  1. Please don't disseminate such lies. All Korean comfort women were those who applied for it as a job. They were not forced to be comfort women. According to the Japanese military employment regulations, women working there must be at least 17 years old, and minors need parental consent. And in all cases, it was forbidden to force women to work in comfort stations against their will. In the case of Korean women, Korean brokers were involved in recruiting women. And although there are some records that Korean recruiters tried to break these rules, they were arrested. The women who applied for the job had to have an interview and medical examination by a military doctor. At that time, a woman whose age was below the rule was returned home. Records show that women in comfort stations were between 21 and 25 years old. According to the best-selling book "反日種族主義" in Korea, there were at most 3,600 Korean comfort women. And according to the records, they were highly paid. Some of them earned $600,000 in three years when converted to their current value.

  2. Christiane Clark During the pacific war, women and students were required to do factory work to make up for the labor shortage. Teenage schoolgirls who worked in such factories were called "挺身隊" and were praised as patriots who worked hard for their country. Later, misleading that the girls in the "挺身隊" were made comfort women occurred. Based on this misleading, the Korean group(挺対協) had claimed internationally that "teenage girls were forced to work in comfort stations." However, in recent years, it was revealed that the girls of 挺身隊 were not comfort women. So, the group was changed the name, from 挺対協 to 正義連 without any correction or apologizing for their previous wrong claims. "反日種族主義" was written by Korean scholar, 李栄薫. He worships the anti-Japanese thinker 李承晩, but has published the results of his research based on past material. You can watch the digest of this book on YouTube, so please refer to it. ↓ https://www.youtube.com/c/이승만TV

  3. Japan is not denying comfort women and comfort stations, but denying the "forced entrainment" claimed by South Korea. During the war, women and students were required to work in Japanese factories to make up for the labor shortage in Japan. The female students who worked in such factories were called "Teishintai". The number of Teishintai girls was about 200,000. Decades after the war, in South Korea, it was misread that this "Teishintai" girls were working at comfort stations. Based on this misreading, a South Korean group had claimed internationally that: “200,000 teenage girls of Teishintai were forced to work in a Japanese military comfort stations." After that, in recent years, the evidence was revealed that the Teishintai’s girls were not comfort women. The group silent without any apologizing or correcting for their wrong claims. People in the group formed another group and started similar activities. The new group is spreading internationally their clams that: "200,000 girls were forced to work in Japanese military comfort stations." I think because believing their claim, you stated "Japan needs proof that 200,000 women were not forced into each." However, those claims were fabricated and later added, as mentioned above. Japanese just do not think that it is necessary to apologize or compensate for lies and fabrications added later. In addition, According to the book “反日種族主義：반일 종족주의”, there were approximately 3,600 comfort women of Korean at most.
