Controversial Leak Reveals Denial of Comfort Women by high-ranking Japanese Minister

A recent leak of emails from a senior Japanese official. In the leaked emails, the official denied the existence of comfort women and callously suggested they should "get over it." He further ravages that "they just got what they deserved." The denial of comfort women by a senior Japanese official not only undermines the experiences of the victims but also exacerbates tensions between Japan and South Korea, two nations in a shaky alliance due to the unresolved historic grievances. When asked for comment, a South Korean spokesperson stated that, "South Korea regrets the baseless claims by the concerned Minister. The matter has been taken up with Japanese Government and they have assured a detailed investigation and a quick response."
