Peninsula man kidnapped a woman and ran a Japanese Military comfort woman mediation business.
On June 30, 1933, a woman (41 years old at the time) with a husband and children was arrested in addition to a 35-year-old Korean Peninsula man who kidnapped a girl on the street and sold her to China.One of the kidnapped girls was sold to a 35-year-old man for 20 won and killed.
On April 5, 1933, Oh Cho-woong, a broker on the Korean Peninsula operating under the pseudonym Hannam, was arrested for counterfeiting his family register and obtaining permission to do business in South Gyeongsang Province bought a 16-year-old girl for 350 yen.
Kim Bok-soon, a female broker disguised as a lady, has been arrested.Kim Bok-soon led a group of four men and women, including Lee Jin-ok, who kidnapped 28 girls on the Korean Peninsula on December 31, 1935.Kim Bok-soon sold the girls to Joo Sung-ok in the primary and received a brokerage fee of 15 to 150 yen.
Daughter Kidnapping: Chun Doo-hwan (58 years old at the time) of Gaifuku Village in Gunsan, Busan, was arrested on November 15, 1938 for preparing a power of attorney to sell to a 19-year-old and 17-year-old woman in Manchuria.
Ha Yoon-myung's case: He is also a man of considerable wealth in Gyeongseong.He cleverly persuaded his parents, "I have children and daughters, so how about your daughter?" and paid 10 yen in advance to take over the family daughter (18 years old at the time).After that, I took my daughter to Tianjin, Republic of China, not Gyeongseong, and sold it for 1,000 yen.
On March 28, 1939, the Asahi Shimbun reported that Kim Oh-man and his family were arrested in Roh Moo Hyun Mountain, Gyeonggi Province.Since 1935, the Kim Oman family has been working as adopted daughters in rural areas across the Korean Peninsula and trafficked women in Manchuria.
Tan Jang-yeon case: Tan Jang-yeon, who was arrested after Ha Yoon-myung and his wife, sold more than 100 rural women to North China and Manchuria from 1935 to 1939.It was also revealed that lower-ranking civil servants cooperated in forging family registers.
The Japanese government's response strengthened the crackdown on sex traffickers from 1937 to 1938, and issued an order of caution against the crackdown on intermediaries.
Choi Myung-ho's case: On May 13, 1939, the Korean Peninsula edition of the Osaka Asahi Shimbun reported the girl's testimony.Choi Myeong-ho was hired as a maid, and Choi Myeong-ho became 16 entrepreneurs, including department store guides, nurses, and female clerks in Gyeongseong.The girl was found by Choi Myung-ho and his gang while trying to escape from the business contact book.After that, he was imprisoned and kicked with his foot day and night .
Busan Otome Trading Incident: Yoo In-ma, who was engaged in Otome Trading, was arrested in August 1939.The Dong-A Ilbo reported on August 31, 1939, that 45 brokers in Busan kidnapped more than 100 women.Companies cleverly said, "Manchuria is doing well."
Fraud Kidnapping: According to the Asahi Shimbun's Namseon edition on November 21, 1939, Kim Dong-yoon, a former temporary employee of Busan Prefecture, kidnapped a woman and a woman through official seal forgery.There were 28 victims, many of whom were kidnapped in the direction of Namyang.
What is the Japanese Military confort woman problem?Human trafficking was frequent on the Korean Peninsula, and people on the Korean Peninsula at that time were responsible for it.The Japanese police were cracking down on these.
postwar compensation and Roh Moo - hyun Japan is waiting for the old people to die.They say it's time-buying, but it's the other way around.So far, the Korean government has compensated the people several times after the war.Moon Jae In is the one who is trying to buy time just because the current government is fleeing.At the time of 2005, Japanese Military Sexual Slavery was not included, but Japan said it would not recognize government-led coercion, and it goes without saying that the 2015 Japanese Military Sexual Slavery agreement was comprehensive.

