As a japanese, I feel so ashamed for what they did. No human deserved what these girls and women went through. This video should never be deleted. These women deserve to be honored and remembered.
You demand apologies. They argue that members of the Women’s Volunteer Labor Corps were forced to become military prostitutes, which is total nonsense. Why do Koreans continue to indulge in such shameless behavior? The claim that members of the Women’s Volunteer Labor Corps were military prostitutes is worse than misguided; it is an outright lie. The two have absolutely no connection with each other. Who supervised this video? If you are truly Japanese, you should know that The Korean Council's claims are incorrect. In accordance with the National Labor Mobilization Order issued in 1941, all unmarried women between the ages of 14 and 25 were required to serve their country by working in a factory or other production facility for a total of 30 days per year. August 1944, with the issuance of the Women’s Volunteer Labor Ordinance, industrial service became mandatory for women. The ordinance applied to Korean women as well, but unlike in Japan proper, it elicited little response, but the Government-General did not want to force the issue by making women’s labor mandatory. But most of the volunteer work took place in nearby factories. It was very rare to assign Korean women to factories in Japan proper. And the corps never had any connection with military prostitutes, who worked in overseas war zones. An Byeong-jik, a former Seoul University professor, supervised a research report based on interviews with former military prostitutes (Testimonies, Part I: Korean Women Forced To Serve as Military Prostitutes). According to that report, of 19 somewhat reliable testimonies, only two of the women said that they were compelled to join the Women’s Volunteer Labor Corps and taken to Busan, in one case, and Toyama, in the other. Both allegations are dubious and, in any case, neither Busan nor Toyama was a battle zone. Former comfort women’s statements are likely to be unreliable, or even contrived. But it was not Koreans, but left-wing Japanese human rights activists who launched a “comfort women campaign” founded on lies. Don't you think that Japanese people like this should be ashamed? They are fighting to assert their communist ideology. Those who brandish the human rights banner in this particular case are committing unconscionable, international fraud.
I believe that the international community should stand up against the atrocities committed by Japan during World War II. Japan has never fully apologised for their actions and it's time for them to take responsibility. Every Japanese embassy around the world should erect a memorial statue to honor the victims and remind Japan of their past. It's time for Japan to acknowledge their role in history and make amends for their crimes.
Comfort women was legal and acceptable at that time and USA had ‘comfort institutions’ during occupation of Japan It is like criticizing Korean elderly people who used to eat dogs It is stupid to ask Japan of an apology, from Japan.
@@macbook3562 Ignorant statement. Such a shameful statement. This is the reason why some people never change. Forcing them and raping them you called that legal? The entire world should get to know about Japan's dark history
Japan apologized 11 times for the 'comfort women' myth. 1. Statement by Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato in 1992 2. Statement by Chief Cabinet Secretary Kono in 1993 3. Fund statement by Chief Cabinet Secretary Igarashi in 1995 4. Statement by Prime Minister Murayama in 1995 5. Letter from 1996 by Hara, Chairman of the Asian Women's Fund 6. Letter from Prime Minister Hashimoto in 1997 7. Letter from 1998 President Hara of the Asian Women's Fund 8. Statement by Prime Minister Koizumi in 2005 9. Statement by Prime Minister Kan in 2010 10. Announcement of the Japan-ROK Agreement by Foreign Minister Kishida in 2015 11. Remarks by Prime Minister Abe in 2015 (represented by Foreign Minister Kishida) and many more, may be! Please correct me if these are mistakes. This video touches on the essence of the problem. ua-cam.com/video/5G7wTbs0SK8/v-deo.html Why does this dispute seem to go away? It's easy to know the answer since your Yoon Mee Hyang has already made this answer simple. The problem is that under the Moon administration, the elderly women who accepted Japan's apology and compensation are not covered by the media and are forgotten. Most of the Korean media have only published information on support groups and some left-wing scholars without thinking for themselves. As a result, incorrect information was reported to the West. Korean citizens? In other words, they have been completely brainwashed by such a regime and media, and have practiced literal anti-Japanese tribalism instead of showing interest in the truth. There has been some influence from left-wing activists and feminist groups in Japan, but they are out of the question as they are only using the comfort women myth for their own gain. What matters to them is ideology, and they don't care about the truth about comfort women. Under the current administration, excellent scholars have come to assert the truth more freely, numerous Facts have been published along with valuable primary sources, and it's now possible anyone can freely touch the once-sealed truth. But I'm still amazed that there are people like you.
So this film is about the Japanese war crime against enslaved woman. You are dismissing this film by saying "history is just history" what the hell does a dumb statement like that mean? Other Countries' war atrocities can be addressed in other films. Can you not focus on the horror of what the Japanese men in the military were capable of & the heartbreaking experience of these woman in the comment section of this film. The fact that other countries have committed atrocities does not negate what this film is dealing with. Don't dismiss the film by making comparisons, that is totally irrelevant.
@@thecook8964 Doofus I’m saying based on what @admiralyisunshin4995 said, not about the video. He said “everybody” should watch in order to not forget the war crimes committed by the Japanese. If that’s the case, we should remember all kinds of atrocities committed by different countries.
This is horrifying! I am so sorry that this happened to anyone! Nobody deserves this especially innocent beings! I hope that anyone who took part in torturing and breaking any of these poor women and girls will get the well deserved karma for it and will never get to get in contact with any living being for the rest of their miserable lives.
I am Japanese. I feel very regretful what my country has done. I hope this brutal events like this will never happen again in future. All victims who went through brutal and harsh period deseve to get justice. The entire world must know about it like how we remember holocaust. Japanese government must not deny the evil period in the past. Japanese government must acknowledge the evil period in the past just like how Germany acknowledge holocaust. This is unforgivable and unacceptable for human rights treatment.
