A portrait of Kim Soon-ok, a former comfort woman, is set up in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, Wednesday, after the 94 year-old passed away earlier in the day. Historians say as many as 200,000 women, most of them Korean, were forced to work in Japan's military brothels before and during World War II. Currently, only 26 out of 240 who officially registered with the Korean government are still alive. / Yonhap
