[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Lee Yong-soo (92), a victim of the Japanese military sexual slavery, will hold her second press conference on the 25th. She previously expressed her intention to abstain from the Wednesday Demonstration, citing issues such as the accounting transparency of the Justice and Memory Foundation (Jeonguiyeondae).


Lee is scheduled to hold the press conference at 2 p.m. at a teahouse in Nam-gu, Daegu. This is the same place where she held her first press conference exposing Jeonguiyeondae on the 7th.


However, due to the limited space, the number of attendees will be restricted, and only some journalists will be allowed to ask questions through a lottery system. A representative from Lee’s side stated, "The grandmother chose the location she wanted for the press conference."


Whether former Jeonguiyeondae director and newly elected Democratic Party lawmaker Yoon Mee-hyang will attend is also drawing attention. However, the possibility is currently considered low.



Previously, on the 19th, Lee and Yoon reportedly met at an undisclosed location in Daegu. At that meeting, Lee told Yoon, "I will hold a press conference within a few days, so please come down." However, Lee has repeatedly stated in interviews with various media outlets after the meeting that she has "never forgiven" Yoon.
