                Press Conference Condemns Japan's Attempt To Seize Korean Company, LINE In Seoul

                Civil society groups, including Korea-Japan Historical Justice and Peace Action, Korean Progressive Alliance, and Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, are holding a press conference in front of the Japanese Embassy in Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, on May 14, 2024. They are displaying banners that read, ''Japan, Stop Plundering Korean Companies!'' During the event, they are performing a skit that depicts South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol handing over the Korean territory of Dokdo and the Korean company LINE to Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. They are criticizing the Japanese government for distorting the history of the Japanese military's wartime sexual slavery, making territorial claims over Dokdo, and attempting to seize South Korean companies.
