Minju Joson Sunday says in a bylined commentary in this regard:

This is symptoms of doom for a corrupt country in which not a shred of humanity can be found.

What Japan did in the past is the unpardonable monstrous crimes against humanity but its present approach toward the crimes is the thrice-cursed ones, the commentary says, and goes on:

The actions taking a serious note of Japan's past crimes and calling for their liquidation are gaining momentum in the international arena. A brisk action is taking place even in the U.S., an ally of Japan, to condemn the crimes related to sexual slavery and call for their settlement. This reflects the will of the international community not to allow Japan's past crimes to be buried into oblivion.

Japan should never evade its moral responsibility before the international community.

Japan is resorting to the moves for distorting history and persecuting Koreans in Japan, far from admitting and making apology and reparation for the historic crimes committed by it against the Korean people. This is another hideous crime pushing the DPRK-Japan relations to an extreme phase.

Japan should stop acting rashly, pondering over the grave consequences to be entailed by its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
