(Part5)The NY Times on Jan. 8, 2009 said Korean prostitutes put U.S military and Korean government on trial. They complained about having been forced sex with Americans in Korea. They worked as comfort women from 1960 to 1980 in Korea. Moreover, an LAPD official said some 70-80 prostitutes were arrested every month, and 90 percent of them were Korean. Were they forced to be sexual slaveries by the Japanese military? Was the story true?

@undertakerRach thank you for that essay. however your shotty grammar and poorly supported 'facts' do little to persuade anyone. you have the right to speak your opinion and i have the right to say your full of it.

I can't believe my eyes! Why do they perform the evil drama? Do they want to believe they are good charitable persons? I'm afraid to say actors and actresses are decieved by Korean prostitutes. How poor you are!

@gwenhie1 It would seem to be in the best interest of Japan to cover up an event like this. Conversely, it seems strange to accuse these "prostitutes" of lying about their lively hood if it was indeed a legitimate practice they were partaking in. Anyone can write their own history, which is probably why yours is different than the majority.

If those Korean girls were taken away, what were Korean guys doing ? Just sitting and watching that their daughters taken away ? How brave Koreans are !

(Part4)In other words, Korean ladies decided to get the job. In fact, they got a lot of money. Also, they amused themselves by participating in sports events with both officers and men, and attended picnics, entertainments, and social dinners. They had a phonograph and in the towns they were allowed to go shopping. The Ladies were allowed the prerogative of refusing a customer.

(Part3)According to the Japanese Prisoner of War Interrogation Report No. 49, which was reported by U.S in Aug 20 to Sept 10, 1944, 20 of Korean ladies were working as comfort women in Japanese camp during WW2. The "house master" that means manager of the comfort house, received 50 to 60% of the girls' gross earnings depending on how much of a debt each girl had incurred when she signed her contract.

(Part2)What was happened actually? Many brothel owners opened their business next to military gates. It was a natural because they could make more money. This is quite natural. Therefore Japanese military did not open these brothels during the war, but brothels owners who were local people in the countries which Japanese troops were dispatched. Were they hurt by the Japanese? We can’t find any evidence of that except ladies verbal statements.

(Part1)Japan is criticized over the so called comfort women problem which was happened in the war. How comfort women problem differ from these prostitutes? Attackers against Japan over the comfort women problem said that they, prostitutes for Japanese military, were forced into prostitution as a form of sexual slavery by the Japanese military organization. Was it true? In fact Japanese military had not forced these women.
