  1. “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. 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 prostitute. 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. 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, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. --Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  2. 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.

  4. We in the West have embraced an odd "narrative." The Japanese army of the 1930s and 1940s, we write, forcibly drafted 200,000 mostly Korean teenage girls into "rape camps" called "comfort stations." Should anyone question the story, we summarily consign the person to "denier" status. This makes for a strange phenomenon. Only a few of the comfort women claim to have been forcibly recruited, and several of them had told a different story before the reparations campaign against Japan began. A strongly leftist affiliate runs their nursing home, controls whom they can see, and vilifies any woman who might say anything else. In fact, no one has ever located any documentary evidence that the Japanese military forcibly recruited any Korean woman into a comfort station. And when Korean academics question the orthodox account, their own government sometimes prosecutes them for criminal defamation -- indeed, sent one heterodox professor last fall to six months in prison -Comfort Women and the Professors HARVARD JOHN M.

  5. "Comfort Women = Sex Slaves" Theory By Fujioka Nobukatsu Totsuka Etsuro: The author of the “sex slave” concept The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro(CCP’s lobbyist) Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”. The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts. Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day. According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows: “It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

  7. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japanese government was deceived by the comfort women’s lies and apologized many times and paid huge amounts of compensation to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. *South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women even though there was no coercion. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan” *Asian Women’s Fund When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.” And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order.

  8. If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for US/UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea? U.S. Soldiers and South Korea’s “Western Princesses” 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**tution 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.

  12. The US Report No. 49, of 20 Korean comfort girls: “Prisoner of War, his wife and sister-in-law had made some money as restaurant keepers in KEIJO [present-day Seoul], KOREA, but their trade declining, they looked for an opportunity to make more money and applied to Army Headquarters in KEIJO for permission to take ‘comfort girls’ from KOREA to BURMA….” “Prisoner of war purchased 22 Korean girls, paying their families from 300 to 1000 yen according to the personality, looks and age of the girl. These 22 girls were of ages from 19 to 31. They became the sole property of prisoner of war and the Army made no profits from them….” “Every ‘comfort girl’ was employed on the following contract conditions. She received fifty percent of her own gross takings and was provided with free passage, free food and free medical treatment. The passage and medical treatment were provided by the Army authorities, the food was purchased by the brothel owner with the assistance of the Army supply depots. The owners made other profits by selling clothing, necessities and luxuries to the girls at exorbitant charges. When a girl is able to repay the sum of money paid to her family, plus interest, she should be provided with a free return passage to KOREA, and then considered free….”

  16. 1953 Jul 21 - "Country Girls Lured into Pros*titution" This July 7, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo describes a typical means by which innocent Korean girls were lured into pros**tution. That is, they are promised a good job, put into debt, and then forced to pay back the debt by working as pros**tutes. “When I was in South Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, the typical method was to put ads promising high-paying waitress jobs in cheap magazines. When girls showed up, they were given a furnished apartment to put them in high-interest debt, which their waitress salaries would never be able to pay off, which forced them into pros**tution. At that time a person could not walk away from debt or declare personal bankruptcy.” Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution Go Ok-i (高玉伊), a 53-year-old woman who lives at No. 83 on 3rd Street in the Cho Ryang-dong area of Hanmok City, was operating a comfort woman business for UN servicemen until she suspended operations because of financial difficulties. Then on the 3rd of this month, with the intention of reopenning her business, Ms. Go had her maid, Im Mi-ja (林미子), lure five virgins, including 15-year-old Gang Pil-yeon (姜必連) of Jinju City (at No. 888 in Tongbong-dong), to Busan with promises of getting them jobs in the 34th Military Hospital. Telling the girls that they would need to wear "high-class" clothes if they expected to be hired, Ms. Go gave each of the six girls an advance of 5,000 hwan worth of high-class clothing with the idea of putting them to work as comfort women. However, she was detected by police authorities prior to that, and on the 7th, Ms. Go and Ms. Im were undergoing intense questioning at the Investigation Section of the Busan Police Department.

