Court turns down S. Korean's pension request
OSAKA, Japan - Kang Pu Jung (L), a 79-year-old South Korean living in Kosai, Shiga Prefecture, meets the press in Osaka on Oct. 15 after his request for pension payment from the Japanese government was turned down by the Osaka High Court. ''I am really angry,'' he said of the ruling, which said pension recipients must hold Japanese nationality. Kang, who was injured while serving for the Imperial Japanese Navy, was a Japanese national under Japan's 1910-1945 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula but automatically became a South Korean national after the war.
