Why does it say North Korea? U mean to say the right way South Korea

[asianmoviereviews]

It doesn't really have anything to do with South Korea. If its because the language sounds like what they speak in South Korea, its because North and South speak the same language.

This is about 3rd generation North Koreans living in Japan. Actually the school they go to is supported by North Korea.

I would recommend you to watch it, you will get an idea of what it is like for some minorities, especially this where there is tension between Japan and North Korea.

I think nk is doing a good job to help this koreans in japan. Despite the economic problem in nk right now, nk government is continuously sending money to these schools. Which is touching...

[lackthereof]

because this particular school is funded by a north korean organization, chongryon.

there is a large population of displaced zainichi koreans living in japan who can choose to either identify as joseon people (north koreans) or hanguk people (south koreans), via each korean region's respective organization that provides aid and funding for cultural and political identity as koreans living in japan. the south korean counterpart of chongryon would be mindan.
