Park Jae-Hoon, Nov 29, 2018 : Park Jae-Hoon, son of Park Chang-Hwa who is a deceased victim of Japan's forced labor during World War II, attends a press conference at the Seoul Bar Association near the Supreme Court in Seoul, South Korea after the Supreme Court's ruling on damages suits. According to local media, South Korea's Supreme Court ordered Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to compensate 10 Koreans who worked at its shipyard and other production facilities in Hiroshima and Nagoya in 1944 with no pay and a bereaved family member of another on two separate damages suits. The top court upheld two appellate court judgments -- one that ordered Mitsubishi to disburse 100-120 million won (US$89,000-109,000) to each of four female victims, and the relative, and the other that ordered it to pay 80 million won (US$71,000) each to six elderly men.
