''Japanese Emperor must apologize for colonial rule: S. Korean president''

From Japan Times

''The Emperor "doesn't need to come if he is coming just to offer his 'deepest regret,' " Lee said, in apparent reference to the address the Emperor gave at a palace banquet he hosted for then- President Roh Tae Woo during a visit to Japan in May 1990.

"The victimizers have forgotten; but the victimized have not forgotten," Lee said of the colonial era, which has left deep wounds in the Korean psyche.

In the 1990 banquet, the Emperor said, "I think of the sufferings your people underwent during this unfortunate period, which was brought about by my country, and cannot but feel the deepest regret."
