has been confirmed that Dokdo is a territory unique to Japan in textbooks that will be used by Japanese high school freshmen starting next year.
Some textbooks also contained the Japanese government's claim that all compensation issues such as comfort women and forced labor were resolved.
This is Kim Yong-cheol.
<Reporter> In
all 30 textbooks, including geography, history, and public subjects, which were released through verification by the Japanese government, they all wrote that Dokdo is Japanese territory.
At the time of the 2016 test, about 77% of the textbooks contained this claim, but this time all textbooks contain this claim.
In particular, six geography textbooks included compelling claims that Korea is occupying Dokdo illegally.
Technology related to comfort women has generally decreased in volume, and some textbooks have not even been mentioned.
Textbooks that mention the compulsory mobilization of comfort women are less than half of all 12 history textbooks.
However, in the textbooks of Yamakawa Publishing Co., which are most popularly adopted by frontline schools, it is described that there are cases of being forcibly mobilized or deceived as comfort women.
Some textbooks contained the Japanese government's claim that all the compensation issues for comfort women and forced labor were resolved.
Recently, the Korean government called the Japanese Embassy in Korea to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest the repeated provocations of Dokdo.
The US State Department said, "I urge Japan and South Korea to continue discussions to ensure lasting solutions to historical issues and the like."