In Indonesia history we being though that the Japanese during there occupation Rape local Women and some of them were under age. But after seeing this I now know that many other woman from other part of Japanese Empire also send to Indonesia.
@@CheronKene I did not say Japan did nothing wrong. I just said we should not take the Allied victory in World War 2 for granted. Do you even understand a word of what I’m saying?
Throughout the history men were taught that women are here to serve to any purpose men can assign to them. Birthing babies, servitude, sexual pleasure, a piece of property that can make money. It also used to be ok to treat us any way they felt like or in other words use any kind of violence. We became victims of war because again we were no more than objects that when damaged our owner would be the one hurt. WW2 was when we started to really fight for a change. Rape isn't about sex, again it's about violence, inflicting torture and enjoying suffering. I guess that the "poor" Japanese soldiers needed to take a rest after a day of committing atrocities and they did that by inflicting suffering on women. One hell of a twisted mentality.
I can’t even tell enough how bad I feel about these poor, innocent women. Stories like these make me furious and feel soooo unfair about being so weak compared to men. If we were all really initially designed by someone, why would women had to be born so weak, defenseless and so emotionally vulnerable?! Why, for god’s sake, these women and many many others had to and still have to suffer so much? All these make me lose faith in humanity and justice one by one..
Firstly, I really hate when a certain type of cruelty and crimes are described and somebody comes with "what about ...". It's like totally denying somebody's suffering with your own agenda. Second, sources please.
@@zoolucinka , I wasn't diminishing the horror of "comfort women", but extending its range to ALL who utilized military advantage (BOTH during wartime AND post-war occupations) to continue their demoralizing abuses against the weaker factions of society! Check out the Japanese "Recreation and Amusement Association", established immediately post-war in Japan--ostensibly to PROTECT the civilian population of Japanese women from the predations of Allied occupational forces! Imagine that... Similarly, in Germany and Italy; later, in Korea and Viet Nam! Look up "Post-war prostitution" in ANY of these cases to sensitize a PROPER offense toward it. So, what's YOUR agenda? To TOTALLY absolve YOUR bad men (perhaps, YOURSELF?) of what you damn THEIR bad men for doing? YOUR "moralistic bridling" isn't tight enough to damn a practice WHEREVER ITS FOUND!
That is another topic for a film if there is evidence. Can you not address what happened in this film? What other countries have done or not done is irrelevant in this comment section, as you are looking for excuses that are totally irrelevant to the enslaved woman in this film
@@thecook8964 , I repeat: "So, what's YOUR agenda? To TOTALLY absolve YOUR bad men (perhaps, YOURSELF?) of what you damn THEIR bad men for doing? YOUR "moralistic bridling" isn't tight enough to damn a practice WHEREVER ITS FOUND!" Shoo, fly...
Our Heavenly Father! In Jesus name, change the mind and heart of those who are responsible for sexual crimes, make them repent and ask for forgiveness to the victims, bring comfort and healing to their sorrows and wounds.

If the comfort women were sex slaves , why did they keep doing the same thing after Japan withdrew ? They were doing the same thing for Americans after then. This Korean video is highly recommended. How South Korea Enslaved Women for U.S. Troops for Years
Women were even hard to get married after a terrible incident by the Japanese army and eventually had to do it again. Please remember that the Japanese soldiers were "forced" to do something terrible to little girls.
Most of the girl victims died alone, struggling all their lives without even informing them of their damage. Japanese atrocities will not be forgiven for any reason. 대부분의 소녀 피해자들은 자신들의 피해 사실조차 알리지 못한 채 평생을 허드렛일을 하며 홀로 생을 마감했습니다. 일본의 만행은 어떤 이유로도 용서받지 못할 것입니다.
Just like the empires were created by European powers and Japan in the past, the United States has military bases all over the world. And wherever the U.S. military bases are located, there are women who provide sex to the U.S. military personnels. There is no doubt that the U.S. military interventions in Vietnam, Iraq and so on had caused suffering to local people especially to women. It is rather ironic that the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution to criticize Japan and comfort women statues keep going up in the U.S. Japan was partly guilty because its imperialism (the Japanese military's invasion into China and Southeast Asia) created the demand for comfort women. But the Korean narrative -- the Japanese military showed up at the doors and abducted young Korean women -- just didn't happen. The Korean brothel operators capitalized on the demand, recruited Korean women, operated comfort stations and made lots of money. Japan has apologized for its part. South Korea should admit its complicity and stop demanding Japan for more apologies.
During WW2 Japanese went to other countries not to help but to invade, make sufferings and chaos. US helped those countries including my own country. My very own Province was successful way back then, the way of living is ok but when the Japanese came everyone chose to hide even those who belongs in a wealthy family. They chose to leave their mansions and because of that the Japanese used their homes as a prison one of the proof to that is the Lizares Mansion located in my very own Province which is Iloilo.
