There's no smoke without a fire, I'm sure there was something

I'm wondering why now, about 70 years after the fact, they are resurfacing this issue. It is a new country, new constitution and new people in government. It wasn't the Abe government who declared world war 2, not even the LDP. The Germans did a similar brothel system in their war, and no one is complaining about it. The President Park is just desperate to just keep pressuring Japan with media in order to gain an upper hand diplomatically with Takeshima or maybe its a personal prejudice from the president.

I think that the entire East Asia Region should take an example from Europe. Even after devastation and a sentiment of belligerence, the EU still managed to surface and act in a cooperative and non-confrontational diplomatic manner. This issue would probably not sort itself out until the 2017 presidential elections or an impeachment.
