Professor Lee Young-hoon, who belonged to the Naksungdae Institute of Economic Research, made the following assertions from this diary. Although comfort women were under the control of the military, the military comfort stations were run as private businesses. The comfort women also paid dues to the Comfort Station Association, though smaller than the management. He points out that the comfort women were people who took advantage of the war's special demand and tried to make a fortune and open a new life, and should not be regarded as incapable.
