ABSTRACT

Japanese government has made sabotage to 'Pro-Pyeong federation of Korean residents in Japan'(after 'Jochongreun') conspicuous after 1980''s, and has all the more made 'Anti-North Korea' 'Anti-Jochongreun' campaign conspicuous after 1995. This has accelerated the division between North Korean residents in Japan and South Korean residents in Japan. Fighting to that, there were many works that propagate and inbreathe the idea of North Korea. Nevertheless the tiny mood of change is seen after 1990's. For example the living problem surrounding 'pachingco' store are more handled or the conflicts between generation, and the deep cognition to the 'Nation' and 'Race' is seen. In brief, 'Jochongreun' does not stress one-sidedly 'Juche idea' and the soul of nation. Especially these gap of crack is important because we read off the tiny mood of change. 'Pachingco' store has dual meaning in the literature of North Korean residents in Japan. In economic side, that serves as tool that North Korean residents in Japan cope with Japan, at the same time shows in the condition of 'In-Japan‘ the living reality of North Korean residents in Japan. This shows a gap of crack between 'Juche idea' and the living reality of North Korean residents in Japan. If 'Pachingco' store shows a gap of crack between 'Juche idea' and the living reality of North Korean residents in Japan, the conflicts between generation shows their deep troubles in regard to the direction that North Korean society in Japan takes. Especially the works that handles 'Naturalization' show concretely the conflicting figure between 'Nation' 'Race'. To conclude, their works emphasize the individual domain that is not converged to the soul of nation.
