South Korean WWII Comport Women Protest

October 28, 2015 - South Korea, Seoul : A South Korean student holds a sign during a rally demanding full compensation and apology for wartime sex slaves from Japanese government near the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2015. Only days before leaders from South Korea, Japan and China are to gather in Seoul this weekend, the event has still not yet been formally settled, with the South Korean and Japanese foreign ministries publicly dodging questions even as diplomats leak barbed tidbits to reporters behind the scenes. The problem this week, as is often the case in Northeast Asia, appears to be history, and specifically the inability of Seoul and Tokyo to settle disputes stemming from Japan’s brutal colonial rule of Korea in the early 20th century.
