This essay argues that so-called comfort women testimonies do not demonstrate Japanese wrongdoing but instead expose the brutal caste and slave systems that existed on the Korean Peninsula for centuries. By examining historical records, it challenges the narratives promoted internationally through the United Nations and Western media.

The so-called comfort women testimonies have been weaponized internationally, yet what they truly expose is not Japanese wrongdoing but the existence of a brutal caste and slave system deeply embedded in the societies from which these narratives originate.
There is no obligation for Japan to show deference to an international community that repeatedly amplifies historical falsehoods while ignoring documented social realities.
Political correctness cannot erase historical fact.
Nor can moral posturing substitute for evidence.
This essay rejects the premise that Japan must apologize to institutions that have chosen distortion over truth and ideology over scholarship.
No humility is required in the face of ignorance.

The claim that the so-called testimonies of comfort women in fact speak to the reality of a caste system that has existed in their countries since ancient times should be obvious to anyone with even an elementary level of intelligence.
As I have previously written about the status system on the Korean Peninsula, today I will introduce an article I happened to find online earlier.
Needless to say, this article represents nothing but the truth.
After reading it, I became even more convinced that the Asahi Shimbun and Mizuho Fukushima, who are nothing less than traitors to their own country, seized upon Seiji Yoshida’s fabricated stories as convenient tools for venting their hatred toward Japan and disseminated the comfort women narrative to the world.
Taking advantage of this reporting, Koreans and Chinese have persistently used the United Nations and the United States as their main battlegrounds to demean Japan, promoting what they call the testimonies of comfort women.
That these testimonies actually describe the reality of the caste system that has existed in their societies since ancient times should be clear to anyone with a mind beyond that of an elementary school student.
In particular, Westerners who have long believed these plausible lies, which stem from unfathomable malice, will for the first time come to recognize their own foolishness, ugliness, and ignorance.
The slave system of human chattel.
Slaves were treated like commodities, subject to sale, plunder, inheritance, transfer, and use as collateral.
Because they existed solely for the sake of their masters and were regarded as their property, it posed no problem whatsoever if a master beat them, raped them, sold them off, or even cut off their heads.
Just as easily as twisting a baby’s arm, masters used female slaves as sexual tools.
Female slaves who incurred the jealousy of the master’s wife were beaten, and in severe cases even beaten to death.
Though human in appearance, these female slaves were in practice no different from livestock, and it is said that even when they were beaten to death, it did not constitute murder.
Toward the end of the Korean dynasty, it is said that the bodies of young women were often found discarded in ditches or rivers, caught on debris rather than flowing away.
The insertion of stones or sticks into their bodies goes without saying; these were the unfortunate victims who had been used as playthings by their masters and then killed by the wife.