Partly guilty?!🤣 and how dare you change the topic? Drawing an analogy to the US is Whataboutism. No one brought up the US except for you. It's about Japanese War crimes. The fascist regime of Japan didn't recruit them in to prostitution rather kidnapped them by force. There is historical proof for that and you're too ignorant to understand that. And no Japan didn't apologize for the usage of comfort women. It were the former soldiers at best. If Japan did apolologize, they would recognise that act as a war crime which they don't do to this very day. You're a disgraceful conspiracy theorist who spits on those victims
@@succ6102 Is there any evidence that the Imperial Japanese Army forcibly took 200,000 women? This will never come to light no matter how long you search for it. Because it's a made up story. The debate over comfort women is not one between historians putting fact before theory, but, instead, an ideological and political battle in which theory can blind debaters to evidence and proof. But above all it is important to be true. We learn nothing from a made-up story. A lie is just a lie. It wasn't just neighboring South Korea and China carrying out anti-Japanese propaganda. Countries around the world have a negative image of Japan's historical conscience issues, and most of them have been brainwashed by biased media coverage and videos of sad old women's stories, posted harsh comments as if Japan was kind of a bad country. Professor Ahn Byong Jik from the University of Seoul said: "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. ua-cam.com/video/lp42P_DHQEE/v-deo.html They hated their parents who sold them, and the Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Chong Dae Hyup put them on his payroll, their testimonials changed completely." Chong Dae Hyup is asking Japan to apologize for the myth of lies. And they will ask for compensation many times. They are very afraid that the business of comfort women using older women will end. The old women who accuse the Japanese army of being criminals, crying in various videos are being used to earn money by countries and organizations. It was invented as an act of cruelty to the Japanese military for the compensation business. Expressing sympathy for older women who have had a difficult life is fine. Paying money to an ally to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically false. My conclusion is that the comfort women issue is pure political propaganda, disguised as issues of women's human rights. Claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically false. Under the previous leftist government, due to the glorification of comfort women, the government controlled the press and severely suppressed the freedom of expression of academics. For this reason the truth on the subject was not disseminated to the world. Statements that are not based on the truth have seriously damaged the honor of the Japanese. I cannot allow the fact that Japanese children have a distorted sense of guilt and are carried away by defeat. The biggest problem is that the distorted story is used by the anti-Japanese movement in neighboring countries and is used as a shield for the issue of women's human rights. They have deceived the world for their own benefit. Here, you should learn your own hisotry. Koreans claim that Japan deprived Korea of seven vital things and list the seven deprivations as follows: 1. king, 2. sovereignty, 3. human life, 4. land, 5. resources, 6. national language, and 7. personal name. In exchange for "seven deprivations", Japan granted "seven benefits". In particular, with the help of successful agricultural reform, during the 36-year rule of the "Japanese Empire", the population remarkably increased from 10 million to 24 million. Furthermore, the average life expectancy of the Korean population has increased dramatically from 24 years to 45 years. Take the case of the British Empire, where the population of Ireland plummeted by a third after it joined England. In stark contrast, Korea experienced a 2.4-fold statistical increase. If Imperial Japan had exploited Korea, sending people to the miserable depths of poverty or even committing massacres, as Koreans often claim, how, then, could they explain these dramatic population increases? Left scholars ignore these data. In Korea, women had no social status and had never been listed by name on family trees. When Korea became a modern state by annexation with Japan, on the basis that all people were equal, they were allowed to have last names. Women also came to have names.
Oh just wow. Have you just weakly tried to gaslight by shifting blame to others? So let's talk openly, Japan keeps denying the many atrocities committed by them during WW2, that's hardly an apology. I assume you also want Jews to apologize for Holocaust.
@@zoolucinka The essential problem of comfort women issues was poverty. Mostly, poor parents pushed their daughters to work as comfort women in exchange for a few advances, or otherwise, the daughters sacrificed themselves for their families. Therefore, the truth is that there was no compulsory mobilization by the Japanese military. The Comfort Woman Statue is only a symbol of lies and hatred to distort the reality of comfort women, foment conflicts and confrontations, and instill hostility toward Japan in Korean people. In your Clause 1 of Article 2 of the “Act on Livelihood Stability and Memorial Services, etc. for Sexual Slavery Victims for the Japanese Imperial Army,” the Japanese military sexual slavery victims are defined as “those who were forcibly mobilized by the Japanese Imperial Army, sexually abused, and obliged to live as comfort women.” At that time, however, Korean women were not subject to mobilization by a public authority or the official duty of Imperial Japan. There were no such cases, either. This was because comfort women were “working-women” who made contracts with managers of comfort stations and received predetermined wages to offer sexual service. I demand you that identify the women who were officially mobilized by a public duty of Imperial Japan if any among 240 livelihood-stability registrants in the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. We can say definitely that the Korean Council’s 30-year comfort women movement is an international fraud drama that has deceived the South Koreans as well as the world by putting a poor elder at the forefront.
In the same profession of that paranoid story, there is a sequel in just a few years later. The memoir of truth from the returned soldiers. ua-cam.com/video/R3mfU3yNvYc/v-deo.html At the time of the Korean War after pure Japanese left, backward Netherlands Army removed the fact that Korea unscrupulous traders who had approached the soldiers had exploited the money of prostitutes while grinning. But the unscrupulous dealers were too much, so they kept on remaining. If it was a painful experience, why didn't they have no record of telling the UN forces in 22 countries to "Help me from brothels for 10 years."? NOT EVEN ONE. ua-cam.com/video/N8NUFYuagE0/v-deo.html Evidence of testimony against many Koreans at the hearings of U.S. soldiers.
