Ambassador to Japan points out that he does not use the expression "forced labor" and "consider diplomatic repercussions."

Park Chul-hee, the Korean ambassador to Japan, is controversial because he said, "I can't tell you if I say it" to an opposition lawmaker's point to use the expression "forced labor."

Ambassador Park replied at a parliamentary audit held at the Korean Embassy in Tokyo today, saying that diplomatic repercussions should be considered when Lee Jae-jeong, a lawmaker of the Democratic Party of Korea, said that Ambassador Park does not usually use the word "forced labor."

Afterwards, Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the People's Power, said it is correct to use the Korean ambassador to Japan as forced mobilization, and Hong Ki-won of the Democratic Party of Korea also pointed out that Ambassador Park's attitude could weaken the government's position, and Ambassador Park said he would clarify the expression of forced labor.

Ambassador Park said in his final remarks at the National Assembly that he would clarify his position on forced labor, stressing that the government's policy will not change, saying that it is certain that Korean workers have been mobilized and that negotiations have done so.
