在韓日本人、１０年で倍増 半数、統一協会関係者か
2005年9月9日 産経新聞 東京朝刊 30頁
【ソウル＝黒田勝弘】韓国在住の日本人が急増している。この十年ほどの間で倍増しており、しかも在韓日本人の半数以上は集団結婚などで韓国にやってきた統一教会（世界基督教統一神霊協会）の関係者とその家族といわれる。韓国居住日本人の中心を占めるようになった統一教会関係者の存在が今後、韓国社会や日韓関係にどのような影響を与えるのか関心が集まっている。
在韓日本人の数が大きく増えだしたのは一九九〇年代に入ってから。在韓日本大使館の統計（在留届け基準）によると、それまで六千人ほどだったのが一九九五年には初めて一万人台になり、今年は約二万一千人と十年間で倍増した。関係筋によるとその背景は、統一教会の集団結婚で韓国にきた日本女性とその子供の急増だという。とくに近年、出産で子供が増え、日本大使館では新たな旅券発行に追われるほどだという。
在留邦人の職業など詳しい内訳は不明だが、日本大使館筋によると、長期滞在の在留邦人二万一千人のうち半分以上にあたる約一万一千人ほどが統一教会関係者ではないかと推定している。
統一教会関係者は韓国人と結婚してもほとんど日本国籍を維持し、子供も日本国籍にしているという。このため新たに生まれた子供にも日本旅券が必要なため、日本大使館は定期的に地方に職員を派遣し臨時の旅券発給業務をしているほどだ。
女性を中心にした統一教会関係の日本人の多くは韓国の地方に在住し、日本語通訳など社会活動もしている。ただ、日韓関係で問題が起きると記者会見をし「独島（日本名・竹島）は韓国のもの！」と叫んだり、教科書問題では「韓国国民に謝罪する」と声明を発表するなど反日行動が目を引く。日本国籍を維持している理由は明らかでないが、布教や財政上の理由などから有利と判断しているためとみられている。
2008年7月19日に教祖夫妻が搭乗していたヘリコプターが不時着（墜落）したことについて、以前の記事『ヘリで不時着後もプライベートジェットで旅する旧統一教会の総裁ご家族や幹部ご一行』でふれましたが、ヘリコプター（シコルスキー S-92A）は大破・炎上したものの、軽傷ですんだせいか、事故の後も航空機を利用したようです。
事故から３年が過ぎた（東日本大震災の発生から９ヶ月ほど経った）2011年12月4日、もう１機所有していたシコルスキー S-92A に搭乗して鬱陵島（うつりょうとう / ウルルンド）へお孫さん（後に韓鶴子総裁と袂を分かつ文亨進氏（七男）の子息 文信俊氏（三男））他と向かう途中、教祖夫妻は竹島（独島）に立ち寄りました。
日本の領土である竹島に上陸した統一教会の文鮮明教祖（１２月4日）。http://t.co/a4tK01Jh 竹島を韓国の領土だと演説していた延長上の行動。日本の信者たちとともに、支持する国会議員（民主党、自民党、国民新党など）は何と弁明するのか！

（先日国会で安倍晋三元首相を追悼する演説を行った）野田佳彦首相（当時）の下でまだ民主党が政権を維持していましたが、雑誌や新聞や世界日報が取り上げなかったせいか、右派の政治家や論客は抗議しなかったようです。以前の記事『「誰よりも日本を愛した」教祖 − 天宙聖和３周年記念ミュージカル』でもふれましたが、ずっと見て見ぬふりをしてきたのか、半世紀以上前に勝共で一致したとはいえ、反日と嫌韓が接近していたことはとても不思議です。
尚、文信俊氏は教祖夫妻が搭乗していたヘリコプターが不時着（墜落）した時も姉（文信宮氏）や従姉（文信越氏）と一緒に同乗していたそうです。

Hoon Dok Hae
Cheon Jeong Gung on 11.12 by the H.C.
(This is the report by Ms. McDevitt (Ms. Won Joo Jeong) during Hoon Dok Hae on her trip to Dokdo Island with True Parents.)
"I shed tears when I saw the islands from above singing ___' Father had been saying that he would go to the islands, where even though it's Korean territory, one must prepare all kinds of documents to for receive visit permission. Shin Jun Nim, as the representative of True Children, accompanied True Parents.
