COURSE OVERVIEW

Each story of overseas Koreans might be their personal history, but at the same time, their stories constitute a strong root of Korean history. Looking at the lives of Koreans in Japan will help us understand a vital aspect of the global Koreans' dynamics. In addition, the existence of Koreans in Japan also occupies an important place in modern Korean history and modern Korea-Japan relations. Thus, in this lecture, we examine the formation background of Koreans in Japan, their ways of life, and their relationship with the homeland.
