Tomorrow (1st) is the 102nd anniversary of the Three Days. It is a pity to deliver this news again one day ahead of the Three Days. Until now, Professor Ramsey of Harvard University has not withdrawn or immediately taken his thesis that distorted the history of comfort women. Condemnation rallies continue to be held locally, and soon the first meeting will be held in front of Harvard University.
Correspondent Lim Jong-ju in Washington reports.
