As you can see from this title, in South Korea, "comfort women were forcibly and abducted by Japan, and the Japanese government in the 1990s had already acknowledged their responsibility. Japan has now justified it, and the conservative government until now has Ignoring the intentions of the 'comfort women victims', making a false agreement by coercion between Japan and the United States."
This book is an academic counter-argument to it. The author, Kim Byung-hong, is a 62-year-old scholar. He is a "behavioral scholar" who has fought a revision struggle against textbooks that teach Korean students the view of history that has become common in Korea.
The Korean "Comfort Women Victims Law" defines comfort women as "victims who were forcibly mobilized by the Empire of Japan (Japanese Empire) and were sexually abused and forced to live as comfort women." However, the author emphasizes that the initial testimony of the comfort women claiming the damage does not include what is referred to as "forced mobilization."
Kim Hak-sun who testified for the first time that she was a comfort woman, was the main character of the so-called "No. 1 testimony". August 14th, when Kim Hak-sun gave this testimony for the first time, is now commemorated as "the day to honor the comfort women" in South Korea.
The author of "Red Wednesday" pays attention to its early testimony. Kim Hak-sun testified, "My mother remarried at the age of 14, and at the age of 15, she was sold as a contract for several years to her 'adoptive father' who was raised Kisaeng, for 40 won."
40 won was an "advance payment", which is a "advance payment" and a debt to receive compensation for labor for a certain period of time. "I finished my Kisaeng class and tried to get permission for domestic business, but I couldn't do what I expected and persuaded me that my adoptive father would make a profit if I went to China. After that, I contacted my mother and got permission. On the day I departed to China, my mother bought a yellow sweater and came to Pyongyang station to see me off."
It is the testimony recorded in the testimony record of the "Korean Council for Justice Countermeasures". This "Korean Council for Justice" was later reorganized and renamed to "Justice Memory Solidarity for Solving the Korean Council for Justice", which is famous for the suspicion of Mr. Yoon Mee-Hyan.
Kim Hak-sun also testified that she had worked as a comfort woman in China for three months and eloped with a Korean merchant. In other words, it is analyzed that there was no abduction or confinement by the Japanese army and it was not compulsory. This contradiction has been pointed out in Japan for some time, but since it was tabooed in South Korea, it is significant that the book cast on the "common knowledge about comfort women" in South Korea.
After the initial testimony, the book also denied the "Beijing abduction theory" claimed by the "Justice Ren". Military personnel can't trade women, but how can we trust Kim Hak-sun's later testimony that military officers didn't pay and robbed women and forced them into comfort stations in their troops?, The book insists.
The author also asks whether the comfort station that Kim Hak-sun claimed to have worked was really a Japanese military comfort station. According to Kim Hak-sun's testimony, "In the evening, when military personnel came, I often drank alcohol and they said, 'Sing and dance', which bothered people." The author criticizes that it does not meet the regulations of the Japanese military comfort station that prohibited drinking.
Well, the fact that the author perceives the comfort women as a "contract act" is similar to Professor Ramseyer's treatise at Harvard University.
Through such various analyzes, the author should not admit that Kim Hak-sun is a "comfort women victim", and the "Comfort Women Honor Day" established by Kim Hak-sun is also "a day to honor comfort women." Of course, it is invalid."
In addition, Lee Yong-soo, a “representative of comfort women” who was also facing former US President Trump, has recorded numerous withdrawals and amendments to his testimony and the author's legal struggle against it.
The author responded to the lack of evidence against the theory that the Japanese government and the Japanese military were involved at that time, and the mistake in the proceedings of the "Comfort Women Victims Damages Proceedings" in January and April 2021.
For a long time, this "comfort women's common sense" has been the basis for "moral superiority complex over Japan." The story begins in 1910 when Japan and Korea merged. "There is no reason for the Korean Empire, the end of the Korean royal family, to entrust Japan with control of the peninsula."
"Moreover, in Japan, which is lower than the peninsula in the (small Chinese) hierarchy of the Confucian worldview?" The conclusion is that "the contract for the annexation of Korea and Japan concluded due to the illegal threat of Japan is invalid, and all subsequent acts of Japanese rule are illegal."
With this, "After that, Japan colonized Korea (Korean Empire) and started an aggression war by'capturing and exploiting', and took more than 200,000 pure peninsula teenage girls to the battlefield as comfort women. The story of "Ta" is completed.
In the case of "romantic nationalists" or "subordinate forces disguised as nationalists," the story doesn't stop here. The story continues, such as "The Soviet Union and the United States divided the North and South and the Korean War broke out. The United States and Japan, which are wary of national unity on the peninsula, promoted the North-South confrontation." Naturally, there is no choice but to make the logic that "the US military will withdraw after making a'declaration of the end of the war'to end the Korean War in a truce in a hurry."
The decisive existence that symbolically connects the Japanese colonial era and the subsequent "passion of the people" is the "comfort women," and the symbol is the "girl of peace" looking at the Japanese embassy in Seoul. is. And the runaway "anti-Japanese" has led Japan-South Korea relations to the worst. Does Hot Topic's book "Red Wednesday" overturn Korea's "comfort women's common sense"?