But prostitution and military prostitution have been practiced all over the world since ancient times. Singling out the Japanese military as a horrible example would be nothing less than discriminatory. S.Korean media rarely discusses the well-documented finding that post-1945 South Korean governments also encouraged and supervised brothels for American soldiers or the allegation that South Korean troops patronized local women in Vietnam. If you truly care about women's rights, as you claim to, you should focus not on the past, but on the present, since prostitution exists all over the world, as does military prostitution. Furthermore, if their protest is against women whose rights were violated because they suffered in a battle zone, they should not limit their attention to the comfort women. People of any occupation may be subject to unfair treatment, and may suffer in many ways in a battle zone. Japan acknowledged that women from combatant countries, such as China and Indonesia, were illegally abducted by some soldiers and units. But such war criminals were severely punished by military tribunals. Also Japan has never denied that its military used comfort stations where Korean comfort women worked. In particular, Western emotional complaints have misunderstood this part. Whether it was coercive or not, Japan has apologized repeatedly for wartime suffering as the following video reporting. ua-cam.com/video/lp42P_DHQEE/v-deo.html When Japan apologized for what it did during the war, its sincerity was backed by 78 odd years of good behavior. Nevertheless, should the Japanese generation, who had no experience of war, be attacked because of the war that happened more than 78 years ago? Even now that the full extent of the "comfort women issue" has been revealed, some people still make emotional remarks, but in reality, most scholars have already concluded, except left-wing scholars who prioritize their ideology over the true history, that it is a myth written up for their own benefit only by money-hungry lawyers and a greedy activist group. Such greedy people have no interest in the welfare of former comfort women. This has already been proven in recent trials involving them. The following video is reporting who they are, ua-cam.com/video/5G7wTbs0SK8/v-deo.html The problem is that S.Korea is obstructing the resolution of the issue by forces that do not want this controversy to end for their own interests. Don't you notice that such activist or organization is stirring up anti-Japan here as well? At battlefields in China and Southeast Asia, did you know that most comfort stations of the Imperial Japanese Army were managed and operated by Koreans? The Imperial Japanese Army strictly controlled the health care of comfort women in order to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, but they were not involved in the business of comfort stations. Western women still mistakenly believe that the Imperial Japanese Army was involved in everything, so their anger has been directed to Japan. 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. Korean women were not allowed to leave until their debts were paid off.Any coercion, violence or confinement was exercised by the Korean owners. 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 sex slaves. Soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army were nothing more than guests who used the comfort stations during the short-lived battle. In addition, there were many privately run brothels run by Koreans on the Korean Peninsula at the time. These places are dens of violence and human trafficking, and Ju Ik-jong, an expert on the issue in South Korea and author of the best-selling Korean book Anti-Japan Tribalism, says that traditional Korean barmaids and prostitutes are rather "sex slaves" since they had no physical freedom. The women who were trafficked were unable to repay their debts because their owners charged exorbitant interest on their debts, and their physical freedom was severely restricted. I wonder why S.Korean activists and lawyers have no interest in their traditional "sex slaves", but they continue to demand apology and compensation only from Japan. One cannot help but conclude that there is a hidden, ulterior motive to their demanding reparations and apologies from Japan on the basis of groundless accusations.
Japan's colonial rule over Korea, which lasted from 1910 to 1945, was marked by a series of horrifying atrocities and human rights abuses. While it's important to recognize that not all Japanese individuals or institutions were responsible for these actions, the Japanese government and military engaged in a number of brutal acts during this period. Some of the most well-documented atrocities include: 1. **Forced Labor**: Japan forcibly conscripted hundreds of thousands of Koreans for labor in various industries, including mining, construction, and manufacturing. Conditions were often deplorable, and many workers died from overwork, malnutrition, and disease. 2. **Comfort Women**: The Japanese military set up a system of "comfort stations" where thousands of Korean women were forced into sexual slavery. These women endured extreme physical and psychological abuse, and many did not survive the ordeal. 3. **Forced Experiments**: Japanese scientists conducted gruesome experiments on Korean prisoners, including vivisections and biological warfare tests. These experiments resulted in the deaths of many innocent people. 4. **Massacres**: During Japan's occupation of Korea, there were several incidents of mass killings and massacres of Korean civilians. One notable example is the Gwangju Uprising in 1929, where Japanese police and military forces brutally suppressed a pro-independence demonstration, resulting in hundreds of deaths. 5. **Cultural Suppression**: The Japanese government attempted to erase Korean culture and identity. They banned the use of the Korean language, forced Koreans to adopt Japanese names, and destroyed cultural artifacts and historical records. 6. **Forced Sterilization**: The Japanese government implemented a policy of forced sterilization of Koreans with disabilities or mental illnesses, in an attempt to eliminate what they considered "undesirable" traits from the population. 7. **Forced Relocations and Displacement**: Japanese authorities forcibly relocated Koreans, often confiscating their land and property in the process. This led to widespread poverty and displacement among the Korean population. 8. **Biological Warfare**: There are allegations that Japan conducted biological warfare experiments on Korean prisoners, which included the use of deadly diseases as weapons. thought it goes better? no japan didn't apologise for 90% of the things I mentioned and now I suggest you to do more research and say something because this is just not true at all.
As of March 2023, it is clear that the Korean Council’s comfort women movement must be discontinued right now because so-called ‘Japanese military sexual slavery victims’ do not exist, who are the reason for the existence ofsuch movement. Additionally, they emphasized that Clause 1 of Article 2 of the “Act on Livelihood Stability and Memorial Services, etc. for Sexual Slavery Victims for the Japanese Imperial Army” defined the victims as “those who were forcibly mobilized by Imperial Japan, sexually abused, and obliged to live as comfort women,” but the Korean women at the time were not subject to mobilization by a public authority of Imperial Japan and there were no such cases, either. The essential problem of the comfort women issues was poverty. Mostly, poor parents pushed their daughters to work as comfort women in exchange for a few advances, or otherwise, the daughters sacrificed themselves for their families. Therefore, the truth is that there was no forced mobilization by the Japanese military, and I criticize that the Comfort Woman Statue was nothing but a symbol of lies and hatred to distort the reality of comfort women, foment conflicts and confrontations, and instill hostility toward Japan. Sure, the creators of such propaganda videos should apologize to Japan. And the Korean Council should reveal the truth to the major Western media that used the Korean Council as a source of information. If they refuse it, I demand the Korean Council identify the women who were officially mobilized by a public duty of Imperial Japan if any among 240 livelihood-protection registrants in the Korean Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.
Japanese were selling their own children/women in forced prostitution for centuries until recently and it was prevalent your own government had to pass a bill to stop it! Yet even today due to loop holes and lack of enforcement of the legislation sex traficking is prevalent in Japan today, "soap land" being a prime example. Japan treated its own women this way, you want us to believe that didn't force (or treated worse) the women of their enemies? You are so deluded you want us to believe these women did this out of their "free will" and were employees of the military? Despite the fact many of them were children???
