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

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
