On the 25th, civic groups such as the Action for History Justice and Peace in Korea and Japan held the ‘4th Pan-National Convention for Judging Humiliation Diplomacy’ at Seoul Plaza and strongly criticized the Yoon Seok-yeol government’s diplomacy with Japan.

It is estimated that about 20,000 people gathered at the rally that day.

Lee Jae-myung, the representative of the Democratic Party, also attended the event and argued, “The Yoon Seok-yeol regime, who was entrusted with power, only gave away at the Korea-Japan summit and received nothing.” Representative Lee pointed out, “Japanese agricultural and marine products contaminated with radioactivity may come to the table,” and “If (Japan) requested the import of agricultural and marine products, shouldn’t we have said no?” He added, “Did (Japan) protest ‘absolutely not’ when talking about Dokdo?

Regarding the compensation plan for forced labor, he asked, “How did a solution that was only beneficial to Japan benefit us?” “They didn’t concede anything, but instead said that there was no forced labor and just told me a bunch of additional bills.”

In response to President Yoon Seok-yeol’s comment that “there are forces seeking political gain by shouting for exclusive nationalism and anti-Japan,” Justice Party representative Lee Jeong-mi said, “The Korean people are more confident than anyone else while expanding exchanges with Japan in all fields and competing in good faith.” They are treating Japan kindly,” he refuted.
