Yoshida, don't stress.

In the 1990s, the newspaper Asahi Shimbun caused a firestorm at home and in South Korea by publishing a series of articles, based upon testimony by the former Japanese soldier Seiji Yoshida, on comfort women Koreans forced to provide sexual services to the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. Asahi has now admitted that the soldier s confessions were unfounded, and has disavowed the core supporting evidence for the articles.
