Some victims complained that the biggest problem was the lack of participation of Japanese defendant companies in the Victim Assistance Foundation fund, which is at the heart of the government's solution.

He criticized the government for extinguishing the bonds that the victims would receive as a result of the court ruling with the money of South Korean companies, and that the negotiations ended in Japan's complete victory, saying that "we cannot pay even one yen on the issue of forced mobilization."

Criticism of the funds that the economic organizations of Japan and South Korea agreed to jointly raise has intensified.

By creating a fund that has nothing to do with the nature of inhuman and violent war crimes, the government has acted to cover up its diplomatic failures.

Above all, he said that it was unfortunate for the victims who had suffered for a long time that the government had not been promised a direct apology from the Japanese defendant company, and criticized the government for failing to speak out for political purposes.

Political reactions were mixed.

The People's Power stated that the two countries should build a future cooperative relationship, and for this to happen, the Japanese government and companies must actively respond.

Democrats criticized the agreement, saying it was a flawed agreement that would go down as a historic stain and that they would rather not announce it if they wanted to force victims to make a humiliating agreement.

The government is expected to ask victims and their families to receive reparations after tomorrow's (6th) announcement, but there is a possibility that it will lead to another lawsuit with victims who disagree with the government's solution.
