Seoul Court Orders Japan to Make Financial Reparation to Comfort Women
So much for the Korean government wanting to supposedly improve relations with the Japanese:
South Korean victims of wartime sexual enslavement won their first legal victory Friday against the Japanese government in a landmark ruling.
The Seoul Central District Court ordered Tokyo to make financial reparations of 100 million won (US$91,300) each to 12 “comfort women” who were dragged away from their homes and forced to work in front-line military brothels for Japanese soldiers during World War II.
“Evidence, relevant materials and testimonies show that the victims suffered from extreme, unimaginable mental and physical pain due to the illegal acts by the accused. But no compensation has been made for their suffering” the court said in a verdict.

You can read more at the link, but the Japanese government says they are ignoring this ruling because all the comfort women issues were resolved by the agreement they signed with the ROK government in 2015. The Moon administration scrapped the agreement when they came to power.
That court has no jurisdiction over other countries. And all this will do is force more South Koreans out of work. And a payment had already been negotiated between Japan and South Korea, paid, and spent.
Well done, President Moon and Friends! You’ve done more to destabilize South Korea’s once vibrant economy than anyone since Kim Il Sung!
🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
Good luck getting even a 100 yen from the Japanese. Commie Moon doing his best to sink the ROK’s economy and reputation as low as it can go.
41% of the voters doomed South Korea….
