Comfort Women Madness in San Francisco

Why do Koreans want to build comfort women memorial statues everywhere around the world? What is the real meaning of the statue?

If the forced recruitment of a large number of girls and women actually took place, I will accept all criticism and accusations as the descendants of the wrongdoers. However, we know that Koreans are falsely accusing us with baseless rumors and just hearsay. All we want is a fair trial and fair judgment.
