Seo Kyoung-duk challenges Japanese media defense of Ha-young

Professor Seo Kyoung-duk publicly challenged a Japanese media column about the controversy involving Ha-young's great-grandfather. One side raised concerns about imposing social sanctions on descendants for an ancestor's conduct; the other questioned the Japanese media's understanding of history and consistency in its criticism.

Their remarks should be distinguished as evaluations and claims. The central issue is how to separate verification of historical facts from the scope of responsibility assigned to a person today.
