Korean women of Los Angeles observe a minute of silence in the front of the Korean Women Memorial in Glendale, California, on January 31, 2014. Glendale erected the approximately $30,000 statue, which was paid for by Korean groups. Three members of Japan's House of Representatives called on Glendale to remove the 1,100-pound statue honoring an estimated 80,000 to 200,000 "comfort women" from Korea, China and other countries who were forced into prostitution by the Japanese army during World War II. Since 2010, cities in the New York and Los Angeles areas have set up statues in honor of so-called "comfort women" forced into sex by imperial Japan's soldiers. While the statues also drew protests, Japan has devoted growing attention to Virginia including hiring lobbyists to defeat the proposal, which would require textbooks to say "East Sea" -- the preferred term in Korea -- in addition to "Sea of Japan."
