存命原告全員が受け入れ　元徴用工訴訟問題解決策―韓国

　【ソウル時事】日韓の懸案となってきた元徴用工訴訟問題を巡り、韓国政府関係者は３０日、原告の李春植さんが政府傘下の財団から賠償金相当額と遅延利子を受け取ったと明らかにした。２０１８年に韓国最高裁で日本企業に対する勝訴が確定した原告のうち、存命する２人がいずれも政府の解決策を受け入れたことになる。もう一人の原告は２３日に賠償金相当額などを受領した。

Lee Choon-shik, a former Korean wartime laborer, has received the compensation and interest for late payment a South Korean government-affiliated foundation paid on behalf of Japanese companies that were ordered to do so by South Korea's Supreme Court, according to South Korean government officials.
   This means that both of the two living plaintiffs who won their cases against Japanese companies in the top court in 2018 accepted the South Korean government-proposed solution for the long-standing dispute with Japan over wartime labor.
   The other living plaintiff received the money on Oct. 23.
   The 2018 top court ruling finalized the order for the defendant Japanese companies to pay compensation to 15 plaintiffs. Of them, bereaved families of 11 plaintiffs accepted Seoul's solution, while representatives of two deceased plaintiffs still reject it.
   In March 2023, the South Korean government announced the solution to have the foundation shoulder the amount equivalent to the wartime labor compensation the Supreme Court ordered Japanese companies to pay, plus interest on the delay.
