This paper aims to analyze various aspects of gender relations depicted in Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko. Many critics have devalued Koh Hansu by focusing on how Sunja, the female protagonist, overcomes dual discrimination as a woman from colonized Chosun and becomes an autonomous subject. However, Hansu faithfully fulfills his promise to care for and protect her and their unborn child for the rest of his life. In the case of Noa, a second-generation Zainichi (Korean Japanese), his feelings of ethnic inferiority and his inferiority complex due to his yakuza blood lead him to end his romantic relationship with Akiko, the only Japanese woman who has ever truly loved him. Later, he passes as Japanese, marries a Japanese woman, but decides to commit suicide when his true identity is about to be exposed. Solomon, a third-generation Zainich, dreams of marrying Phoebe, a Korean-American woman who was adopted into an affluent American family. However, they eventually break up when they realize how different their cultural backgrounds are. While most of the male-female relationships in Pachinko end in failure or separation, only Mozasu and Etsuko’s relationship endures, and their confluent love is suggested as the message and resolution toward life.
