The film "Spirits’ Homecoming" is based on a true story of Kang Il-chul, a Korean woman who was forcefully taken to the so-called "comfort station" by the Japanese Imperial Army in 1943, when she was only 16 years old. She is one of the 100,000 to 200,000 young women drafted for military sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Asia Pacific War from the early 1930s to 1945. More than 80 percent of the victims were Koreans, but they also include Chinese, Taiwanese, Filipino and Dutch from the colony of Indonesia. The women were kidnapped or coerced to serve as sexual slaves for the Japanese army at the age of thirteenth to seventeen. Only a few of them returned home after the War.
Unlike the Nuremberg trials, which brought the Nazi criminals to the court, the state-programmed sex crimes by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Pacific War had been considered as taboo in both Korea and Japan over 50 years. Since 1990s, surviving victims in Korea have asked for an apology and legal reparations from the Japanese government. By September 2016, only 40 survivors are still alive in South Korea, and they are still waiting for a sincere apology and reparations from Japan.
In 2001, Kang painted "Burning Virgins," which vividly illustrates her traumatic memories in the "comfort station." Shocked by the horrific image of young girls being thrown to a pit and burnt alive, film director Cho Jung-rae conceived of the movie "Spirits' Homecoming."
