korean was telling the story of mass kidnaping, massacre and mass rape of comfort woman but in reality they were paid military prostituters.
Also doing the prostitution to support family was very common things in korea at that time, even before japan rule.
here is the evidence of the comfort woman had really high payments.
A former Korean comfort women participated in a trail in 1992 that they wanted us to refund the money she collected at that time to the Japanese post office.
26,145 yen (now converted about 40 million yen) which we deposited 12 times from June 1943 to September 1945.
At the time, salary details of about 40,000 were submitted to the Japanese court in 1993 by a wartime comfort woman herself.
40,000 is equivalent to 20 million yen nowadays. That’s staggering.
Monthly income comparison (1943)
· Prime Minister 800 yen Tojo Hideki
· General Army 550 yen
· Sergeant Chair 32 ~ 75 yen
· Sergeant Armament 23 ~ 32 yen
· Corporal, 20 Yen
· Heavyweight commander 13,5 yen
· Secondary soldier 10,5 yen

The comfort women at the time repaid the parent's debt after being prepaid 300-1500 yen. You can see how much that’s worth by comparing it to the list above.
Salary details of comfort woman was recorded even by the survey of USA, Japanese Prisoner of War Interrogation Report No. 49 (1944)
These are also official documents of USA national archives.
