23rd year of protest

A participant of the 1,160th Wednesday Rally holds a photo of former “comfort women” taken from the first rally on Jan. 8 in 1992 while protesting in front of the Japanese Embassy in central Seoul. The weekly protest is the world’s longest-running rally; the participants demand an apology from the Japanese government for the enforced sexual slavery by Japanese soldiers before and during World War II. / Yonhap
