SEOUL — The head of the foundation established by the South Korean government to assist former comfort women has expressed her intention to resign, it was learned Sunday. Kim Tae Hyeon is chief of the Reconciliation and Healing Foundation based in Seoul. The establishment of the foundation was based on an agreement reached at the end of 2015 between Japan and South Korea over the issue of comfort women. The foundation was established last July, and continued to ask for the former comfort women to accept the measures for about a year. However, the former comfort women who live in facilities operated by assistance groups critical of the agreement have continued to reject the money.
