South Korea's new president questions Japan 'comfort women' deal

Well, as a South Korean myself I contend that such an issue can't be resolved because of simply emotions

Believe me, ever since I knew about the Comfort Women the topic itself brings touchy feely emotions, but I try to consider it history. Yeah sure Japan may have done something horrible, and yes many people were hurt.

The thing is its history, both Korea and Japan needs to acknowledge that something happened, and this argument needs to end.

There are some issues. Some right-wing politicians such as Abe have made controversial denials of Comfort Woman before and some people support these people. I believe that most Japanese citizens have a correct mindset of this issue however.

Also, many, MANY Koreans grind teeth (like my mom, dad, grandma, history teacher, and past-me) and just hate everything about Japan. I understand that things can get emotional, but to be fairly honest it would be a bilareral benefit for both cpuntries if this invisible wall of emotion was broken down...

I dont know how to say it. I try to stay as neutral as I can about the issue, but I do admit the subtle emotion does have effect ln what I think of the situation.

Bottom-line, Korwa and Japan please stop fighting. Lets move on
