Fraud Plagued Comfort Women Home in Seoul to Be Closed

It appears the Korean left will deal with the comfort women scandal by attempting to erase any memory of it instead of holding those accountable for allowing the fraud to happen:

A shelter for surviving victims of Japan’s wartime sexual slavery is set to be closed after the last resident recently left the facility, the operator said Saturday.

Gil Won-ok, 92, left the shelter June 11 to stay at a church operated by her 61-year-old stepson, priest Hwang Sun-hee, according to the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance (Korea Council), the nongovernmental organization working for South Korea’s “comfort women,” that is currently mired in an alleged embezzlement scandal

The Korea Council said it has yet to decide when to close the shelter in Mapo District, western Seoul, and return it to the Myungsung Church, which owns the property.

The planned shutdown comes as the head of the shelter was found dead at her apartment in Paju, north of Seoul, early last month.

Greedy corrupt South Koreans failed these women. Now that they are about gone those that profited will not be held accountable. JPN bashing over this will begin again in less than 6 months
