A group of civic activists holds a press conference in Gwangju, 268 kilometers south of Seoul, on Jan. 17, 2023, to express their opposition to the South Korean government's solution for addressing the issue of compensation for wartime forced labor. On Jan. 12, the government suggested using a public foundation based in South Korea to provide compensation to Korean victims who successfully sued two Japanese firms -- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and Nippon Steel Corp.
