Last year, Nippon Steel and Sumikin,
former chairman of the current Nippon Steel Corp.,
who was sentenced to compensate for workers during the Korean War
by the Korea Grand Court (the Supreme Court),
former Chairman of the current Japan Steel Corp. Shoji Sadaoka
It is a country that changes the rules defined in the dimension of
According to Kyodo News,
Mr. Muneoka met Japanese reporters on the 31st and said in a statement,
“Every company in Japan has made a foray into Korea .
There has been a considerable downturn in the sentiments
of the two peoples (due to the recent deterioration of Korea-Japan relations).
You should settle quickly. "
It was said that.
It is the first time a Japanese steelmaker has publicly criticized Korea
in connection with the ruling of the Korea Grand Court.
Mr. Muneoka served as the chairman of Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal
when the final ruling of the Korean Grand Court came in October last year,
but he has commanded that the decision is "No correspondence."
Mr. Muneoka resigned as chairman of Nippon Steel & Sumikin in April this year,
and currently serves as a consultant for Nippon Steel.
Korean wartime workers
The "forced mobilization by Japan"
theory that is repeatedly distributed in Korea

A Korean history textbook that cites photographs of Japanese workers
and explains that there is Fake "forced mobilization by Japan".
The diplomacy between Japan and South Korea is in danger over
the issue of workers during the Korean War.
The Japanese side
requested the establishment of an arbitration committee
based on the Japan-Korea claim agreement ( 1965 )
to solve the situation before the G20 Summit held in June ,
but the Korean side did not respond .
Why is Korea doing so hard?
A Korean non-fiction writer, CheSYoung,
who has a recent book titled “The Pathology of Korea“ Anti-Japanese Fake ””,
influenced the “ image of forced mobilization ”
established in Korean society regardless
of the examination of historical facts. Point out.
* * *
In a trial in which Korean workers who worked for Japanese companies
in the inland during the Japanese rule sought payment of “comfort fees,”
the Korea Grand Court (superior court) was employed during
the wartime period by the defendant Nippon Steel Sumikin
He ordered compensation of 100 million won
(approximately 9.11 million yen, approximately $ 840,000 )
per person for Koreans and their bereaved families ( October 30 , 2018 ).
The Grand Court insists on the " reason "
that pushes the Korean people's sentiment to the full .
This ruling does not require payment for unpaid wages
and compensation money stipulated under the 1965 Japan-Korea Basic Treaty,
It is a "comfort fee" for "anti-human torts of Japanese companies
that have occurred in the course of the war, which is directly linked
to illegal Korean annexation."
In other words, it is premised on Korean common sense
that the Japan- Korea annexation in 1910 is " illegal ".
Reading the verdict makes me feel strongly uncomfortable:
One is incorrect term usage .
The plaintiffs did not move to the inland (Japan) by requisition,
Before requisition all in Korea,
People who worked inland in response to taking applications.
Nevertheless, in the sentence the word "forced requisition"
appears six times and the word "forced mobilization"
appears more than 70 times.
Many also appear in the section that asserts
"forced mobilization carried out in the form of recruitment
or commission like plaintiffs" and plaintiffs
as forced mobilization victims and stating
the purpose of the judgment based on them.
However, it is still uncomfortable to regard as “ forced ”
up to the work activities
that went to the inland according to recruitment and commissioning .
the other one is,
The Great Court found all the plaintiff's
one-sided testimony to be a fact .
"The amount of food served was extremely low,"
"I was scolded from the dormitory dean of the dormitory,
and I received punishment."
"I took a kick when they used a sickness for someone who didn't go to work,"
"I was hit hard for about 7 days after having been found to escape,
and I was not given a meal."
The Grand Court assessed the plaintiffs' claims as "antihumanitary torts"
by quoting them as they were.
Were these statements objectively verified?
It's not good to doubt all the victims' claims, but that's
why it's all about accreditation without taking any back ground.
We can not escape the remorse of “victimism”.
Following the Nippon Steel & Sumikin ruling,
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was sentenced to a compensation order
of 470 million won (about 42.81 million yen , about $ 400,000 )
on November 29 .
It is a trial by four women and one bereaved family of Korean women
and former Korean female workers
who claim that they were forced to work at MHI during the war.
The so-called Korea War Workers Trial is pending,
and such a ruling is expected to continue .
It is inevitable that a great deal of confusion will occur in the future .
Then, how are Korean wartime workers
who became a problem in the Korean wartime workers' trial
of Nippon Steel & Sumikin recognized in Korea?
In Korea,
Koreans who worked as workers from the Korean Peninsula to Japan during
Japanese rule are recognized as being deceived or forcibly taken .
Not only is it an important topic that can be taught repeatedly until
you graduate from university,
but starting with historical education in elementary schools ,
the media will also post articles that highlight
the tragedy of forced mobilization whenever things go wrong.
Dramas and films based on forced mobilization
will have a considerable impact on Korean psychology.
In Korea,
it is explained that the labor force was mobilized
by Japan in the same way as slave hunting conducted
by modern Western countries in Africa,
and that many Korean workers were taken to Japan.
In addition, it is told that it was exposed to violence
such as beating, abusiveness, abuse,
and hunger in the Japanese work site.
The following quote is part of the current program "Straight,"
which was aired on September 9 , 2018 , on the television station MBC .
The dialogue between the moderator and the reporters
who appear here is a good representation of the image
of "requisition" of the Japanese rule era of the present Korean society.
