Not fair to single out only the Japanese for their mistreatment of POWs... Though you're really saying Japanese and Koreans (as Korean soldiers and officers were placed in charge of POW camps).
Australia, New Zealand and the United States had their 'bad treatment' of Japanese POWs (and US added more insult when they concentrated American citizens of Japanese descent in camps illegally). ;)

Japan has apologized--numerous times. Someone should remind the Koreans of this.
If the Koreans truly wanted to fight against human trafficking, they would build monuments to human trafficking; not create more friction between a former colony and it's previous owner.
