In July, it was pointed out that the expression of "forced labor" was omitted, along with derogatory remarks on the exhibition of Koreans at a museum near the Sado mine in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
On the 19th, Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University said, "Our government should urge Japan to correct this."Professor
seo said, "We confirmed this after visiting the Aikawa Local Museum in Sado City over the weekend," adding, "In short, it is full of errors."
In particular, the museum emphasized that although Koreans had done harsh work, the expression "forcedness" could not be found.
He also argued that the term "Korean" used in many of the exhibition contents should be changed to "Korean," and that ethnic discriminatory expressions that disparage Koreans, such as "Penarians are inherently dull and have extremely low functional talent," and "The unclean habits peculiar to the Korean people do not change."Professor
said to UNESCO that Japan will display the entire history of the Sado mine in close consultation with South Korea, adding, "We will file a complaint with UNESCO about Japan's behavior."