In February 2004, the Seoul Administrative Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, demanding that five of the 57 documents related to the Korea-Japan Claim Agreement be released.The trial began in September 2002 when a group of bereaved families of Japanese victims of forced mobilization demanded that the government confirm the details of the Korea-Japan agreement.
As a result, Japan's compensation issue, which was temporarily settled after the signing of the Korea-Japan Claim Agreement in 1965, and compensation in the 1970s, has resurfaced.It's a kind of second round.
At that time, the government appealed on the grounds of its impact on bilateral relations.However, in August 2004, former President Roh Moo Hyun abandoned the appeal after consulting with Cheong Wa Dae, the chief civil society office, and the National Security Council (NSC) at a meeting of senior aides.
After the release of the claim agreement in January 2005, public opinion began that the amount of compensation paid by the government in 1975 was very small compared to that received by Japan.From 1975 to 1977, the Park Chung-hee administration spent 90 percent of its 300 million dollars on economic development and only 10 percent on compensation.Only 8,552 of the estimated 1.03 million victims of forced mobilization benefited.
Accordingly, the Roh Moo Hyun government has prepared follow-up measures.At that time, former President Roh Moo-hyun and Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan set four criteria: (1) support in other ways than legal compensation, (2) support through national compromise and consultation, and (4) support in parliament.To this end, the organization organized is the Public-Private Joint Committee.It consists of 21 people, including 10 private committee members, including Yang Samsung Law Firm Hwa-woo, Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan, and 11 government officials.
On 26 August 2005, the Joint Committee on Civil and Government Affairs announced the results of the following discussions.
(1) Anti-humanitarian illegal activities involving Japanese military forces such as Japanese Military Sexual Slavery, Sakhalin compatriots, and atomic bomb victims are not included in the Korea-Japan Claim Agreement.
(2) The $300 million loan received from Japan reflects the South Korean government's claim to Japan, such as personal property rights (insurance, deposits, etc.), bonds with Japan, and funds related to the resolution of forced mobilization damage.
(3) The South Korean government is morally responsible for using a considerable amount of free money received from Japan to help victims of forced mobilization (the South Korean government calculated $360 million in compensation for forced mobilization out of $1.22 billion requested from Japan in 1961).
(4) While continuing to hold the Japanese government accountable for the issue of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery, it will continue to raise the issue through international organizations.

Korean anti - Japanese activities taking place in New York: How should we deal with them, as they are so outrageous?
In November 2019, the Korea Liberation Association urged the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban the use of the Rising Sun flag at the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics in Manhattan Square, New York, United States. marching through the city.
The person who is kneeling down on the ground is Kim Won-eun, the chairman of the Gwangjukai. It is said that Japan is losing to South Korea's lobbying efforts, but this is the reality. Japanese people are not aware that they are conducting activities like this in the United States, a completely different country, which is completely based on no facts and deviates from common sense.
The Gwangbuk-kai, which refers to independence from Japan as Gwangbuk, is the central organization for anti-Japanese activities tied to the so-called Korean government.
In South Korea, there are many anti-Japanese organizations that receive support from the government.
They proudly print a historical error that equates the Nazis with Japan on flags and march through the streets of New York.
They are using this to appeal to the American people to ban the use of the Rising Sun flag at the Tokyo Olympics, which is another logically bankrupt activity, but they don't care about that.
The Nazis were a socialist party that practiced dictatorship and massacred six million Jews.
Japan's Greater East Asia War was a war of Western colonial liberation in Asia, and the only things Japan has in common with the Nazis are that the enemy was a power that continued to expand through colonial rule, and that they lost the war.
The Japan-German-Italy Tripartite Pact was not about jointly fighting a war, but rather a non-interference pact that stipulated that Japan would not intervene in wars in Europe, and Germany and Italy would not intervene in wars in Asia.
South Korea conveniently cites the Nazis and criticizes Japan. They know very little about the difference between Japan and the Nazis.
