Would he be considered a repatriate to North Korea who then escaped? He parents were repatriates but he was born in the country. 188.141.47.192 (talk) 02:24, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article scope

[edit]

Currently the article's scope includes both Zainichi Koreans (pre-1945 arrivals and their descendants) and recent immigrants to Japan ("newcomers" in South Korean literature, I haven't seen how western literature refers to them; mostly post-1980ish from South Korea).

The two are really really different groups though. I'd argue this may merit a split at some point. toobigtokale (talk) 23:56, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's only gotten worse. The lead says "Zainichi Koreans, or Koreans in Japan". Not all Koreans in Japan are Zainichis. Zainichis are one of two major groups on the island (maybe three if you count Sakhalin Koreans as separate). seefooddiet (talk) 06:55, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
