Is This North Or South?
Property seized from the descendants of collaborators? North Korea? Nope
A presidential agency Monday decided to confiscate land that is now owned by the descendants of 10 pro-Japan collaborators during the colonial period (1910-1945).
It was the second step after the agency decided to seize the property of the offspring of another nine pro-Japan collaborators last May.
The Investigative Commission on Pro-Japanese Collaborators’ Property has conducted the confiscation as part of the efforts to clear away the colonial-era legacy.
The commission will seize about one million square meters of land by the 10 collaborators, which is valued at 25.7 billion won.
That will make a funny story at the summit.