I'm astounded by the extent to which you are willing to defend imperial Japan even though there is no point of contention on the issue of comfort women. It's been well-documented that many women were forced into doing sexual services but that there were also so-called "contracts" between Koreans and Japanese as you say, even though the truth of the issue is much more complex than you make it out to be. In all of your comments, you paint a picture that Japan is innocent (and even a victim) and that Korea is the main perpetrator. How dare label the victims as liars. Let me also ask you this; do you really think that the imperial Japanese army which committed the great massacre and rape of Nanjing is concerned with conventionalities and "contracts" relating to comfort women? To me, it seems almost vain to defend something so moot as this in the wake of the countless atrocities that Japan has committed during their expansive campaign across Asia as the so-called "master race of Asia." Why are you shilling so hard for them? The corpses of your ancestors won't be impressed.
@@hanshasntshoweredsince8590 As you said, in Koreahas it been well-documented that many women were forced into doing sexual services? By who? By Yoon Mee Hyang of your Korean Council?

Their testimony was distorted for political use by a group of civil activists with ties to North Korea, and they admit to being instructed by that group to lie. The group's famous leader, Yoon Mee Hyang, admited that one famous former comfort woman who worked with them was not a comfort woman for the Imperial Japanese Army.

So right. Every race have their own nightmare. Man can be horrible with no feelings.
You demand apologies. They argue that members of the Women’s Volunteer Labor Corps were forced to become military prostitutes, which is total nonsense. Why do Koreans continue to indulge in such shameless behavior?
The claim that members of the Women’s Volunteer Labor Corps were military prostitutes is worse than misguided; it is an outright lie. The two have absolutely no connection with each other.
Who supervised this video? If you are truly Japanese, you should know that The Korean Council's claims are incorrect.
In accordance with the National Labor Mobilization Order issued in 1941, all unmarried women between the ages of 14 and 25 were required to serve their country by working in a factory or other production facility for a total of 30 days per year. August 1944, with the issuance of the Women’s Volunteer Labor Ordinance, industrial service became mandatory for women. The ordinance applied to Korean women as well, but unlike in Japan proper, it elicited little response, but the Government-General did not want to force the issue by making women’s labor mandatory. But most of the volunteer work took place in nearby factories. It was very rare to assign Korean women to factories in Japan proper. And the corps never had any connection with military prostitutes, who worked in overseas war zones.
An Byeong-jik, a former Seoul University professor, supervised a research report based on interviews with former military prostitutes (Testimonies, Part I: Korean Women Forced To Serve as Military Prostitutes). According to that report, of 19 somewhat reliable testimonies, only two of the women said that they were compelled to join the Women’s Volunteer Labor Corps and taken to Busan, in one case, and Toyama, in the other. Both allegations are dubious and, in any case, neither Busan nor Toyama was a battle zone. Former comfort women’s statements are likely to be unreliable, or even contrived.
But it was not Koreans, but left-wing Japanese human rights activists who launched a “comfort women campaign” founded on lies. Don't you think that Japanese people like this should be ashamed? They are fighting to assert their communist ideology.
Those who brandish the human rights banner in this particular case are committing unconscionable, international fraud.
@@azurecliff8709so sad you never learned this is history
I believe that the international community should stand up against the atrocities committed by Japan during World War II. Japan has never fully apologised for their actions and it's time for them to take responsibility. Every Japanese embassy around the world should erect a memorial statue to honor the victims and remind Japan of their past. It's time for Japan to acknowledge their role in history and make amends for their crimes.
They will never will, they have no shame, they will forever honor their past crime.
It's just that people who want to keep doing bad business say so. Now it's time for Japan to get the money back from such scammers.
Comfort women was legal and acceptable at that time and USA had ‘comfort institutions’ during occupation of Japan

Why does this dispute seem to go away?
It's easy to know the answer since your Yoon Mee Hyang has already made this answer simple.
The problem is that under the Moon administration, the elderly women who accepted Japan's apology and compensation are not covered by the media and are forgotten. Most of the Korean media have only published information on support groups and some left-wing scholars without thinking for themselves. As a result, incorrect information was reported to the West.
Korean citizens? In other words, they have been completely brainwashed by such a regime and media, and have practiced literal anti-Japanese tribalism instead of showing interest in the truth.
There has been some influence from left-wing activists and feminist groups in Japan, but they are out of the question as they are only using the comfort women myth for their own gain. What matters to them is ideology, and they don't care about the truth about comfort women.
Under the current administration, excellent scholars have come to assert the truth more freely, numerous Facts have been published along with valuable primary sources, and it's now possible anyone can freely touch the once-sealed truth. But I'm still amazed that there are people like you.

So this film is about the Japanese war crime against enslaved woman. You are dismissing this film by saying "history is just history" what the hell does a dumb statement like that mean? Other Countries' war atrocities can be addressed in other films. Can you not focus on the horror of what the Japanese men in the military were capable of & the heartbreaking experience of these woman in the comment section of this film. The fact that other countries have committed atrocities does not negate what this film is dealing with. Don't dismiss the film by making comparisons, that is totally irrelevant.

This is horrifying!

This is so horrible....what is wrong with men.
Throughout the history men were taught that women are here to serve to any purpose men can assign to them. Birthing babies, servitude, sexual pleasure, a piece of property that can make money. It also used to be ok to treat us any way they felt like or in other words use any kind of violence. We became victims of war because again we were no more than objects that when damaged our owner would be the one hurt. WW2 was when we started to really fight for a change. Rape isn't about sex, again it's about violence, inflicting torture and enjoying suffering. I guess that the "poor" Japanese soldiers needed to take a rest after a day of committing atrocities and they did that by inflicting suffering on women. One hell of a twisted mentality.