  19. As academics, we are used to dealing with exaggerations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. -HARVARD university JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS

Kadınlardan biri (Bae Chun-hee) bana bir Japon askeriyle yaşadığı romantizmi hatırladığını söyledi. Onu satan babasından nefret ettiğini söyledi. Ayrıca, oradaki kadınların Kore konseyi (Comfort women's organization) tarafından sahte tanıklıklar vermek için eğitilmeyi takdir etmediklerini, ancak Kore konseyi'nin emrine uymak zorunda kaldıklarını söyledi. Japonya, 1995 yılında Asyalı Kadınlar Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde, 61 eski Koreli konfor kadını Kore konseyi'nin emrine meydan okudu ve tazminatı kabul etti. O 61 kadın hain olarak aşağılandı. İsimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Bu yüzden kadınların geri kalanı Kore konseyinden korkuyordu ve bir daha meydan okumaya cesaret edemezdi. Kore konseyi (üyelerinden bazıları Kuzey Kore casusları olarak tutuklandı), konfor kadınları meselesini ABD-Japonya-Güney Kore güvenlik ortaklığına bir kama sürmek olan siyasi amacı için kullandı.” -Comfort Women Articles by Scholars

In fact, the girls told me they could not go to the local police for help because they believed them to be working with the pimps.” Evil Pimp Arrested [Daegu] Jin Yong-hui, who operates a "who*re house" at No. 67 Kyo-dong in Daegu City, has been brought in for questioning, without detention, at the Daegu Women's Police Station. Ms. Jin is charged with previously telling 21-year-old Kim Hak-i (金學伊) that she would pay her debt of 30,000 hwan if she would work for one month as a comfort woman, but when Ms. Kim could no longer endure the suffering and tried to escape on the 7th, she was illegally confined and beaten numerous times.

In 2014 1,400 persons were prosecuted for perjury, 172 times the Japanese equivalent (or 430 times, if population difference is taken into account). There were 1,250 times as many charges stemming from false accusations than in Japan. Insurance fraud is rampant; in 2014 total insurance fraud amounted to 4.5 trillion won, 100 times the US figure” These figures alone give a clear picture of the nature of disputes between Japan and Korea.

  27. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent and untrustworthy 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. ⚫︎ 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. ⚫︎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. ⚫︎ 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 abducted 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 swindlers"

  28. 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.

  30. It says: “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.” “There’s no mass abd-uction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  31. The US Report, of 20 Korean comfort girls: “Prisoner of War, his wife and sister-in-law had made some money as restaurant keepers in KEIJO [present-day Seoul], KOREA, but their trade declining, they looked for an opportunity to make more money and applied to Army Headquarters in KEIJO for permission to take ‘comfort girls’ from KOREA to BURMA….” “Prisoner of war purchased 22 Korean girls, paying their families from 300 to 1000 yen according to the personality, looks and age of the girl. These 22 girls were of ages from 19 to 31. They became the sole property of prisoner of war and the Army made no profits from them….” “Every ‘comfort girl’ was employed on the following contract conditions. She received fifty percent of her own gross takings and was provided with free passage, free food and free medical treatment. The passage and medical treatment were provided by the Army authorities, the food was purchased by the brothel owner with the assistance of the Army supply depots. The owners made other profits by selling clothing, necessities and luxuries to the girls at exorbitant charges. When a girl is able to repay the sum of money paid to her family, plus interest, she should be provided with a free return passage to KOREA, and then considered free….”

  32. Even before the war, Koreans offered tens of thousands of tribute women to China every year for hundreds of years, and after WW2, they encouraged women to become comfort women as heroes to earn dollars as a national project. As a result, more than one million Korean women worked as comfort women during the Korean war.

  33. 🇰🇷＝🇰🇵🇨🇳🏴‍☠️ The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into German and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. The IWG report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.

  34. A Taiwanese eye witness testified: "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a spy and accuse you of being a war criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  35. We in the West have embraced an odd "narrative." The Japanese army of the 1930s and 1940s, we write, forcibly drafted 200,000 mostly Korean teenage girls into "rape camps" called "comfort stations." Should anyone question the story, we summarily consign the person to "denier" status. This makes for a strange phenomenon. Only a few of the comfort women claim to have been forcibly recruited, and several of them had told a different story before the reparations campaign against Japan began. A strongly leftist affiliate runs their nursing home, controls whom they can see, and vilifies any woman who might say anything else. In fact, no one has ever located any documentary evidence that the Japanese military forcibly recruited any Korean woman into a comfort station. And when Korean academics question the orthodox account, their own government sometimes prosecutes them for criminal defamation -- indeed, sent one heterodox professor last fall to six months in prison -Comfort Women and the Professors HARVARD JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS

  36. “As academics, we are used to dealing with exaggerations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. -HARVARD university JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS

  37. Korean scholars testified: “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. 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. 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, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. --Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  38. 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 Rabaul, Papua New Guinea to provide sex to Japanese/ Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in S Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no S Koreans contested that notion. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of abd_ucting Korean comfort women. S Korean communists with close ties to N Korea thought this was a great opportunity to discredit Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and S Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women lies worldwide.
    15
  39. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japanese government was deceived by the comfort women’s lies and apologized many times and paid huge amounts of compensation to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. *South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women even though there was no coercion. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan” *Asian Women’s Fund When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.” And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order.

