I want to question Mr. Moon about the alleged comfort women's group.

The following is from an article by Ri Sotetsu, a professor at Ryukoku University, published in today's Sankei Shimbun under the title 'I want to question Mr. Moon about the alleged comfort women's group.'
This paper also demonstrates that Korea is a country of abysmal evil and plausible lies.
______________________________________________________
The shameful appearance of the Korean comfort women's support group Justice League (Justice League, formerly known as the Korean Paratroopers Association), has been the self-proclaimed ally of "justice," about to be exposed.
It all started on May 7, when Lee Yong-soo, 91, a symbol of the former comfort women, held a press conference where he sharply criticized the "Justice League" and former representative Meehyang Yoon.  
The Justice League fooled me for 30 years. 
Ms. Lee said, 'For 30 years, I was deceived and taken advantage of by the Justice League. The Justice League has never used any of the donations collected from the public for the benefit of Harmoni (a former comfort women's grandmother) and others. From now on, I will not be attending the Wednesday rally (a rally held every Wednesday in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul). The rally taught the students nothing but hatred and hurt,' she said.
Lee also said that Yoon knew in advance about the contents of the December 2015 Japan-Korea comfort women agreement but did not tell them themselves and prevented them from contacting the government. 
Speaking of Ms. Lee, Harmoni was widely known in Japan for hugging U.S. President Donald Trump, who visited South Korea as a guest of state at a dinner hosted by President Moon Jae-in on November 17.
After taking office, Moon invited Lee and Yoon to the presidential office on New Year's Day 18, saying, 'The agreement of the previous government (the Park Geun-hye administration) is against the principles of truth and justice. The previous government unilaterally promoted [the agreement] without listening to Harmoni and the others,' he said.
Later, although he said that he did not want the agreement to be scrapped or call for another round of talks, he dismantled the Reconciliation and Healing Foundation, which had been created with Japanese contributions. 
It is not known what impact the Justice League's activities had on the process, but according to Lee, '[the Justice League] prevented Harmoni and the others from receiving the aid money.' 
Fund for who was it?
According to documents presented by the Justice League to the Korean National Tax Agency, the amount of money raised from 16 to 19 years was 4.92 billion won. Still, it seems that they were quite reluctant to pay any support money.
In 19, there were 825 million won in donations, out of which the amount given to the 23 harmonis was 350,000 won per person.
Yoon, on the other hand, has reportedly used eight accounts held by the Justice League and three accounts in her name (allegedly illegal) to collect donations. 
Ms. Lee did not receive any support money from the 'Reconciliation and Healing Foundation' or the Justice League, and I wonder if she didn't want to be taken advantage of only.
There was even a harmoni who scraped off her name with a chisel from a monument named after 247 former comfort women set up at a 'place of memory' in a park in Seoul (JoongAng Ilbo, May 14). 
In response to the revelation, Ms. Yoon tried to suggest that there was a problem with Ms. Lee's memory by saying on Facebook, "I talked to Harmoni on the phone and found out that her memory is wrong.
If Yun, who has been advocating for justice by relying on the memories of former comfort women and others, denies those memories, she also rejects the activities of the Justice League itself. 
During last month's general election, Yun wrote a letter of questioning to the major political parties, asking them to question whether they should return Japan the 1 billion yen that Japan contributed based on the Japan-Korea Comfort Women Agreement. 
Regarding the alleged report, Yoon said, "The stronger the unjustified attacks by pro-Japanese forces are, the stronger the resolution for peace and human rights for me, Meehyang Yoon, will be," and insisted that it was an attempt to suppress her in the fight for justice.
She also tried to win sympathy by saying, 'I think of former Justice Secretary Cho Kuk, whose family and even his family came under public criticism for six months since last summer.' 
'Pro-Japanese' label to pursue allegations 
More surprising than Yoon's reaction, however, is South Korean society's response to the uproar.
On May 14, 16 lawmakers from the ruling "Together with the Democratic Party" and others released a statement. 
They defended Yoon, saying, "(The uproar) is nothing more than an offensive by pro-Japanese, anti-human rights, and anti-peace forces to undermine the movement to correct the truth of history.
MP Kim Doo-gwan, a heavyweight in the ruling party, raised his voice, saying, 'Some media and pro-Japanese, anti-human rights and anti-peace forces are making a final offensive.' 
This kind of logical leap is probably a common practice used by many Korean civic groups and activists.
The logic is that she is attacked not because she has done wrong, but because she has tried to do right by being anti-Japanese.
In Korea, the pursuit of Japan's war crimes and responsibility is still considered sacrosanct territory.
And there is no doubt that this is the case, criticizing groups, media, scholars, and individuals involved in it is taboo, and breaking it is labeled 'pro-Japanese.' 
Japan is anxious to see how the war of accusations between comfort women's organizations and former comfort women will turn out. Before that happens, there is a question that needs to be asked of President Moon Jae-in.
Mr. Moon has always said that the resolution of the comfort women and conscription worker issues requires the consent of the victims (Press conference on January 14, 2011), but who are the "victims"?
In the name of justice, did Mr. Moon not know that some groups and individuals advocate the "anti-Japanese" agenda, receive government subsidies, solicit donations, and use these to make a living and advance into the political world?
Mr. Moon has been basing his support for such an organization on his base, shouldn't he be expressing his position?