You’re right that this is a human atrocity but at the same time you shouldn’t just blame men. It was the men of the Japanese imperial army.

If we were all really initially designed by someone, why would women had to be born so weak, defenseless and so emotionally vulnerable?! Why, for god’s sake, these women and many many others had to and still have to suffer so much? All these make me lose faith in humanity and justice one by one..

Geez, that's insane.
Similar treatment of "willing" Japanese women IN JAPAN by US troops during the American post-war occupation...
Firstly, I really hate when a certain type of cruelty and crimes are described and somebody comes with "what about ...". It's like totally denying somebody's suffering with your own agenda. Second, sources please.
@@zoolucinka , I wasn't diminishing the horror of "comfort women", but extending its range to ALL who utilized military advantage (BOTH during wartime AND post-war occupations) to continue their demoralizing abuses against the weaker factions of society!
Check out the Japanese "Recreation and Amusement Association", established immediately post-war in Japan--ostensibly to PROTECT the civilian population of Japanese women from the predations of Allied occupational forces! Imagine that...
Similarly, in Germany and Italy; later, in Korea and Viet Nam! Look up "Post-war prostitution" in ANY of these cases to sensitize a PROPER offense toward it.
So, what's YOUR agenda? To TOTALLY absolve YOUR bad men (perhaps, YOURSELF?) of what you damn THEIR bad men for doing? YOUR "moralistic bridling" isn't tight enough to damn a practice WHEREVER ITS FOUND!
That is another topic for a film if there is evidence. Can you not address what happened in this film? What other countries have done or not done is irrelevant in this comment section, as you are looking for excuses that are totally irrelevant to the enslaved woman in this film

If the comfort women were sex slaves , why did they keep doing the same thing after Japan withdrew ?
They were doing the same thing for Americans after then.
This Korean video is highly recommended.
How South Korea Enslaved Women for U.S. Troops for Years
idk the first one u mentioned were "forced" and the other one was because they wanted to
Women were even hard to get married after a terrible incident by the Japanese army and eventually had to do it again. Please remember that the Japanese soldiers were "forced" to do something terrible to little girls.
Most of the girl victims died alone, struggling all their lives without even informing them of their damage. Japanese atrocities will not be forgiven for any reason.
대부분의 소녀 피해자들은 자신들의 피해 사실조차 알리지 못한 채 평생을 허드렛일을 하며 홀로 생을 마감했습니다. 일본의 만행은 어떤 이유로도 용서받지 못할 것입니다.
@@Wearefriend2011 But according you Korean videos your comfort women were prostitutes.
@@Wearefriend2011 But according to Korean the reason why previous comfort women couldn't marry was Koreans discriminated against them.
Just like the empires were created by European powers and Japan in the past, the United States has military bases all over the world. And wherever the U.S. military bases are located, there are women who provide sex to the U.S. military personnels. There is no doubt that the U.S. military interventions in Vietnam, Iraq and so on had caused suffering to local people especially to women. It is rather ironic that the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution to criticize Japan and comfort women statues keep going up in the U.S. Japan was partly guilty because its imperialism (the Japanese military's invasion into China and Southeast Asia) created the demand for comfort women. But the Korean narrative -- the Japanese military showed up at the doors and abducted young Korean women -- just didn't happen. The Korean brothel operators capitalized on the demand, recruited Korean women, operated comfort stations and made lots of money. Japan has apologized for its part. South Korea should admit its complicity and stop demanding Japan for more apologies.
During WW2 Japanese went to other countries not to help but to invade, make sufferings and chaos. US helped those countries including my own country. My very own Province was successful way back then, the way of living is ok but when the Japanese came everyone chose to hide even those who belongs in a wealthy family. They chose to leave their mansions and because of that the Japanese used their homes as a prison one of the proof to that is the Lizares Mansion located in my very own Province which is Iloilo.
Partly guilty?!🤣 and how dare you change the topic? Drawing an analogy to the US is Whataboutism. No one brought up the US except for you. It's about Japanese War crimes. The fascist regime of Japan didn't recruit them in to prostitution rather kidnapped them by force. There is historical proof for that and you're too ignorant to understand that. And no Japan didn't apologize for the usage of comfort women. It were the former soldiers at best. If Japan did apolologize, they would recognise that act as a war crime which they don't do to this very day. You're a disgraceful conspiracy theorist who spits on those victims
@@succ6102 Is there any evidence that the Imperial Japanese Army forcibly took 200,000 women? This will never come to light no matter how long you search for it. Because it's a made up story.
The debate over comfort women is not one between historians putting fact before theory, but, instead, an ideological and political battle in which theory can blind debaters to evidence and proof.
But above all it is important to be true. We learn nothing from a made-up story. A lie is just a lie.
It wasn't just neighboring South Korea and China carrying out anti-Japanese propaganda. Countries around the world have a negative image of Japan's historical conscience issues, and most of them have been brainwashed by biased media coverage and videos of sad old women's stories, posted harsh comments as if Japan was kind of a bad country.
Professor Ahn Byong Jik from the University of Seoul said: "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military.
ua-cam.com/video/lp42P_DHQEE/v-deo.html
They hated their parents who sold them, and the Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Chong Dae Hyup put them on his payroll, their testimonials changed completely."
Chong Dae Hyup is asking Japan to apologize for the myth of lies. And they will ask for compensation many times. They are very afraid that the business of comfort women using older women will end.
The old women who accuse the Japanese army of being criminals, crying in various videos are being used to earn money by countries and organizations. It was invented as an act of cruelty to the Japanese military for the compensation business.
Expressing sympathy for older women who have had a difficult life is fine. Paying money to an ally to rebuild a stable relationship is fine.
But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically false.
My conclusion is that the comfort women issue is pure political propaganda, disguised as issues of women's human rights. Claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically false.
