Following Yang Geum-deok, grandfather Lee Chun-sik, a victim of forced labor in Japanese colonial era, was confirmed to have accepted the method of compensating for damages in the "third party repayment" method.
Grandfather Lee Chun-sik received compensation and delayed interest from the Japanese Compulsory Mobilization Victim Support Foundation today in accordance with the Supreme Court's judgment on winning compensation for damages for forced labor.
As a result, all surviving victims who won two Supreme Court rulings in 2018 accepted the "third party repayment" method proposed by the Yoon Suk Yeol government as a solution to the Korea-Japan conflict for forced labor in March last year.
Eleven of the 15 plaintiffs who won the Supreme Court's final ruling earlier accepted the government's proposed "third-party repayment" method.
Among the survivors, Yang Geum-deok, who rejected the "third party repayment" method with grandfather Lee Chun-sik, received compensation last week.
As a result, all survivors of the litigation have been received, and the bereaved families of the late grandfather Chung Chang-hee and the late grandmother Park Hae-ok still refuse to receive compensation.
