[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] The Gwangjin District Council (Chairperson Park Samrye) recently launched a challenge condemning the controversial remarks made by Professor Ramseyer.

This challenge was initiated to denounce Professor Ramseyer, who has faced international criticism for his defamatory statements in February claiming that "Japanese military comfort women were voluntary prostitutes" and for publishing a paper titled "Sex Contracts in the Pacific War," aiming to correct the distorted history.

Chairperson Park Samrye stated, “Through this paper controversy, we confirmed that there are still many forces trying to distort history,” and added, “I hope this challenge will once again bring the shameless atrocities of Imperial Japan to the attention of the world and serve as an opportunity for the retraction of Ramseyer’s paper. I ask many people to actively participate.”

On the 9th, the Gwangjin District Council held a forum titled "The Truth of Comfort Women under Japanese Imperial Rule as Seen through the Ramseyer Paper Controversy" and conducted a performance condemning Professor Ramseyer, continuing active efforts to set history straight.

The Gwangjin District Council continues its activities to correct history by holding the forum titled "The Truth of Comfort Women under Japanese Imperial Rule as Seen through the Ramseyer Paper Controversy" and is striving to ensure that condemnation rallies, including the Ramseyer condemnation performance, spread nationwide.

Posting the phrase “Ramseyer must apologize before the truth of history with the conscience of a scholar” on social media (SNS), the Gwangjin District Council has nominated the Seocho District Council and Muju County Council as the next participants.
