South Korea was forced to provide sexual services to Japanese soldiers before and during World War II.
South Koreans are celebrating their 30th anniversary of their weekly protests against the Japanese-era sex slavery scandal.

Seoul and Tokyo reached an agreement in 2015 and Japan agreed to pay nearly $ 9 million to the victims and their families.
