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.

Korea should explain and apologize to Japan about the laser irradiation in 2018.

日韓請求権協定を受けて日本政府は当時、間違えてなければ無償3億ドル有償2億ドルの計5億ドルを韓国政府に提供した!韓国政府はこの巨額資金と日本の技術やノウハウをもとに漢江の奇跡?いわいる元徴用工・応募工に資金が渡らなかったのは一方的に韓国政府の問題!日本はもう資金を出す必要なし!

When we consider the dates of the years of Japanese occupation compared to when Korea became divided into North and South why are the victims in the North being left out?

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 🇰🇷🇯🇵.
