The Korean-American writer's "Pachinko" can be seen as an attempt by Korean-Americans to understand Korean residents in Japan, which served as an opportunity to see our past and present again. This novel is a four-generation chronicle of the novel. The writer wanted to paint their lives from the perspective of Transnational within the frame of Korean migration, although the historical background is different. The author, who lives in the United States as an immigrant, tells the story of how they go through their lives without revealing their dissatisfaction with social inequalities against their country or ethnic Koreans in Japan. Therefore, no father's violence, ethnic conflict and social discrimination in Korean-Japanese literature are seen. However, the author begins the first verse of the novel, "History has failed us, but no matter," and ironically shows how much the life of a Korean-Japanese who left Joseon and settled in Japan has been influenced by the nation and the people. Through works such as Lee Min-jin's "Pachinko," the constant search for the identity of Korean immigrants in Trans National will be further expanded in understanding and research on Korean residents, and we hope for a win-win future among Korean residents.
