The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
First of all, know your opponent!
Mr. Kim talks about the meaning put in the comfort women statue in that interview, I translate.
That would be enough to argue against mistakes on the Internet.
Here, I would like to point out new facts that are not known at all in Japan.
The idea of comfort women statue, a girl in ethnic costumes sitting on a chair was not actually held by Mr. Kim Eun-sung or by Korean Council for Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan.
Kim Youngjong Jongno district director, who supported the establishment of a comfort woman, suggested it first.
In March 2011, a counter-party, Anti-Japanese organization, met Jongno district director to build a memorial for comfort women in front of the Japanese embassy.
Kim Youngjong district director took over the seat, and the construction of the monument required permission for road occupation according to the road law, but if it is a comfort woman categorized as a work of art, he advised him to build the statue as not being permitted.
Kim Young-jung district director belonged to the ruling party of the Moon Jae-in regime, belonging to the "Democratic Party" together, said he had been an architect for 26 years before becoming a district director.
Kim district director also has a basic concept of the current girl statue such as "Black short hair with white Chima jeogori, black skirt, A wooden chair and an empty chair next to it, A line of sight gazing at the embassy facing upwards by 15 degrees" (Net version "Maeil Business Newspaper" January 14, 2017).
Kim Eun-sung was asked to produce a comfort woman from a counter-party, Anti-Japanese organization in May 2011.
So, according to the fundamental concept of Kim Young-jeong district director, anti-American artist Kim Young-jung was responsible for the production.
In setting up a comfort woman in front of the consular office in Busan, Dong District, Busan once removed the statue, but there was a circumstance that it lost the opposition of public opinion and allowed the establishment of the statue.
However, such things did not happen in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul.
It was because the district director himself had planned and supported the establishment of the statue.
In the "Seoul Newspaper" dated January 26, 2016 immediately after the Japan-Korea comfort women's agreement, Kim district director said, ‘Because the comfort women is a work of arts, it is relocated and not removed, the request from the central government is coming down there is no basis to remove it, there is no idea to remove it as an administrative agency in charge.’
To counter-argue based on facts You must know the other party.
In Japan, on the role Jongno district director played in establishing a comfort woman statue, there is no report at all.
At this rate, it cannot be beat the international publicity activities war.
