For the first time since the agreement between Japan and Korean concerning sex slaves, commonly referred to as 'comfort women,' the victims themselves flew over to Japan to demand an apology from Shinzo Abe. 

90-year-old Lee Ok Sun and 89-year-old Kang Il Chul have landed on Japanese soil to protest Japan's war crimes and testify to their sufferings as sex slaves during the war. From January 25 to February 1, the two women will taking part in various activities in Tokyo and Osaka to get what they have been demanding since the war ended: an apology. 

These 'comfort women' had no other choice to take matters into their own hands to seek rightful retribution for all the wrongs they endured. The women were left with no other recourse when the government had failed to heed their voices during the Japanese-Korean negotiations. 

Lee stated when she landed at Haneda Airport, "The Japanese government should kneel and beg us for forgiveness but nothing of that sort happened. That's why the negotiations were all botched." When a reporter asked her who should beg for forgiveness, Lee answered, "Shinzo Abe must apologize. If the one who is responsible in Japan reflected on their sins, then we could be generous, too, but because things were handled so poorly, we're the ones who are left feeling rotten."

Kang added, "We are alive so isn't it our duty to make sure something like this never occurs again? We may have suffered but the future generations must not. Korea must not suffer." 

Kang and Lee will hold a press conference at the House of Representatives in Tokyo at 10 AM on January 26; at 2 PM on the same day, they will declare the invalidity of the Japan-Korea negotiations and testify to their horrors they experienced during the war. The two will further testify at other select locations throughout Tokyo and Osaka.
