Jung Keun-sik, superintendent of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, said the complaint was submitted to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, demanding Kim Byung-heon, head of the far-right group, and its members be punished on charges of defamation of the deceased, violation of the Child Welfare Act and distribution of obscene materials.

Kim’s group has triggered controversy by staging a campaign across the country to dismantle girl statues symbolizing the former sex slaves, euphemistically called “comfort women.”

    Ok read the article and seriously WTH. How are the statues “pro-prostitution.”

    This is like saying a statute to memorialize and pay respect to the lynched is “pro-lynching.”

      The far right has supremacist views on their own kind. However if reality shows otherwise, they have to perform mental gymnastics.

      It’s like the idiom “I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own”

      Similar to holocaust denial
