The proposal was welcomed in Tokyo but faced immediate backlash from some victims and South Korea's main opposition party, who accused the South Korean government of capitulating to Japan.

Asked whether Japanese companies would pitch in to compensate, Mr Park said both Japanese and South Korean businesses were considering a plan to make voluntary payments.

Two of the companies ordered by South Korean courts to make restitution, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Nippon Steel, declined to comment on the agreement. South Korean tech firms such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and LG Display were affected, although the firms found import routes through other countries, worked to diversify sourcing, including investing in local materials firms, and some Japanese firms set up production in South Korea.

A lot of Australians suffered a lot more than being subjected to forced labour in WWII due to Japanese Imperialism.

Nothing short of capitulation to the revisionists whose only regret about WW2 was losing it.

I don't know the backstory to this, and it doesn't seem fair, but, what I do like is closer relations between S Korea and Japan. They are two wonderful countries with a tragic past that shouldn't have happened. But they should be friends now 🇰🇷🇯🇵.
