The subject of intermarriage between Koreans and Japanese is an interesting one.  A few years 
ago I read an article in a Japanese magazine (Bungei Shunju? --unfortunately I didn't save the 
reference) on the lives of Koreans in Japan.  Among other interesting claims, the article 
described intermarriage with Japanese as anything but rare; instead, it was said to be the 
rule.  The statistical number given was surprisingly high--I seem to recall that it was over 
50% of recorded marriages.  That number sounds exaggerated, and it may well have been (or my 
memory of the article may be flawed).  Does anyone have the facts?
