News N. Korean website hosts S. Korean song to highlight comfort women issueTwo Koreas share same perspective on issue of comfort women and Liancourt rocks
In a rare moment of consensus with its southern neighbor, a North Korea-endorsed website on Thursday posted a South Korean song protesting Japan’s interpretation of the history of Korean women forced to work as sex slaves during World War II. The video upload comes after days of back-to-back days of state media coverage of the issue of comfort women. Uriminzokkiri, which is a China-based website directly supported by North Korea, posted “A Song of Comfort Women Memorial Statue” on its website – notably without taking steps to cover up the video’s southern origins. In particular, the video is unique for © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