Under the previous leftist government, due to the glorification of comfort women, the government controlled the press and severely suppressed the freedom of expression of academics. For this reason the truth on the subject was not disseminated to the world.
Statements that are not based on the truth have seriously damaged the honor of the Japanese. I cannot allow the fact that Japanese children have a distorted sense of guilt and are carried away by defeat.
The biggest problem is that the distorted story is used by the anti-Japanese movement in neighboring countries and is used as a shield for the issue of women's human rights. They have deceived the world for their own benefit.
Here, you should learn your own hisotry.
Koreans claim that Japan deprived Korea of seven vital things and list the seven deprivations as follows: 1. king, 2. sovereignty, 3. human life, 4. land, 5. resources, 6. national language, and 7. personal name. In exchange for "seven deprivations", Japan granted "seven benefits".
In particular, with the help of successful agricultural reform, during the 36-year rule of the "Japanese Empire", the population remarkably increased from 10 million to 24 million.
Furthermore, the average life expectancy of the Korean population has increased dramatically from 24 years to 45 years.
Take the case of the British Empire, where the population of Ireland plummeted by a third after it joined England. In stark contrast, Korea experienced a 2.4-fold statistical increase.
If Imperial Japan had exploited Korea, sending people to the miserable depths of poverty or even committing massacres, as Koreans often claim, how, then, could they explain these dramatic population increases? Left scholars ignore these data.
In Korea, women had no social status and had never been listed by name on family trees.
When Korea became a modern state by annexation with Japan, on the basis that all people were equal, they were allowed to have last names. Women also came to have names.
Oh just wow. Have you just weakly tried to gaslight by shifting blame to others? So let's talk openly, Japan keeps denying the many atrocities committed by them during WW2, that's hardly an apology. I assume you also want Jews to apologize for Holocaust.
@@zoolucinka The essential problem of comfort women issues was poverty. Mostly, poor parents pushed their daughters to work as comfort women in exchange for a few advances, or otherwise, the daughters sacrificed themselves for their families. Therefore, the truth is that there was no compulsory mobilization by the Japanese military. The Comfort Woman Statue is only a symbol of lies and hatred to distort the reality of comfort women, foment conflicts and confrontations, and instill hostility toward Japan in Korean people.
In your Clause 1 of Article 2 of the “Act on Livelihood Stability and Memorial Services, etc. for Sexual Slavery Victims for the Japanese Imperial Army,” the Japanese military sexual slavery victims are defined as “those who were forcibly mobilized by the Japanese Imperial Army, sexually abused, and obliged to live as comfort women.” At that time, however, Korean women were not subject to mobilization by a public authority or the official duty of Imperial Japan. There were no such cases, either. This was because comfort women were “working-women” who made contracts with managers of comfort stations and received predetermined wages to offer sexual service.
I demand you that identify the women who were officially mobilized by a public duty of Imperial Japan if any among 240 livelihood-stability registrants in the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.
We can say definitely that the Korean Council’s 30-year comfort women movement is an international fraud drama that has deceived the South Koreans as well as the world by putting a poor elder at the forefront.
Remember many of the allies that helped liberate were MEN.
Not thugs ❤
What?
In the same profession of that paranoid story, there is a sequel in just a few years later. The memoir of truth from the returned soldiers. ua-cam.com/video/R3mfU3yNvYc/v-deo.html At the time of the Korean War after pure Japanese left, backward Netherlands Army removed the fact that Korea unscrupulous traders who had approached the soldiers had exploited the money of prostitutes while grinning. But the unscrupulous dealers were too much, so they kept on remaining. If it was a painful experience, why didn't they have no record of telling the UN forces in 22 countries to "Help me from brothels for 10 years."? NOT EVEN ONE. ua-cam.com/video/N8NUFYuagE0/v-deo.html Evidence of testimony against many Koreans at the hearings of U.S. soldiers.
Its a real story
But prostitution and military prostitution have been practiced all over the world since ancient times. Singling out the Japanese military as a horrible example would be nothing less than discriminatory.
S.Korean media rarely discusses the well-documented finding that post-1945 South Korean governments also encouraged and supervised brothels for American soldiers or the allegation that South Korean troops patronized local women in Vietnam.
If you truly care about women's rights, as you claim to, you should focus not on the past, but on the present, since prostitution exists all over the world, as does military prostitution.
Furthermore, if their protest is against women whose rights were violated because they suffered in a battle zone, they should not limit their attention to the comfort women. People of any occupation may be subject to unfair treatment, and may suffer in many ways in a battle zone.
Japan acknowledged that women from combatant countries, such as China and Indonesia, were illegally abducted by some soldiers and units. But such war criminals were severely punished by military tribunals.
Also Japan has never denied that its military used comfort stations where Korean comfort women worked. In particular, Western emotional complaints have misunderstood this part.
Whether it was coercive or not, Japan has apologized repeatedly for wartime suffering as the following video reporting.
ua-cam.com/video/lp42P_DHQEE/v-deo.html
When Japan apologized for what it did during the war, its sincerity was backed by 78 odd years of good behavior. Nevertheless, should the Japanese generation, who had no experience of war, be attacked because of the war that happened more than 78 years ago?
Even now that the full extent of the "comfort women issue" has been revealed, some people still make emotional remarks, but in reality,
most scholars have already concluded, except left-wing scholars who prioritize their ideology over the true history, that it is a myth written up for their own benefit only by money-hungry lawyers and a greedy activist group. Such greedy people have no interest in the welfare of former comfort women. This has already been proven in recent trials involving them. The following video is reporting who they are,
ua-cam.com/video/5G7wTbs0SK8/v-deo.html
The problem is that S.Korea is obstructing the resolution of the issue by forces that do not want this controversy to end for their own interests. Don't you notice that such activist or organization is stirring up anti-Japan here as well?
