'''Mindan''', or the '''Korean Residents Union in Japan''', is the name of one of two main organizations for [[Koreans]] [[Zainichi Korean|living in Japan]], the other being [[Chongryon]]. Mindan has ties to [[South Korea]] and was established in 1946 in [[Tokyo]], Japan. Currently, among 610,000 Korean residents in Japan who have not adopted Japanese nationality, 65 percent are members of Mindan, and another 25 percent are members of Chongryon (Mindan's decidedly pro-North Korean counterpart.)
