So far, 15 out of 10 victims have accepted the government's proposal to compensate victims of forced mobilization,
and 2 have received compensation. Among those who won the case in 2018 in the Supreme Court, three victims and two bereaved family members, including Yang Keum-deok, are still opposing the government's plan.

In
3, the Supreme Court awarded damages to a total of 2 victims of forced mobilization.

Of these, 2018 agreed to the government's solution of receiving reparations through our foundation, not Japanese companies, and applied for reparations from the Japan Foundation for Victims of Forced Mobilization.

A Foundation official said, "Two of the 15 people have received compensation, and eight of them will be paid tomorrow after approval by the Trustees yesterday (10th)."

The bereaved families will receive a combined amount of KRW 10 million to KRW 2 million in compensation and five-year deferred interest.

An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that the receipt of reparations is the realization of legal rights and has nothing to do with the extinguishment of the bond.

[Seo Min-jung/Director of Asia-Pacific Bureau, Ministry of Foreign Affairs: We will continue to make efforts to heal the wounds of the victims' families, and we will continue our sincere efforts to meet each victim's family and seek their understanding together with the Foundation.]

Kim Sung-joo, Yang Keum-deok and Lee Chun-sik, who have publicly opposed the third-party proposal, and two bereaved family members are still opposed to the government's solution.

[Attorney Lim Jae-sung/Legal Representative of the Japan Forced Mobilization Victims' Support Foundation: The acceptance of the government's proposal by many of those who participated in the lawsuit does not seem to change their judgment and judgment on whether or not to give up their bonds.]

The Japan Foundation for the Support of Victims of Forced Mobilization saw the need for a special law for the families of victims who have not yet received a definitive verdict, so it decided to launch a research support team.
