It has been almost 100 years since the Japan's annexation of Korea. However, President Lee Myung-bak has invited Japanese Emperor Akihito to Seoul to enhance the relationship between Korea and Japan, this year. Against this statement, citizens held a protest on Feb. 7 in front of Korea Press center. During the protest, one protester who was performing with a mask of President Lee and Japenese Emperor was pulled away by the riot police force. The protesters asked an apology of Japan for colonizing Korea.
