The bereaved family of another plaintiff in South Korean wartime labor cases involving Japanese companies is said to have accepted a payout under the South Korean government&#039;s settlement plan.
        
                    
                  
The family had initially refused to accept the payout, but reportedly changed its mind.
        
                    
                  
Under the plan proposed in 2023, a South Korean government-affiliated foundation pays compensation in lieu of Japanese firms to those who say they or their relatives were forced to work for them during World War Two.
        
                    
                  
Japan says any right to claims was settled completely and finally by an agreement in 1965, when Japan and South Korea normalized ties.
        
                    
                  
Sources related to the foundation say the bereaved family accepted the settlement and received some 250 million won, or about 173,000 dollars, on Wednesday.
        
                    
                  
In 2018, South Korea&#039;s top court ordered Japanese firms to pay compensation to 15 plaintiffs. Of these plaintiffs, the number who have accepted payouts under the plan now stands at 14.
        
                    
                  
In a separate lawsuit filed with a court in Seoul, the bereaved family had also sought compensation of some 58,000 dollars from the assets of a company in South Korea affiliated with Japan&#039;s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
        
                    
                  
The district court sided with the family&#039;s claim in a ruling on February 18. But the family is reportedly expected to withdraw the lawsuit.
