I didn’t know that this guy kissed the Statue of Peace aka the Comfort Woman Statue in Korea for clicks. That’s pretty foul. That statue is dedicated to all of the women who were used as sex slaves by the Japanese in WW2. They have one in the DMZ. The tour guide told us how it depicts women who fought their whole lives for justice for what was done to them. It’s a striking piece of art.
Enjoy prison, you clown.
The video I was unfortunate enough to see showed him preforming a lap dance on the statue, utterly disgusting human being that man is.
You don’t really want to look up everything horrible he did. He belongs behind bars, at least for a while, if only so he can’t earn money doing horrible things.
And to compound what happened to them, they were shunned by society at the end of the war as if they were spoiled goods. It took 50 years or so for the public to understand the depth of what happened to them and to begin showing compassion. The statues exist in part to commemorate what happened to the women, and in part as a sign of remorse for how they were treated by their own communities afterwards.
I looked it up and it sits facing the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, a constant reminder to Japan about what they did.
Yes. The forcing of Korean captives into Japanese soldiers’ “comfort women” is a common sore point in geopolitics between both Koreas and Japan. Japan has refused to give a real apology, and occasionally South Korea and Japan have visible clashes over the topic.
