On Dec. 14, comfort women survivor Lee Gui-nyeo passed away from cerebral infarction and other health issues, leaving only 25 out of 240 government registered victims of sexual slavery by the Japanese military. Lee was the eight comfort woman survivor to pass away in 2018, another victim who never saw a proper apology or compensation from the Japanese government. The photo (starting from top left and going clockwise) shows comfort women survivors who passed away this year: Lee Gui-nyeo, Kim Sun-ok, Ahn Jeom-sun, Kim Bok-deuk and Ha Jeom-yeon.
