SEOUL -- Public opinion in South Korea is split over the South Korean government's plan to resolve a dispute with Japan concerning lawsuits linked to requisitioned workers from the Korean Peninsula.
How the administration of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol handles deep-rooted opposition to the plan will be a focus of attention moving forward.
In response to a question from the media about opposition to the plan, South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin said, "A sizable number of family members [of the wartime requisitioned workers] have expressed understanding about the South Korean government's plan and hope that the issue will be resolved as soon as possible."
