SEOUL -- South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has faced a barrage of criticism since last month's meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, which many saw as a humiliating concession in the countries' decadeslong row over wartime labor.
Yoon has dismissed criticism from the opposition and local media, saying that his opponents are simply weaponizing anti-Japanese sentiment. But the public's pent-up frustration over the history between the countries continues to cast a shadow over future relations.
