Lee Hye-jin: Overstay: Undocumented resident

Sometimes they are able to live in solidarity, sometimes they are independent, and Korean migrant workers have managed to survive in legal vacuum! How was the life of Korean migrant workers recorded in the late 1980s when they moved to Japan to make money? Why did Koreans, who at the time were supposed to be reluctant to join a union, not their own country, but Japan, with anti-practicive spirit, with a foster education? The writer began his research on Korean Unregistered Workers in Japan during the early 1980s, when he learned that Korean workers had joined a large membership, became members of the labor movement and were again largely absent. The life of 37 Korean workers was centered on the accommodations of working workers in Yokohama, Japan, and the life of Korean migrant workers in Gotobukicho, who were central to the labor market. The Korean migrants’ lives are particularly detailed in the ‘illegal ’ state, where they lead their lives and labor and even participate in union movements. The more we divided into sections, the more we read about the process of fighting for the labor problems of Korean workers, the Japanese union activists and Koreans from Jejudo to work together to solve the work problem of migrant workers and then the Japanese labor law has been used to apply to migrant workers. We find that the most altered lives are beginning to crack the strong social fabric and create a variety of meanings. Korean migrant workers have been destructed in endless movements.
