An's views and remarks

  • "There was no overt exploitation of land during Japanese colonial period."
  • "There is no objective evidence that the comfort women were forcibly mobilized."
  • An denies the view that the Japanese military and police took women by force from the Korean Peninsula because Korea at the time was "a well-ordered society, although it was a colony."

  • "Half of the managers of comfort women were Korean. "
