A recent study has found that dozens of Korean women were taken to a Pacific island as so-called "comfort women" for Japanese troops during World War 2.
The joint research by the Seoul city government and Seoul National University's Human Rights Center discovered names and pictures of some 26 Korean women who were taken to the island of Chuuk and were forced into sexual slavery.
Researchers scrutinized U.S. military records, newspaper articles and other documents to confirm the information.
The island, one of the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia, was home to a Japanese naval base at the time.■
