The Korean boom in Japanese entertainment during wartime

Friday Special Lecture for High School and University Students 2021
During the wartime, Japanese society suffered from a suffocating atmosphere of military rule. In addition, the Korean people were denied their own culture and forced to assimilate. Surprisingly, however, Korean songs, dances, and plays became popular in the Japanese entertainment industry during this period. Why did this happen? We will look at the relationship between this wartime Korean boom and colonialism and resistance to it.
NOTE:
- This lecture was conducted only in Japanese.
