An elderly South Korean man set himself on fire on Wednesday at a protest in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul.
韩国一名老年人周三在首尔日本大使馆前抗议自焚。
 The 81-year-old man has been taken to hospital to be treated for burn injuries.
The self-immolation came during a regular demonstration1 calling for Japan to apologize for forcing Korean women to work as sex slaves in military brothels during World War II.
The rally is hosted by the Korean Council for Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan every Wednesday.
The group has been doing this since the 1990s.
Three out of the 47 known surviving Korean sex slaves also attended Wednesday's demonstration.
89 year old Kim Bok-dong is one of them.
"We want our government to be proactive and clarify past affairs. It is not that we're protesting because we're hungry. Why is it wrong when we are trying to make them (Japanese) admit their wrongdoings when they've actually done them but are denying it."
