Foreign Minister Park Jin rides an elevator after attending a press conference at the foreign ministry in Seoul on March 6, 2023, about the South Korean government's solution for addressing the issue of compensation for Japan's wartime forced labor. The government formally proposed compensating more than a dozen victims of Japan's wartime forced labor through a Seoul-backed public foundation, instead of direct payment from responsible Japanese firms.
