This is the week that caught me by the greatest surprise. When considering how Korean institutions convey the history of Japanese colonization and Zainichi Koreans, there are clear differences from American Institutions. This is undoubtedly inevitable as Korea is bound to have stronger opinions and thoughts regarding this period of history due to their direct involvement. However, the one thing I noticed during my time in Korea so far was how little mention there was of Zainichi Koreans. On the other hand, there seemed to be strong sentiments towards the history of Japanese Colonization and the existence of “Comfort Women.” I came to learn that there are weekly Wednesday demonstrations in front of the Japanese Embassy in support of “Comfort Women”. Therefore, I decided to take a chance to visit the Wednesday demonstration, but I was surprised to find that there were multiple demonstrations in place. Given that my research focus was on Zainichi Koreans, I was not exposed to the history of “Comfort Women” or the history of Dokdo Island at Williams College to the same extent that Korean institutions covered these two topics. Visiting the 1598th weekly Wednesday demonstrations in support of the “comfort women” victims, I recognized the importance of and sensitivity behind this issue in Korea. Even if it was a peaceful protest, it was hard to dismiss the clear standpoint that Korea holds in response to the impact left behind by the Japanese colonial war. These are sentiments that cannot be replicated in American institutions because they are a form of bias that is unique to Korea due to their position in relation to Japanese colonial rule.
