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.) ==See also== *[[Japan-Korea relations]] *[[Ethnic issues in Japan]] *[[Koreatown#Japan|Koreatowns in Japan]] *[[Korean diaspora]] (a.k.a.
