It is reported that Cui Mou, a professor of the Department of Philosophy of Qingxi University in South Korea, gave a speech to beautify Japanese imperialist aggression during the course of teaching in the online professional course.

Cui claims that Japan's aggression on the Korean Peninsula "main responsibility lies in North Korea", and the Korean Emperor of the North Korea "betrayed the country" for money. "Gao Zong said he had a good life, and he lost a lot of money at that time. (Japan) said that he could give him a lot of money and let them live a good life, so Gao Zong said," Then you come to manage the country '. "

When mentioning the history of Japanese imperialism during the colonial rule on the Korean Peninsula, he declared that Japan was trying to help South Korea a modern country.

Some students revealed that he said, "The comfort woman is voluntary prostitution, and we don't need to protect them." The students said that Cui Mou's words made them uncomfortable and unhappy.

As the students' opposition is getting louder and louder, Cui explained that he is not defending Japanese imperialism, but he insists that "more comfortable women are more comfortable than those who are strong. (Prostitution). ".

It is reported that when Cui was interviewed by a reporter from YTN TV station, he changed his statement saying that he was not a historian. If there was a problem with the speech, he would withdraw these remarks.

"He should be swept out of the floor, expelled to Japan, and permanently prohibited from entering! If he stays, he will become the country's tumor!" Some netizens said.

Some netizens wrote: "Isn't this really a traitor? This is a betrayal of violation of the National Security Law."

It is reported that the Korean academic community has reported controversial remarks from time to time about the distortion of the history of the Japanese imperialist colonial rule.
