ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to examine the full picture of a Zainichi magazine in Japan, published between 1960 and 1989, and to question its historical significance. In the 1960s, disputes over the return of businesses to North Korea and the normalization of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Japan were raised in the 1970s, with major issues related to social security and generational conflicts in the 1980s. In other words, the magazine, which began in the 1970s with a new direction amongst the rigid atmosphere led by organizations in Japan since the 1960s and the harmony of the left and right conflicts, in Zainichi society developed. This is a change that transcends the concepts of “ethnicity” and “one's native country” and reveals the basis for the existence of “resident Koreans.” The study demonstrated Zainichi’s true nature by presenting the topography of the journal during this period.
