Lee Gyeong-ja, a daughter-in-law of Choi Jeong-rye, a Korean victim of Japan's wartime forced labor, speaks to reporters in front of the court in Seocho District, southern Seoul, after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the victims and plaintiffs on Thursday. The court sided with the appellate court's rulings ordering two Japanese companies — Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and Hitachi Zosen Corp. — to pay 50 million won ($38,874) to 150 million won per victim in compensation for damages.
