The following reproduces the full content.
It exposes the backgrounds of those who operate Chongdaehyop, the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan.
Some additional information not included in the original article has been added.
As Japan and the United States entered a period of close relations, South Korea found itself increasingly sidelined.
Even the U.S.–Korea alliance became unstable due to worsening relations with Japan.
During Prime Minister Abe’s visit to the United States, activists continued to follow him, demanding an official apology from the Japanese government.
South Korean diplomacy was effectively constrained by the principles of “official apology and legal compensation” imposed by Chongdaehyop.
It cannot be denied that this submissive diplomacy damaged both Japan–Korea relations and the U.S.–Korea alliance.
Serious doubts remain as to whether Chongdaehyop genuinely seeks to heal the wounds of former comfort women or instead aims at dividing Japan and Korea.
What follows is the shocking reality.
The backgrounds and personal networks of Chongdaehyop’s leadership are astonishing.
Spouses of key officials have been indicted for espionage or imprisoned for violations of the National Security Act as pro–North Korean activists.
These activists established a “division of labor” structure in which husbands engaged in pro–North Korean activities while wives conducted women’s and cultural movements.
Representative Yoon Mi-hyang is a graduate of Korea Theological University’s theology department, a stronghold of pro–North Korean ideology.
Her husband, Kim Sam-seok, was sentenced to four years in prison in a sibling espionage case in 1994.
Kim served as a policy committee member of a leftist group advocating the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Korea and the dismantling of the U.S.–Korea alliance.
He was arrested for allegedly meeting North Korean agents in Japan, receiving funds, and collecting state secrets.
Kim later became the head of a local newspaper and a military commentator, promoting the abolition of the National Security Act and the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
Among eleven executive directors, spouses of at least three senior officials were convicted of espionage-related or national security offenses.
Other leaders have likewise engaged for years in anti-American and pro–North Korean activities.
This is the reality of the people who operate Chongdaehyop.
