Another Korean victim of Japan's wartime sexual slavery has died.
Choi Duk-nye passed away of natural causes on Monday.
She was 97 years old.
Her death means there are now just 28 registered survivors who are still alive.
Three other victims have died so far this year, among the 238 women who registered with the South Korean government.
The victims are still awaiting a sincere apology from the Japanese government.
Historians estimate up to 200-thousand women, mostly from Korea, were forced to work in front-line brothels for Japanese troops during World War II.
