Civic groups, including the Citizens' Association for Japan's Forced Mobilization, criticized the Japanese government's sending of Akiko Ikuina, a foreign ministry official who has a history of paying tribute to Yasukuni, to the memorial service, as killing the victims' honor twice.
At the same time, he pointed out that the incompetent diplomatic capabilities of the Korean government, which has continued to consult with the Japanese side over the memorial ceremony schedule and attendees, have been revealed.
The Korean government is embarrassed by canceling the briefing scheduled in this regard.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has emphasized to Japan the need to attend high-level officials to hold a sincere memorial service, and explained that Japan accepted this, allowing the deputy foreign minister, the deputy foreign minister, to attend the memorial service.
At the same time, Ikuina, a political officer, said she would deliver a eulogy on behalf of Japan, which is expected to lead to a possible controversy over authenticity depending on the details of the eulogy.