At battlefields in China and Southeast Asia, did you know that most comfort stations of the Imperial Japanese Army were managed and operated by Koreans?
The Imperial Japanese Army strictly controlled the health care of comfort women in order to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, but they were not involved in the business of comfort stations. Western women still mistakenly believe that the Imperial Japanese Army was involved in everything, so their anger has been directed to Japan.
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.
Korean women were not allowed to leave until their debts were paid off.Any coercion, violence or confinement was exercised by the Korean owners. 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 sex slaves. Soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army were nothing more than guests who used the comfort stations during the short-lived battle.
In addition, there were many privately run brothels run by Koreans on the Korean Peninsula at the time. These places are dens of violence and human trafficking, and Ju Ik-jong, an expert on the issue in South Korea and author of the best-selling Korean book Anti-Japan Tribalism, says that traditional Korean barmaids and prostitutes are rather "sex slaves" since they had no physical freedom. The women who were trafficked were unable to repay their debts because their owners charged exorbitant interest on their debts, and their physical freedom was severely restricted.
I wonder why S.Korean activists and lawyers have no interest in their traditional "sex slaves", but they continue to demand apology and compensation only from Japan. One cannot help but conclude that there is a hidden, ulterior motive to their demanding reparations and apologies from Japan on the basis of groundless accusations.
Delusional.
Time for your meds
Japan's colonial rule over Korea, which lasted from 1910 to 1945, was marked by a series of horrifying atrocities and human rights abuses. While it's important to recognize that not all Japanese individuals or institutions were responsible for these actions, the Japanese government and military engaged in a number of brutal acts during this period. Some of the most well-documented atrocities include:
1. **Forced Labor**: Japan forcibly conscripted hundreds of thousands of Koreans for labor in various industries, including mining, construction, and manufacturing. Conditions were often deplorable, and many workers died from overwork, malnutrition, and disease.
2. **Comfort Women**: The Japanese military set up a system of "comfort stations" where thousands of Korean women were forced into sexual slavery. These women endured extreme physical and psychological abuse, and many did not survive the ordeal.
3. **Forced Experiments**: Japanese scientists conducted gruesome experiments on Korean prisoners, including vivisections and biological warfare tests. These experiments resulted in the deaths of many innocent people.
4. **Massacres**: During Japan's occupation of Korea, there were several incidents of mass killings and massacres of Korean civilians. One notable example is the Gwangju Uprising in 1929, where Japanese police and military forces brutally suppressed a pro-independence demonstration, resulting in hundreds of deaths.
5. **Cultural Suppression**: The Japanese government attempted to erase Korean culture and identity. They banned the use of the Korean language, forced Koreans to adopt Japanese names, and destroyed cultural artifacts and historical records.
6. **Forced Sterilization**: The Japanese government implemented a policy of forced sterilization of Koreans with disabilities or mental illnesses, in an attempt to eliminate what they considered "undesirable" traits from the population.
7. **Forced Relocations and Displacement**: Japanese authorities forcibly relocated Koreans, often confiscating their land and property in the process. This led to widespread poverty and displacement among the Korean population.
8. **Biological Warfare**: There are allegations that Japan conducted biological warfare experiments on Korean prisoners, which included the use of deadly diseases as weapons.

As of March 2023, it is clear that the Korean Council’s comfort women movement must be discontinued right now because so-called ‘Japanese military sexual slavery victims’ do not exist, who are the reason for the existence ofsuch movement. Additionally, they emphasized that Clause 1 of Article 2 of the “Act on Livelihood Stability and Memorial Services, etc. for Sexual Slavery Victims for the Japanese Imperial Army” defined the victims as “those who were forcibly mobilized by Imperial Japan, sexually abused, and obliged to live as comfort women,” but the Korean women at the time were not subject to mobilization by a public authority of Imperial Japan and there were no such cases, either.
The essential problem of the comfort women issues was poverty. Mostly, poor parents pushed their daughters to work as comfort women in exchange for a few advances, or otherwise, the daughters sacrificed themselves for their families. Therefore, the truth is that there was no forced mobilization by the Japanese military, and I criticize that the Comfort Woman Statue was nothing but a symbol of lies and hatred to distort the reality of comfort women, foment conflicts and confrontations, and instill hostility toward Japan. Sure, the creators of such propaganda videos should apologize to Japan. And the Korean Council should reveal the truth to the major Western media that used the Korean Council as a source of information.
If they refuse it, I demand the Korean Council identify the women who were officially mobilized by a public duty of Imperial Japan if any among 240 livelihood-protection registrants in the Korean Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.
Japanese were selling their own children/women in forced prostitution for centuries until recently and it was prevalent your own government had to pass a bill to stop it! Yet even today due to loop holes and lack of enforcement of the legislation sex traficking is prevalent in Japan today, "soap land" being a prime example.
Japan treated its own women this way, you want us to believe that didn't force (or treated worse) the women of their enemies? You are so deluded you want us to believe these women did this out of their "free will" and were employees of the military? Despite the fact many of them were children???
I'm astounded by the extent to which you are willing to defend imperial Japan even though there is no point of contention on the issue of comfort women. It's been well-documented that many women were forced into doing sexual services but that there were also so-called "contracts" between Koreans and Japanese as you say, even though the truth of the issue is much more complex than you make it out to be. In all of your comments, you paint a picture that Japan is innocent (and even a victim) and that Korea is the main perpetrator. How dare label the victims as liars.
Let me also ask you this; do you really think that the imperial Japanese army which committed the great massacre and rape of Nanjing is concerned with conventionalities and "contracts" relating to comfort women? To me, it seems almost vain to defend something so moot as this in the wake of the countless atrocities that Japan has committed during their expansive campaign across Asia as the so-called "master race of Asia." Why are you shilling so hard for them? The corpses of your ancestors won't be impressed.
