By Byun Duk-kun
SEOUL, Feb. 9 (Yonhap) -- The head of South Korea's diplomatic mission in Tokyo urged the Japanese government Tuesday to offer a sincere apology over its past wrongdoing while also calling on his country to show understanding following such an apology from Japan.

Kwon Chul-hyun said it was time for both South Korea and Japan to put their past behind them through a sincere apology from Japan and Seoul's forbearance toward its Asian neighbor that colonized Korea from 1910-45.
