Korean sex slaves? Not this time!
Horrible atrocities were committed during WWII that form the basis of continual Korean hatred of Japanese people and products. Korean women were either given ‘jobs’, kidnapped or trafficked to work as “comfort women” for Japanese soldiers.
Whenever Koreans believe that the Japanese are getting comfortable and forgetting to apologize for forcing their women into sexual slavery, they lead an uproar and make sure the world remembers what the evil Japanese empire did. For all of you who don’t know much about the lives of Korean comfort women, you should check out this article, a personal story of one woman’s life as a Korean sex slave.
Since I studied East Asian Culture from a mainly Korean standpoint at university, I basically learnt how horrible the Japanese were… but, now that I work for the Japanese I now see how unforgiving and unreasonable the Korean people can be.
While Korea is having a hissy fit over the actions of the Japanese Empire over forty years ago, they are also developing a very successful sex trade abroad and at home. The difference? Well, one is paid and the other unpaid.
But, as I’ve said before: “All’s fair in love and war”.
Perhaps these people should address their problems at home before nagging the Japanese to continuously apologize for the war. Koreans are probably just jealous because, although Japan lost the war, Japan is a more prosperous nation than them. After all, Japan IS part of the G8.
