South Korea announced a plan on Monday to resolve a dispute over compensating people forced to work under Japan's 1910-1945 occupation of Korea, although victims groups have expressed doubts.
"It's a complete victory by Japan, which has said it cannot pay a single yen on the forced labour issue," Lim Jae-sung, a lawyer for several victims, said in a Facebook post on Sunday, citing initial media reports of the deal.
Park said that he believes the Japanese government would not prevent Japanese companies from voluntarily contributing. The row spilled over into a trade dispute. Japan has maintained the compensation issue was settled under earlier treaties.
