AB - This article explores gender perceptions in Japan and Korea by revealing how gender ideologies are justified in YouTube comments concerning the issue of ‘military sexual slavery’ (or ‘comfort women’). A framework of five legitimation strategies, moralization, standardization, rationalization, authorization and terminologization, is established and used for analysis with reference to previous studies. As a result, moralization strategies are used more frequently in Korea than in Japan. Regarding standardization strategies, Japan tends to justify ideologies by quoting past testimonies/papers or questioning the military sexual slavery issue itself, and to deny the seriousness of the military sexual slavery issue in Japanese military by comparing it with the case of Raittaihan.. In contrast, Korea tends to compare researches between Japan and Korea and deny Raittaihan. In terms of the rationalization strategy, many Japanese comments note on negative effects that Korea may encounter in the future on the issue of Japanese military sexual slavery. Furthermore, Japan shows tendencies of authorizing gender ideologies by using the international authorities and laws. Finally, in the current study, terminology strategies are not used in the gender ideologies in either Japan or Korea. Through comparing and examining Japanese and Korean premises about gender, it reveals that the commonality between Japan and Korea is not found, but the different characteristics are clarified. In addition, considering the effect of nationalism on gender perception, the current study differentiated two types of comments, one with racism and the other without it, in analyzing the data. However, similarities are found in the use of legitimation strategies between these two, which suggests that it is necessary to investigate a wider range of materials
