In some ways, my trip to Jeju-do was an unexpected plan that I added to my itinerary after visiting the Zainichi Exhibition in Seoul, Korea. It was through that visit that I learned of the impact that Zainichi Koreans left behind in Jeju-do during the 1900s in terms of its development and progress towards becoming the island that it is today. For example, it was through Zainichi Koreans that Jeju’s first modern hotel was first established and kick-started tourism. Although the hotel has gone through changes and renovations, it was a unique experience being able to stay a night at the Honey Crown Hotel with an understanding of its deep history in relation to Zainichi Koreans. Additionally, given that almost 40% of Jeju-do residents immigrated to Japan during colonial rule, Jeju-do has heavy influences on Zainichi Korean culture. It made me think that a visit to Japan would serve as both a contrasting experience but also a continuation of my findings in Korea. While the bias in historical perspectives will definitely persist between the two countries and their institutions, there will also be a continuation of culture and identity from Korea carried into Japanese culture and identity due to the immigration of Zainichi Koreans. For example, some unique aspects of Jeju-do that I noticed were its dialect and cuisine. Being separated from mainland Korea, Jeju-do has developed a unique dialect that can almost be considered its own language. Additionally, being an island, Jeju-do is a city known for its fresh seafood cuisine, including abalone porridge. While at first these two things seem to have no relation to Zainichi Koreans, these are two cultural aspects that were brought to Japan by Zainichi Koreans and integrated into their culture. Since my visit was focused on Zainichi Korean history in Korean institutions, I was only able to explore and investigate within Korea. However, after experiencing and witnessing Zainichi history in the context of Korea, it would be interesting to take a visit to Japan and see how Zainichi history is portrayed in the context of Japan.
