By Yi Woo-won I was completely dumbfounded and infuriated as I saw on TV that a Harvard Law School professor was talking about his academic journal article on Korean "comfort women" during World War II. He maintained that they were "hired prostitutes" who signed contracts, although no written evidence had been presented to support the claim. He denied "forced sex-slavery" committed by the Imperial Japanese Army. It was absolute nonsense! Considering his being a pro-Japanese scholar, I presumed that his research for the article had been tampered with and meddled in by the crafty Japanese government. Therefore, I think that the paper is nothing but cheap, deceitful and misleading academic writing which seems to have been devised under co-authorship of the Japanese government and an American professor ― in favor of the Japanese government's narrative.
