Posted in: Historic S Korea-Japan deal stumbles over statue See in context

If the statue is really meant to be the peace monument, it is my view that placing it in front of the Japanese Embassy is not serving its purpose, as it is only inciting hatred. Protestors want the Japanese not to forget the pains of those suffered, and I get that. But there is more suitable places to erect it as a symbol to promote peace and future partnership between two nations. My suggestion is in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Next to Sadako statue or the statue that commemorates the Korean forced labourers who died in Japan.
