UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday welcomed the agreement reached between the governments of Japan and the Republic of Korea on Japan’s wartime sex slavery of Korean women.
While Korean activists estimate that more than 200,000 Korean women were forced to work in Japan’s brothels, only 46 of the 238 women who came forward in South Korea remain alive.
Japanese government sources said they are well aware that South Korean government officials have much work ahead of them.
Lee Yong-su, an 88-year-old former comfort woman, said she would “ignore it all”.
Though some comfort women said they were agreeable with the deal, some people in Korea find Japan’s moves inadequate. “The far-Right in Japan is going to go bananas, most likely, whereas South Korea’s liberals are likely to call for president Park to resign”, he said.
On the other hand, South Korean President Park Geun Hye agreed to the deal in order to finally settle the sex slave issue that has long plagued the country, especially the women. Park, who had refused to hold a summit meeting with Abe until last month, had repeatedly urged Japan to address the grievances of comfort women before relations could improve.
However, South Korea and critics of the treaty argue that none of that money went directly to the women but instead only went to the newly established South Korean government.
However it is hoped the accord will reverse the decades of distrust between the nations.
Japan has long maintained that the dispute was settled in a 1965 agreement which saw Tokyo establish diplomatic ties and make a payment of $800 million to Korea.

Meanwhile, North Korea, which said some of its citizens were also sex slaves, described the agreement as a big humiliation for South Korea.
