2 More Sex Slavery Victims Die

Two more Korean women who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army in World War II died on the same day Monday.

According to victims' advocates, 93-year-old Kim Bok-dong died late Monday night and another 93-year-old woman, identified only by her surname Lee, died Monday morning. Now only 23 Korean victims are still alive.

Seoul and Tokyo agreed in 2015 to set up a 1 billion-yen foundation to help the victims on condition that Japan would get out of admitting direct responsibility, but the deal has unraveled since it did not reflect the victims' wishes.
