Contrition

From Netian Proposes Preview of 'Comfort Women Nude' Video, Photos:


    In connection with her recent "comfort women-themed nude photo-taking," actress Lee Seung-yeon kneels down to apologize to former comfort women at "The House of Sharing," a residence for former comfort women, in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province on Tuesday morning.


N.B.: "Comfort women" were those women from Korea, China, the Phillipines, and other countries forced into sexual servitude by and for the Japanese Army during WWII. Currently, a controversy rages in Korea over actress Lee Seung-yeon, who posed for nude photos as a "comfort woman." The executives of Netian, the company that prodcued the photos, shaved their heads as an act of contrition.