On 11.9 by the heavenly calendar, which is Dec. 3 on the solar calendar, we headed for the islands after Hoon Dok Hae, leaving the Cheon Jeong Gung at 7:20 a.m. I had a helicopter accident three years ago (with True Parents) and quite frankly, every time I ride on it, I am haunted by fear. However, since I was with True Parents and Shin Jun Nim who is the future owner, I accompanied them with faith. But until we landed on the island, I continued praying throughout the flight, calling in my prayer God, Heung Jin Nim, Dae Mo Nim, Hyo Jin Nim, Young Jin Nim, and all the good spirits.
When I saw Dokdo, which consists of two islands called East Island and West Island, after the two-hour flight, I was deeply moved. They are also called the Father Island and the Mother Island. The weather was fine but it was very windy and so the helicopter had to try landing several times. Actually, we had heard that it happens often that helicopters can't land due to the wind, and I was so terrified, I was shouting in my mind, 'Father, we can't make it. Let's go back!'
There is a landing field on the top of the police building located on the West Island, and after we tried to land for about 10 minutes, we got a permission to use that spot and we could land there. Right after landing, many policemen ran up to the air station and took photos of True Parents. (Applause)
At the beginning I was surprised but then I was so happy to see them. Father was so happy and said, 'Police chief, come here.' They had been lonely in those small islands and saw such a beautiful helicopter, and so I guess they thought someone famous landed. They were so polite and respectful towards True Parents that I almost deluded myself thinking our members were welcoming True Parents.
Before leaving here, Father had told us to prepare food for people there and our bakery at the training center made 20 large pizza. (Shin Jun Nim just came in! He offered a bow to True Parents.) They also prepared chicken in a huge container and plenty of drinks and fruits. Later we heard one can't bring in any food at the islands, but we took them with us thinking that we can share them with our members at Ulleung Island. When I landed I talked to one police 'How cold you are here. Do you wear enough underwear? We have pizza, chicken, drinks and lots of fruits, but I heard it is prohibited to bring foods here. Can we leave them here?' Then he replied, 'Give them to us please. No problem.'
So I reported that to True Parents, and our staff gave the food to the chief of the police. They were so happy and I am still curious how they enjoyed the foods. Father was happy and called all the policemen to take photos with him. I wanted to be with them but Father said 'Women, get out of here!' (Laughter) I went there terrified by the flight but I couldn't take a photo with True Parents. (Laughter) After taking photos, they, giving me their email addresses, asked me make sure to send them the photo.
Shin Jun Nim was so happy shouting 'Dokdo, Dokdo!' He had talked with his teacher that he would go to the island with his grandfather, and actually, his teacher called one of the staff members and asked if he was really going to the island. We were in the strong wind on a small landing field at the top of the building. Father was worried about Shin Jun Nim who was running around and I held Father strongly with this slender body so that he wouldn't be blown away by the wind but it was so hard.
Under such circumstances, I sang ___. When Father tells me to sing that song, I sing just imagining the island. But when I sang it there, I burst into tears thinking 'This is truly a historical island. How lonely you have been! True Father finally came to you who loves you so much.'
Father wanted to walk around the lighthouse of the island, but the police chief said 'It is dangerous to walk there because of the wind.' So after we took photos and offered prayer, we took off there, and when we flew around the island before heading for Ulleung Island, I felt so grateful and honored.
At Ulleung Island, there is a church leader, Rev. Eun Hak Bek, who has been there for 10 years. There we enjoyed sashimi and vegetables from the island prepared by the local members. True Parents took photos with them, all of whom were shedding tears with joy, and later told the children there to 'study hard.' Then True Parents left by car to go around the island and offer Jeong Seong.
This year, attending True Parents, I visited many places around Las Vegas such as Grand Canyon and Sedona, and I thought 'What a beautiful place this is!' But this time I found Ulleung Canyon at the island. Its beauty was so amazing. It has not been developed yet for tourism and so we couldn't closely go there.
I felt Father was planning many things in his mind, and it was a great opportunity for me to think again about Father's course. I visited Dok Do and Ulleung Do this time representing all of you. Thank you."
