KBS is making a two-part TV program about Korean sex slavery victims ― also known as "comfort women" ― during World War II, to commemorate Independence Day on Mar. 1.

Written by Yoo Bo-rah and starring Kim Sae-ron, 16, the program, entitled "Girl's Winter," will be shown on Feb. 28 and the national holiday.

The two episodes will keep "sensitive scenes that may provoke anti-Japanese feelings" to a minimum, program director Ham Young-hoon said as quoted on an online news outlet on Saturday. The program would instead have a "poetic style," he added.

Ham said Yoo had been following the comfort women issue closely, attending weekly campaigns calling for truth about the wartime atrocity committed by the Japanese Imperial Army.

Korean and Japanese governments have been at odds over the issue, with Japan claiming it never happened.
