Is the phrase, “History controls Korea-Japan relations,” the most accurate assessmentof the situation? Some experts contend that the relationship after World War II is oneof being “distant countries,” despite being so near. This assertion has maintained acertain validity even after the “normalization” of Korea-Japan diplomatic relationsin 1965. In fact, the above description is very precise when it comes to describingthe relationship between the two countries, which is complicated because ofJapan’s colonization of Korea. Recognition of the fact that history is a pendingissue for both countries is unavoidable. It is time, however, to change the stereotyped formula when analyzing these ties. Security issues, namely, the two sides’ security perceptions about East Asia,including the DPRK nuclear threat, should be added to these arguments as aninfluencing factor. The purpose of this paper is to clarify how Korea-Japan relations have changed sincethe DPRK developed nuclear weapons, additionally taking into consideration itsthree nuclear tests. In particular, this paper tries to show how Japan’s perceptionsof the DPRK’s nuclear development and its policies have changed since theDPRK conducted nuclear tests—as well as what kinds of factors have influencedJapan’s perceptions of the DPRK. In addition, this study addresses the impact ofJapan’s security perceptions toward the DPRK on the relationship between Koreaand Japan.
