A statue of a seated girl symbolizing "comfort women," who were forced to work in Japanese wartime military brothels, is seen as protestors hold a regular Wednesday rally near the Japanese Embassy in Seoul on Aug. 12, 2026, to call for Japan's apology and compensation for the victims of the Japanese army's sexual slavery during World War II. The rally came two days ahead of International Memorial Day for Comfort Women. (Yonhap)
