South Korea said it will announce whether it will respect an agreement between the country's previous government and Japan that was aimed at resolving a feud over "comfort women" forced to work in Japan's wartime brothels.
Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha will hold a news conference to say what measures the government intends taking to follow up on a public-private panel that concluded last week that the accord had failed to meet the women's needs, a foreign ministry official told Reuters on Monday.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in has said the deal, under which Japan apologised to victims and provided 1 billion yen ($A11.2 million) to a fund to help them, was seriously flawed.
Japan said any attempt to revise it could damage relations.
