So comfort women victims have been demanding Japanese reflection and apology for decades.

We covered the journal page where the paper of a Harvard University professor who insulted such victims will be published.

After reviewing the various opinions that have been published so far, the journal has revealed that it may re-examine the manuscript according to the results.



Let’s look at the report of the Washington Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung, who covered this, and then connect to the United States immediately.



<Reporter> An



international legal and economic reviewer, an academic journal scheduled to publish Professor Harvard Ramsey's thesis next month, sent a statement to SBS in the name of the vice president of public relations.



If the concern raised in the paper is proven to be reliable, then further expert review can be conducted.



He added that new experts who had not been involved in the review of the paper to date will review the concerns raised.



Then, he explained that the journal would decide whether to fix the records by combining Professor Ramsey's calling.



A guideline for revising the journal was also attached, but it stipulates that the thesis can be discarded in case of explicit defamation and restrictions on the legal rights of others.



Richard Painter, a former White House ethics attorney in the Bush administration, at the University of Minnesota Law School, stressed that Ramsey's thesis should be scrapped.



[Richard Painter/Former White House Ethics Attorney: I am convinced that this paper should be scrapped.

I don't think the journal editors actually reviewed the paper.

It does not meet the academic standards.]



He said that he had analyzed Professor Ramsey's thesis himself and that he could not find any academic validity.



[Richard Painter/Former White House Ethics Attorney: In Japanese colonial comfort stations (between contracting parties) there was a power imbalance.

Nevertheless, what I thought was a voluntary prostitution contract is a complete novel.]

Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung, is there a possibility that the thesis in question by a Harvard University professor will not be published in an academic journal if it is reviewed again?



<Reporter>



The paper in question coming out next month has been suspended from printing to include answers to concerns raised by the academic community.



However, as the voice of criticism grew, the journals began to review the possibility of disposing of the paper.



Academic experts have warned that if Professor Ramsey's thesis, which is an obvious research fraud, is published as it is, academic guidance responsibility cannot be avoided.



Let me listen to Alexis Durdon, a professor of history at the University of Connecticut.



[Alexis Durdon/Professor of the Department of History, University of Connecticut: The journal is responsible for answering how this paper came out.

This paper is really terrible.

This is an example of academic scam.]

<Reporter>



Tomorrow (17th) Lee Yong-soo and the Harvard students who are preparing for a seminar, a representative of the domestic extreme right media sent a bunch of protest e-mails.



They criticized Grandma Lee Yong-soo and demanded that the online seminar be stopped.

The Harvard law student, who was in charge of the event tomorrow, responded.



[Rosalind Liang/Harvard Law School Student (Event Host): Actually, the email contained the meaning of harassment and intimidation.

But I would like to say that we will not be shrunk at all.

More than 400 people will be attending the online seminar.]
