Even university professor can't tell the truth in Korea

By -

As commented by pandar on this blog, Professor Yi Yong Hung of Seoul University revealed that the Korean comfort women were just prostitutes in 2004.

There are lots more scholars who were criticized because of their interpretations in favor of Japanese rule before 1945.

Dear Mr Ikeda,

I really appreciate your work and that you have created a blog focused on the Comfort Women.

The parliaments of Canada and the Netherlands also have adopted similar resolutions. However, interest in the comfort women issue has not necessarily been high in Europe. The European Parliament's resolution was advocated by the minor Green Party and fewer tha

The Asahi Shimbun reported in the front page on 11 January 1992 that the historian Yoshiaki Yoshimi discovered documents that proves the Army's "commitment" to comfort women in the archives of Japan's Defense Agency.
