, Sado Mine and Battleship Island ignored South Korea's request...Professor Seo Kyung-duk's Predictions
Feb 03, 2025
It is controversial that Japan has not yet fulfilled its promise to fully reflect the history of forced mobilization when registering a warship island (Hashima Island coal mine) as a World Heritage Site nine years ago.
UNESCO's request for correction "reflect the entire history" was not reflected in a follow-up report on Japan's heritage released by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee on 31st of last month.
Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University said, `It has already been predicted,' adding, `I have recognized the Industrial Heritage Information Center (Battleship Island Exhibition Hall) since it was built in Tokyo, 1,000 kilometers away from the warship island.'
The problem with this warship's exhibition hall is that it is not easy to visit. It is not located on the side of the main road, but is located in the rear, so accessibility is very poor.
In response, Professor Seo said "This clearly shows that the Japanese government is in a situation where there is nothing clean about the facility."
Also "You can never take pictures and videos of the interior exhibits."It is believed that this was a measure taken out of fear that the exhibition would leak out and become widely known."
The biggest problem is that it does not mention at all the harrowing historical facts that the victims suffered on the warship island, such as forced mobilization of Koreans and serious discrimination.
Professor Seo said, `I have been deceived by Japan for the past nine years. If so, we will have to change our diplomatic strategy with Japan,' he said, stressing that `the most important thing is when the Korean people need to continue to pay attention to the history of forced mobilization.'
