Notes

This statue is a memorial dedicated to all the victims of South Korean war crimes committed during the Vietnam War.

The BBC did a great article on the this and the background of this statue, which can be read here. However, please be warned that it includes interviews with women who were repeatedly sexually assaulted and then ostracised by their communities as a consequence of this.

It's heart breaking stuff, but the ones who need to talk about it don't.

Due to the Koreans historically always being the victims of conflicts and never the aggressor, a large proportion of the Korean population believe that they are incapable of committing atrocities against other people and that all the evidence proving this is just lies and propaganda.

Because of this, they have never apologised to Vietnam for the crimes they have committed during their time there.

Ironically, this fact has been used by the Japanese as an excuse to not apologised for the crimes they committed against Korea in WW2, so this refusal to acknowledge their own pass wrongs has only perpetuated the historical animosity felt by many countries in the region.
