At a New Year’s press conference, President Moon said for the first time that it is not advisable to monetize Japanese corporate assets seized for compensation for forced mobilization.

It emphasized the solution through dialogue, and the Japanese side is paying attention to what kind of solution Korea will come up with in the future.

President Moon Jae-in expressed his honest feelings that it was true that it was embarrassing about the decision to compensate the victims of comfort women.

This is because one more heavy homework has increased amid continued dialogue efforts between the two countries to solve the problem of compensation for forced mobilization.

At the same time, he confirmed that the 2015 Comfort Women Agreement was an official agreement between the governments of both Korea and Japan, and emphasized the will to resolve through dialogue.

It is to create a future-oriented relationship between the two countries and to deal with the issues of the past separately.

[문재인 / 대통령 : 강제집행의 방식으로 그것이 현금화된다든지 판결이 실현되는 방식은 한일 양국 간의 관계에 있어서 바람직하다고 생각하지 않습니다.]

The Japanese government has said that it will keep an eye on President Moon’s remarks and observe the actual actions of the Korean side in the future.

In his speech to the National Assembly, Prime Minister Suga said again that the relationship between the two countries is very severe and that South Korea must resolve it.

[스가 요시히데 / 일본 총리 : 양국 관계를 건전한 상태로 되돌리기 위해 일본의 일관된 입장을 토대로 한국 측에 적절한 대응을 강하게 요구해 나갈 것입니다.]

Japanese media, including the Yomiuri Shimbun, announced that President Moon was the first to express his desire to avoid cashing as major news.

Although it is unknown whether a solution that both the victims and the Japanese government can agree on is unknown, they are paying attention to the changing attitudes of the Moon Jae-in administration, which has continued a hard line with Japan.

After four months of inauguration, approval ratings have been cut in half. The Nansuga Cabinet is surrounded by numerous issues such as the Corona, whether the Olympics will be held, and the House elections.

In the reality that it is difficult to prioritize improving Korea-Japan relations, it will not be easy for Japan to take the hand that South Korea has laid out with dialogue.
