The previous day at a press conference in Seoul, he said the need to file an ICJ complaint, and then argued the need to file a complaint again. He pointed out that “My last wish is to go to the ICJ to fully examine this issue,” and “President Moon Jae-in should persuade Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to solve the problem in the ICJ.” At the same time, he showed confidence saying, “I will definitely win.”
“Japan attacked Joseon, dragged girls and acted as lawless,” said the grandmother. “The Japanese government has not changed from that time even after 70 years,” testified the damage.
