3.Documentary Introduction
Ethnic Japanese-Koreans are the largest ethnic minority group in Japan, referring to those who came to Japan from Korea(north and south) during the Japanese colonial period (1910-45). After the Second World War, the Korean peninsula was divided into north and south. This divide of the Korean Society greatly influenced Korean life and identity in Japan.
The phrase "Arirang going over the hill" used in the title of the documentary does not literally mean going over a phiysical hill, but a symbol of the hardship faced by ethinic Koreans in Japan. And 'going over' means the act of ethinic Korean Japanese who has been working hard to overcome their hardships. Therefore, singing and listening to the folk song "Arirang" is the act of sharing the past and the present of Korean identity in Japan and conveying hope for the future generations.
In the documentary there are both representatives of north and south Korean music. Ahn Sung-min is a singer who inherited the music of South Korea, which inherits the music of North Korea, and Lee Jung-mi who expresses the emotions of Korea through music. This documentary will focus on the relationship between the sensitivity of Korean and the music activities of those 'Living in the Border'.
