Koreans held deep anti-Japanese feelings for many years after the country’s
liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945. In the 1970s, Mr. Kim Yong-seong,
after hearing about the miserable situation experienced by Japanese women who
had married Korean men, started to take care of some of them according to the
principles of Christian love, which ultimately led to the foundation of the Gyeongju
Nazareth Center.
