What real-life Korean Japanese women did to survive [KBS Special] | KBS 160815

If you've read "Pachinko," Min Jin Lee's epic novel, or watched the TV adaptation on Apple TV+,
you might be familiar with a character named Sunja, a woman born in Japanese-occupied Korea
who leaves her homeland for the imperial country in the early 20th century.

There are many Sunjas in real life—Korean Japanese immigrants who migrated to Japan during colonial rule. They have indomitably fought against racism and stigma towards Koreans in Japan.

We'd like to present the stories of first-generation Korean Japanese women, much like Sunja's journey in “Pachinko.” We hope this documentary will open up important conversations around race, oppression, and reconciliation—not just as it relates to Koreans in Japan, but in communities all over the world.
