Aide to South Korean candidate suggests review of wartime labor solution

A South Korean lawmaker, Wi Sung-lac, who advises presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung on diplomacy, has suggested that the approach taken by the previous administration to address Japan's wartime labor issue lacked public consensus and could benefit from review. If Lee wins the upcoming election, his administration is likely to prioritize cooperation with the United States and Japan, aligning with their shared liberal democratic values.
