A Study on Interrelationship between Identity and Unification consciousnessof New Generation in Koreans in Japan Lee, Sang-Kul․Lim, Chae-Wan

This study examines unification consciousness of New Generation in Koreans in Japan and how national identity of them has changed. Especially it classifies types of the identity and analyzes correlation between the types and unification consciousness. At first this study examines existing researches and establishes typology of the identity of New Generation in Koreans in Japan. It reviews existing typology critically and transforms it creatively in accordance with characteristics of the object of this study. The typology consists of four types on the basis of ethnicity and citizenship; combination-oriented, ethnic-oriented, citizen-oriented and individual-oriented. Not only by referring to the existing researches but by adjusting it for the purpose of this study, it sets four subordinate components including unification willingness, concern degree of unification, practical attitude and ways of unification preference.
In the view of study results, it is possible to draw several conclusions. First of all, to inspire the unification consciousness the ethnic-identity should be established because there is a correlation between the unification consciousness of New Generation in Koreans in Japan and the ethnic identity standard as it is marked on the results in a depth interview. Second, if the unification consciousness and the ethnic identity were low, the reason of it can be from the absence of the unification education. For growth of New Generation as a main agent of the unification, the organized unification education is needed. Thirdly, the unification education should be customized to New Generation by their identity types. Since each identity type has a difference in unification consciousness according to the results.
This study is confirmed that the unification consciousness is affected on the standard of the ethnic identity by not only a theoretical investigation but also an actual investigation. Furthermore it is meaningful that it is confirmed by the depth interview of the experts. Also it is significant that the object of this study is New Generation at this point of time which the role of Korean residents is getting important as main agent of the unification. In addition, this study established the correlation between the identity and the unification consciousness, although the previous study is not enough. Also it ascertains the political implication that the establishment of the ethnic identity has to be preceded to arise the upright unification consciousness.
Based on these outcomes, there are several suggestions for improvement of this study. First of all, object and method of study should be extended. The number of Choseon school is much more than that of Korean school. Also Choseon school accepts the curriculum of General Association of Korean Residents in Japan and North Korea. Therefore the comparison study between the students of ethnic school and Choseon school should be implemented. Also the comparison study between the students of ethnic school and Japan school also should be implemented. In addition to, the comparison study between New Generation of Koreans in China and U.S.A. is also needed.
Second of all, based on the context of this study, the subject of this study is limited to the identity type, the unification consciousness and the correlation between them. The subject of study should be extended to an improvement plan of the unification education and the curriculum of unification education for stiffen the capability as main agent of the unification. Also the study about an actual condition and the way of vitalization of Korea community network should be implemented.
Until now, the role of Korean residents abroad in the unification process is just an intermediary. However New Generation in Koreans in Japan, teachers, and experts agree that the role of Korean residents abroad is important in the process of unification. According to an extension of economical bases and an improvement of political capability of Korean residents abroad, the role of them should be established.
