Korea UNIQLO turns into a significant surplus in 2021
FRF El Korea, which operates Uniqlo in South Korea, has announced its results for fiscal year 2021 (September 1, 2020 to August 31, 2021).
Operating profit was 52.9 billion won (approximately 5.1 billion yen), a significant turnaround from a deficit of 88.4 billion won in the previous fiscal year. The company aimed to improve profits by reorganizing existing stores, and strengthened sales at its online store in response to increased demand for online shopping due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
One industry source said in an interview, ``The year after the boycott movement, the new coronavirus broke out.Uniqlo's shift to online was a blessing in disguise.''
MEMO Even in the midst of a country-wide boycott movement, it is amazing to see a return to surplus. The reason behind this seems to be the expansion of online shopping due to the coronavirus.
UNIQLO has become a symbol of the boycott movement
Fast Retailing's CFO Ken Okazaki said that ``boycotts will not last long,'' which infuriated the Korean media, and the fierce criticism of UNIQLO became heated.
Also, in the Korean UNIQLO commercial, a 13-year-old woman asks, "How did you used to dress when you were my age?" and a 98-year-old woman asks, "How did you use to dress when you were my age?" The woman further sparked a boycott by saying, "Oh my god, I can't remember that far back." as insulting to comfort women.
The 98-year-old woman was 13 years old during the Japanese colonial era, but she thought it was an insult to forget that. Looking at the results, CFO Okazaki's prediction was correct.
If he asked the boycotters about this, would he say, "I can't remember that far back"?
POINT FCO Okazaki seems to have a good understanding of the Korean national character of getting hot easily and getting cold easily. In addition, there seem to be many people who completely ignore self-contradiction.

Professor Ramseyer's negative statement [There is no evidence of forced abduction of comfort women] is a complete lie. [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)''.
[Excerpt above]
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.
Are comfort women women's volunteer corps? If you read the ``Women's Volunteer Labor Ordinance,'' you will see that it is a clear lie.
Below is an excerpt from the Women's Volunteer Corps Labor Order. Only those certified by the National Vocational Ability Declaration Ordinance could join the volunteer corps (Article 3).
Excerpts from the National Vocational Ability Declaration Order, which is the basis for Article 3, are also posted thereafter.
It was a proud profession in which only the most talented women could join the volunteer corps. In South Korea, it is believed that women who were sleeping at train stations were taken away and forced to become comfort women. Apparently they think volunteer corps and comfort women are the same thing. The women's volunteer corps is not such a funny story, but it is a group of female workers who were brought together by imperial edict.
The detailed application details and the local commissioner will check your skills. When people confuse comfort women with the volunteer corps, they have no idea what the volunteer corps is. Incidentally, the Women's Volunteer Corps Labor Order has not been issued on the Korean Peninsula.

Modern conform women In most cases, endless wars involve economic factors.In the first place, war is triggered by the economy.Looking at the Middle East problem in this respect, the business surrounding it will expand, take root in society, and have a strong social voice in the long-standing conflict structure.They become groups that don't want to end the war.
What about the anti-Japanese movement, anti-Japanese economy in this view?If politicians, left-wing media, university professors, teachers' unions, critics, social activists, and many people earn income through anti-Japanese movement, connect with each other, and have social voice, this trend will not stop.Another reason is that human trafficking brokers are still active in Korea.In California, most foreign women working in sex-related industries are Korean, and in Australia, a large organization of Korean brokers has been caught.This is the ongoing Sexual Slavery problem.
During the Joseon Dynasty, most of the people were servants and were bought and sold by brokers.It is a huge market, and it will not disappear easily under Japanese rule.Japan abolished the status system.In other words, it must have been quite troublesome to lose the broker's servant.The Japanese police at that time must have caught Japanese Military Sexual Slavery several times for illegally mediating.
What would happen if such organizations were linked to the anti-Japanese movement and Japanese Military Sexual Slavery business?What if a large amount of foreign currency is introduced into Korea from women working abroad through brokers to build a statue of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery and if that money to use for promotion of anti-Japanese propaganda?It is also a place to hide that continues to make a fuss about Japan decades ago and incites public opinion that it is worse.
It is surprising that the modern version of the Japanese Military Sexual Slavery problem does not generate any social interest even if it continues to condemn Japan, a country that has no hope of solving the problem.Moon Jae In, who is sensitive to women's rights, does not seem to be active in this issue.
Japan's conversational AI robots are amazing! South Korea is developing AI comfort women! ? Japan heading towards the future and South Korea living in the past.
Surprisingly, South Korea seems to be developing AI comfort women in order to preserve the memories of comfort women forever. Japan is developing an interactive android.
At South Korea's AI comfort women, Lee Yong-soo, the symbol of comfort women, is waiting. He is the person who testified before the US House of Representatives and the person who hugged former President Trump when he visited South Korea. It is said that the AI comfort women who have gained eternal life will be able to answer questions from various people.
Characteristics of android ERIKA: Our goal is to bring together all kinds of technologies for the purpose of dialogue and challenge the extent to which dialogue is possible. Using various sensors, it expresses facial expressions and gestures that correspond to the conversation with the other person.
When you first meet, you don't have deep conversations, but as your communication progresses, you start having private conversations. Development that enables long and deep conversations between humans. Rather than a set task that assumes a receptionist at a company, it allows the interviewer to ask in-depth questions and listen attentively.
Characteristics of Android U: ERIKA is designed to communicate using a process similar to humans, while U will communicate and provide services even if it uses a different method than humans. In Internet live broadcasts using U, viewers read and respond to chats from viewers.
At first, a human enters input and responds repeatedly, but it learns the patterns and eventually speaks autonomously.
Features of CommU: Developed with the assumption that multiple people will interact. Enabling social dialogue. When a human participates in a conversation between CommUs, a corresponding conversation occurs.
ibuki's characteristics: Child-like android. By looking like a child and acting like a child, they learn while actively seeking help from those around them.
The usage and purpose of AI technology are too different between Japan and South Korea. Does this mean that Japan is looking toward the future and Korea is living in the past?
