Comfort women existed after WW2 as well.
To recruit prostitutes for the Korean and UN forces, the Korean government continued to use the name "慰安婦" which Japan had named during wartime.
The following articles are all about comfort women for the US and UN armed forces.
According to the 1952 "Special Comfort Women Performance Statistics" in the Korean Army's personnel files, 89 “comfort women“ belonging to 4 platoons in Seoul and Gangneung provided sexual services to 204,580 servicemen per year.
American military comfort women were also known as 洋公主(Western princesses).
Here are some articles from the 1950s and 1960s on the subject of the "Western Princesses".
Some of them were so despondent about their lives that they attempted suicide or were beaten by American soldiers.
Comfort women with venereal disease were sent to the place called the monkey house.
122 former U.S. comfort women filed a lawsuit against South Korea for damages in 2014, but three years and three months have passed without a final decision by the Supreme Court, and 10 of the plaintiffs have died.

The brothels were renamed "Juicy Bars" and continued to be used by the US military until recently.
Many of the women who worked there were foreigners brought from the Philippines and other countries, and it became a hotbed of human trafficking. stripes.com/news/juicy-bar…
My point here is not to blame the US.
It is about that the Korean government, academics and journalists who attack Japan, demonised by many lies, continue to ignore this fact.
"What aboutism" does not work here.

まさかこの”写真”の人物が弥助だとでも思っているのだろうか。
どう見ても江戸時代以降?
ところがFacebook等にもこれがまるで弥助であるかの様に拡散されていて驚いた。
日本人の知らない所でファンタジーが日本史として語られるのは本当に気持ち悪い。
弥助として度々取り上げられているこの像は
ケープタウンを拠点にリサイクルタイヤを利用したアートを手掛けるNicola Roosが2015年に作成したもの。このアーティスト達も「弥助は、記録に残る歴史上唯一のアフリカ系侍であり、日本の封建国家の統一に不可欠な役割を果たした」と信じている。 Image
このHPには、「弥助について確認できる唯一の記述は、信長の日記にある。そこには弥助が自分の皮膚の墨をこすり取るように頼まれたとき」と書いているにも関わらず、「弥助は日本語の習得に長けており、信長の遺品を信長の遺族に返す役に選ばれた」という願望を記述。

What he ignores is “US military comfort women”.
Some say that those who deny that “comfort women were forced sex slaves” are like Holocaust deniers.
However, if the comfort women system was a war crime like the Holocaust, then there would have been no US military comfort women. Image
After the end of World War II, Korea was placed under the control of the US military. The US military continued to use Japan's licensed prostitution system to control venereal diseases. Image
STD exam was carried out monthly and those who failed were taken away of their licenses. Also, prostitutes who had STDs were quarantined until treatment was completed. Image

The Korean War claimed many civilian casualties and had a huge negative impact on the life expectancy and population of the Korean people.
But the massacres committed by both sides at that time are now being forgotten.
The following US military reports are part of a criminal record of large-scale executions of POWs and civilians by North Korean and Chinese forces.
It also includes descriptions of torture and brutal killing methods.
the Taejon massacre of September 1950, there were many female victims, some of whom were killed with their babies on their backs.

After Japan's defeat in the war, the Japanese who were on the Korean peninsula suffered greatly.
The rape and murder of the Japanese by the Soviet soldiers who ruled North Korea were particularly horrific.
This is a record of the content of letters and telegrams censored by US forces in Korea in December 1945.
It describes theft, rape and murder by US troops, but even so many Japanese said that US soldiers were much better than Soviet soldiers.

It describes not only the rape of many Japanese women by Soviet soldiers but also the sexual assault of women after they committed suicide.
“ The Soviet Army’s treatment of Japanese women in North Korea cannot be described” according to a woman writing from Seoul. Image

女児は学校に行かせずに早婚させ、身分の高い女性は基本的に外に出られず、許可が出てもベールで姿を隠さなければならず、万が一家族以外の男性が女性に触れれば父や夫が彼女達を殺害する事も有った。
もし妻が逃げ出したら夫は妻に体罰を与えたり、使用人に妾として下げ渡す事が許されていた。
まるで今話題になっているタリバンによる女性への仕打ちの様だが、これは李氏朝鮮時代の女性の扱われ方。
女性のスポーツ参加、社会進出、夫の不貞を理由にした女性からの離婚を出来る様になったのは日本統治時代。
日本統治時代に朝鮮人の人口は増え、平均寿命は(1918年のスペイン風邪の影響を除く)伸びた。また、女性の初婚平均年齢は僅かだが上昇し、女性の健康状態は向上した(The population of Korea,1975)。
この事実は今やすっかり無かった事にされている。

There are claims that Koreans were forcibly conscripted into the Japanese Imperial Army for years, but Korean men wanted to join the army even to the point of writing petitions sealed in their blood. The number of volunteers was always higher than the capacity.
Allied POW interrogation reports show that Japanese soldiers rarely discriminated against Koreans and that they studied at the same military school and some of them became officers. One of my grandfather's superiors in North China was a Korean.
It is often said that Koreans were forced to change their names to Japanese names during the Japanese occupation, but this is not true.
They were allowed to use Japanese names.
Not only civilians but also some Koreans who joined the Japanese army kept their Korean names.
