Chōsen-seki (朝鮮籍, Chōsen-seki) is an alternative nationality among ethnic Koreans in Japan who has neither ties to Chongryon nor Mindan. It is a convention made by the Japanese government to register the specified residences who live in Japan. This non-conventional category does not have effective representation in the government.
Legal issues
On September 30, 2010, the Seoul High Court declared that any ethnic Korean from Japan who has a Chōsen-seki status is barred from getting a entrance visa to South Korea.[1][2]
Controversies
A 71 year old Chōsen-seki Korean in Japan, An Seong-gi, was prosecuted for exporting second-hand luxury vehicles to North Korea. It was later found out that he had business cards of high-profile South Korean politicians, governmental officials, military officers, and businessmen in his home.[3][4]
