Yoon Mee Hyang, an executive of the comfort women org who was indicted for donation fraud last year, revealed this.
When Lee Yong soo first called me, she said.
"I am not a comfort woman, but a friend of mine was."

“Yoon sounded as though Lee was not a comfort woman. If she is not a comfort woman, they have been exploiting her for their own purposes..

This is unacceptable.”

Addressing historical accuracy in such a highly contentious issue is difficult for anyone, especially when it concerns Koreans.

However, such a claim must be based on truth, for without it, one loses moral rights to the claim in its entirety.

Meanwhile, China, North Korea and the leftist forces in both South Korea and Japan have been conspiring to undermine freedom in South Korea, with the intention to target South Korea’s neighbors next.

Domestically, they have been oppressing the rights of those who believe in individual sovereignty.
There are enough South Koreans who believe that the common path of Korea and Japan lies in the future, not the past.

We want to forge close ties with our allies, the US and Japan, in the face of totalitarian forces engulfing Northeast Asia.
We must work together to address anti-Japanism that is destabilizing Northeast Asian security.

The first step is to address the issue of historical accuracy.
If we want to get to the truth, then the foundation must also be based on the truth."
