Lol, well its easy to say "You're wrong." Now provide me with facts proving that I'm wrong, please.

Im pretty sure Abe has been the only one to contest that since the first formal recognition and apology in 1993, however, correct me if i'm wrong.

If you are looking for a uniform agreement you will never have one, just like some people deny that the holocaust ever happened. So you have one dickweek PM who talks out his ass about how things were. a few PMs apologize and one denies it. get over it. here is Abes denial: “The fact is, there is no evidence to prove there was coercion,'' he said this referring to comfort women, essentially stating that women were not forced to act as sex slaves.

2001: Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi (Also signed by all the prime ministers since 1995, including Ryutaro Hashimoto, Keizō Obuchi, Yoshirō Mori) said in a letter: "As Prime Minister of Japan, I thus extend anew my most sincere apologies and remorse to all the women who underwent immeasurable and painful experiences and suffered incurable physical and psychological wounds as comfort women. We must not evade the weight of the past, nor should we evade our responsibilities for the future. I believe that our country, painfully aware of its moral responsibilities, with feelings of apology and remorse, should face up squarely to its past history and accurately convey it to future generations" (Letter from Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to the former comfort women)

Just one example of the many apologies presented to the comfort women.

Read it and weep

Repentance for what? It was war. Japan has apologized for comfort women SPECIFICALLY repeatedly, soooooo, what do they want? Money? How about the US starts paying Japan for all the atomic bomb victims? Germans slaughtered millions, Americans dropped nuclear bombs decimating 10s of thousands in a second. Japan and the USA are the best of friends now. get over it.

All his protest does is encourage the younger generation of South Koreans to create frictions and bad stigmas with the Japanese. Honestly I doubt it even does that.

I did read his age. Which makes it even worse since he is not some half wit teenager. He is an 81 year old man who has some serious mental health issues he needs to sort out.

This is about as dumb as me lighting myself on fire because Serbians were slaughtered by Croatians in WWII because I am Serbian. Just gotta go in-front of the Serbian embassy in Zagreb.. Like seriously people.. Atrocities are committed during war, but its been 70 years and you are burning yourself alive over it...get over it.

Send it to space.
