In 1942, Japan began recruiting Korean soldiers into its army and started deploying them to various locations, including US military prisoner-of-war camps. This move marked a significant development during that period, reflecting the complex dynamics of World War II.

By 1950, the decision was made for South Korea to join the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), further solidifying its international presence and commitment to global cooperation in education, science, and culture.

Two years later, in 1952, a state of emergency was declared in the Busan region of South Korea, along with other areas. This declaration likely had profound implications for the local population and the general state of affairs in the region during that time.

The year 1955 saw the establishment of a general assembly for Korean residents in Japan, a pivotal moment in the history of Korean-Japanese relations and the Korean diaspora in Japan. This event likely played a significant role in shaping the identity and community dynamics of Koreans living in Japan.
