Here is yet another example of a comfort woman statue being built outside of Korea:

A “comfort woman” statue is expected to be erected in France to honor the victims of Japan’s wartime sexual slavery.
According to Ahn Shin-kwon, director of the House of Sharing, a shelter for surviving victims in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, the Gwangmyeong City Government and Koreans living in France are in favor of the idea.
“We are trying to figure out if there is a way to set up a statue in public place,” Ahn told The Korea Times Monday.
“We will surely face hurdles along the way just like we did during our San Francisco project. But we will keep pushing hard to make it happen.”
If erected, the statue will be the first comfort woman statue in France. [Korea Times]
Koreans hold illogical grudges back to and before the first Kim. Get over it.
Instead of JPN and US bashing why don’t you French, Californians, New Yorkers and whoever else is supporting these statues erect something that bashes KJU for his inhumane treatment of most of his people.

For the sake of equal revisionist history make sure the statues have shaved heads!
