In February 2015, there are three grandmothers who received 199 yen from the Japanese government.
Kim Jae-rim, Sim Seon-ae, and Yang Young-soo grandmother.
They are all victims of forced labor who were mobilized in the Labor Volunteer Corps during the Japanese occupation.
When I applied for a welfare pension record to the Japanese government to secure evidence while filing a damages lawsuit once morest the war criminal company Mitsubishi, the Japanese side gave me less than 2,000 won, saying it was a welfare pension withdrawal allowance.
It was also given 99 yen in 2009, but ″I looked into it, and the period of joining the pension was a little longer″, and 6 years later, 100 yen was given more.

“oh my. how do i do this It’s really unfair and resentful, isn’t it?”
It is also a problem that the welfare pension withdrawal allowance was given following more than 70 years while ignoring compensation, but even that did not reflect even the smallest change in currency value.
The lawsuit filed by them in the Gwangju District Court was won in December 2018, but Mitsubishi later appealed and it has been pending in the Supreme Court for 4 years and 7 months.
Meanwhile, Shim Seon-ae passed away in 2019, Yang Young-soo passed away last May, and Kim Jae-rim passed away yesterday.
Grandmother Kim Jae-rim’s mortuary was set up at the State Funeral and Cultural Center in Gwangju, and the funeral is tomorrow.
The Citizens’ Group for Forced Mobilization under Japanese Occupation and others issued a statement and urged a speedy final judgment in the appeals court, saying, “The Supreme Court is giving up its role as the judiciary and giving up its power to Japanese defendant companies.”
