On Aug. 22, two sentences were handed down in appeal lawsuits at a court in S. Korea (* the Seoul Central District Court), which were filed by bereaved families of former conscripted workes in S. Korea seeking compensation against Nippon Steel Corp. They upturned the 1st trial senteces, which dismissed the complaints due to statute of limitations, and ordered Nippon Steel Corp. to pay compensation.
It seems that, in respnse to the ruling handed down by the Supreme Court of Korea related with statute of limitations at the end of last year, Nippon Steel lost reversally.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the compensation amount is totally 180 million won (approx. \20 million) in two lawsuits.
Both plaintiffs filed lawsuits in 2019.
At the end of last year, the Supreme Court of Korea pointed out that, due to the Supreme Court of Korea ruling in October 2018, it for the 1st time became certain that the victims could be rescued by judiciary in S. Korea.
It seems that the appeal courts sentences judged that statute of limitations wasn't applied as they were filed within the certain period after October 2018.