  40. Korea insists 200,000 Korean women were kidnapped and raped. According to Korea, almost all sex slaves were killed or committed suicide soon after the end of the war. The number of victims were far more than that of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. However, Korea can not find even one article in newspapers in those days or soon after the war on this massacre. The population pyramid does not show the sign too. Japanese communist Yoshida Seiji published “My war crime” in Japan in 1983. The book says “I abducted 200 women and raped in Cheju island in Korea.” Japanese Newspaper Asahi interviewed him and reported on the book many times. Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. The book also published in Korea in 1989 and was dramatized for TV in 1991. The audience ratings were quite high. A old woman came forward to sue Japanese government for money, she is the first prostitute in public. Supporting group was formed, the representaive of the group who arrested on fraud was mother-in-law of the Asahi reporter, Takashi Uemura. Korean local Newspaper, The Cheju verified the book in Cheju island and reported there was no woman that was abducted and raped by the Japanese army. The newspaper criticized Yoshida as “shameful businessman.” Yoshida said “ All book is biased by its author.” In the end, he conceded the book was a fiction before his death. But Korean Newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo that is the major newspapers in South Korea said in 5 Sep 2012 that “Only this book is enough to verify that Japanese army kidnapped women and raped.” Though in 2014 The Asahi canceled 18 articles and 495 columns for 14 years from 1980. Lies about Japan are not corrected in Korea.

  41. 🇰🇷＝🇰🇵🇨🇳☠️ Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo on August 31, 1939. It says, "About 100 Korean women were abd*ucted by Korean comfort station owners' agents but were rescued by Japanese policemen." There are dozens of reports like this. ⚫︎ East Asia Daily, December 4, 1938.

  42. -Coaching comfort women and stage-managing testimonies at the UN Tachi saw one other important thing during the UN conference. When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (activists close tie with communists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  43. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO thre_atened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the Korea, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros**tutes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  45. Try searching “comfort women newspaper advertisements, you will find many ads placed by Korean comfort station owners. A recruitment advertisement for comfort women by a private company called “Imai Introductory Service” (Korean owner) in a newspaper during that time, it said as follows: Monthly income of 300 yen or more (★Advances of up to 3000yen may be granted) ⚫︎average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. ★Pre-borrowing referred to an agreement in which money could be borrowed before you work.

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. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  48. Lee Young-hoon, Korean professor of Seoul National University says “It is an internationally well-known fact that SK has a culture of lies. In 2014 1,400 persons were prosecuted for perjury, 172 times the Japanese equivalent (or 430 times, if population difference is taken into account). There were 1,250 times as many charges stemming from false accusations than in Japan. Insurance fraud is rampant; in 2014 total insurance fraud amounted to 4.5 trillion won, 100 times the US figure” These figures alone give a clear picture of the nature of disputes between Japan and Korea.
    14
  49. “South Koreans, expatriates or not, also claim the comfort women were sexual slaves for the troops. This is another false claim. Fact is that the troops paid money according to their rank to the comfort station manager, that each of them was given a certain time to be with a comfort woman, and that comfort women earned money for their sexual service. The women engaged in pros**tution as profession were not sexual slaves. Were the comfort women victims of war crime? No! The McDougall Report of 1998 submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Commission states, in part, war crimes are defined as one nation’s troops committing kid* napping, raping, and murdering women of an adversary nation during an international conflict or an armed clash. Korea and Japan were not hostile with each other then. Korean women, as well as Korean men, were Japanese nationals. The comfort stations were provided for troops so as not to rape women in the occupied areas. The stations were legal entities, not to mention the official contracts the station managers and comfort women signed with each other. Those women should not be regarded as the victims of war crimes.” -Korean History Textbook Research Institute
