Annyong Haseo: Behind the gates of North Korean Schools in Japan


Award winning documentary on the only North Korean School in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. To my surprise they actually teach some things you would assume a Kim Jong Il funded organization would hide, like how many Zainichi Koreans were not forced to come to Japan, rather they came for work but try to claim they were forced. Maybe North Koreans are not as brainwashed as we assume?

These Koreans were forced to moved to Japan, some did came for the job but most of them left Japan.

That doesnt make sense. Why would the ones that came on their own leave and the ones that are forced stay.

If you have the choice to stay or leave and you stay, you did it on your own free will.

The more I see and read interviews from these pro-North Korean Zainichi makes me rage. I am pro-US, pro-South Korea, and pro-Japan because all 3 nations are leading economies and highly respected throughout the world. But these pro-North Korean Zainichi disgust me beyond belief. I hear they now want voting rights even though they're not Japanese citizens. If you want to vote, you have to become a citizen and just file an application. But they don't want to give up their "North Korean identity and nationality". You can't have it both ways.
