Though many articles have come out to report that the South Korean 'comfort women' issue has finally been resolved, it is far from the truth. South Korean President, Park Geun-hye and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe may have reached a settlement in which Japan offered a new apology and a $8.3 million fund for the surviving victims, along with the agreement that South Korea would no longer be able to press any future claims against this issue which has been going on for about 70 years.

However, this settlement has been met with a lot of backlash in South Korea, especially from the victims themselves. There are only 46 women alive out of the tens of thousands who were tricked or brutally taken to be raped, beaten, mutilated and tortured; they ended up being forced into the brothels created and used by the Japanese military during World War II.

It is heart wrenching to see Lee Yong-Su, age 86 and one of the women forced into becoming one of these 'comfort women', confront South Korean vice foreign minister Lim Sung-nam. She continues to ask, "why are you trying to kill us twice?" by striking this deal with Japan without letting the actual victims know.

It is hard to predict what the South Korean and Japanese government will do next.
