Former comfort woman Gil Won-ok paid her respects to the late Kim Bok-dong, a comfort woman survivor turned peace activist who dedicated her life to rectifying history and educating posterity. Gil attended the funeral for Kim at Severance Hospital’s funeral hall on Jan. 29. Her frail condition forced her to be transported by wheelchair. Gil is one of the 23 remaining comfort woman survivors who are still waiting for a proper apology from the Japanese government. (photo pool, Lee Jeong-a, staff photographer)
