[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] Grandmother Lee Yong-soo, a victim of the Japanese military sexual slavery, has decided to hold a joint press conference with the Justice and Memory Foundation (Jeonguiyeondae) next month to establish a comfort women history education center.

On the 26th at around 3 p.m., Grandmother Lee met with Lee Na-young, the chairperson of Jeonguiyeondae, at a cafe in Nam-gu, Daegu, where they reportedly had a conversation with the intention of "discussing and doing things properly going forward." Grandmother Lee is expected to announce a concrete position in Daegu next month together with Jeonguiyeondae.

Chairperson Lee said, "Grandmother asked us to come first, so we visited that day," adding, "We discussed basic topics such as the comfort women history education center that the grandmother wants and Korea-Japan student exchanges," and "We want to have more active activities in consultation with the grandmother going forward."

Grandmother Lee also reportedly brought up the story of Son Mo (60), the director of the Jeonguiyeondae Mapo shelter, who passed away at her home on the 6th.

Chairperson Lee conveyed, "The grandmother showed tears while mourning, saying that Director Son was 'someone who should not have died.'"
