Answer
Reparations disputes were a significant factor in the strained relations between Japan and South Korea during Abe's time. The unresolved issue of compensation for Korean laborers forced to work for Japanese companies during World War II, known as the "comfort women" issue, along with the territorial dispute over the Liancourt Rocks/Dokdo islets, exacerbated tensions.
