Museum replicates coal mine of S. Korea's forced laborers

The photo, released on Nov. 24, 2015 by a soon-to-open local museum, shows a replicated coal mine on exhibit that was worked by South Koreans mobilized for labor by Japan during the colonial years. The museum, hosted by the southeastern port city of Busan, is South Korea’s first that chronicles the forced laborers. It will open on Dec. 10 to coincide with the World Human Rights Day. (Yonhap)
