The ceremony featured South Korean actress Han Ji-min, who read out loud a letter written by a former comfort woman. “When I heard my mother was a comfort woman for the Japanese military, I was too young to understand it," the letter read. </p><p>The photo shows a bust sculpture of Kim Hak-sun (1924-1997), who became the first former comfort woman to speak publicly about her experiences in 1991 and spent the rest of her life as a human rights activist. The bust, which was among 11, was unveiled just the day before. (Kim Bong-gyu, staff photographer)</p>
