There is another Japanese company that makes such a closing and deterrent claim. If you've been to Japan, you've probably heard of APA. It is a large company with 353 hotel chains in Japan and 38 in foreign countries. However, it was a problem a few years ago to distort the history at this hotel, so I had a book with a compelling claim, and our reporter went back and found nothing different.

Let's take a look at Yoo Sung-jae's report that covers this content and we'll connect you to Tokyo.

Japan's APA Hotel is a hotel chain that is frequently visited by business people and tourists who are conveniently located for convenient transportation. There are 67 in Tokyo, too, and I went to one of them.

Two books that are easily seen in the middle of the room. It contains a kind of historical review written by a Japanese named Fuji Sage.

In 1910, the forced merger between Korea and Japan was largely unanimous in Korea, followed by Japan's huge investments in infrastructure, and the comfort women were filled with wild assertions that they voluntarily made money and not forced sex slaves.

Regarding the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese military said that non-combatants, including civilians, did not kill anybody but were forced to execute armed guerrillas.

The ROK-Japan relations, which have deteriorated sharply this year, are admonished to keep their eyes open for criticizing Japan for political purposes within Korea.

Fuji Seiji, the author of the book, is the pen name of Toshio Motoya, president of the APA Hotel Group.

Representatives of large hotel chains that many people find are advertising their crooked history.

Yoo Seong-jae, we told you that there was a problem two and a half years ago.

Yes, the technology of the Nanjing Massacre that I saw a while ago became known in China, and the criticisms were quite high, and we also reported the bad claims about Korea as well as China.

However, today (12th), it has been said that since then, accommodation for Korean and Chinese tourists has decreased, but the situation has expanded as the so-called 'patriotic lodging' of the far right Japanese has increased.

Rather than reflecting on a crooked view of history, I felt that I would close my ears to harsh protests and criticisms and rather use my right-wing officers to make money.

Motoya, the head of the hotel chain, also runs a group called Shoheijuku. It's a kind of lecture group that gathers far-right politicians and journalists every month to spread far-right history.

This distorted view of history is reflected on the homepage of the meeting.

Remember the APA hotel name. Let me tell you one more thing. I told you earlier that our government removed Japan from the list of preferential countries for export screening and white list.

<Reporter>

The official response of the Japanese government is expected to come about tomorrow, but the Foreign Minister Sato Masahisa told Twitter about two hours ago that "if the action is against Japan's export regulations, it could be a violation of WTO regulations." I will confirm it. "

Japanese media reported breaking news all at once, and conservative media reported that Korea was seen as a countermeasure against the exclusion of white nations, and there were voices of concern that the Korean-Japanese confrontation was barely insignificant. .
