Soo Hugh's 'Pachinko' Adaptation Confronts Japan’s Colonization of Korea
STORY BY ALEX SUJONG LAUGHLIN AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY SHAYNE LAVERDIÈRE; STYLING BY NARIMAN JANGHORBAN FEB 4, 2022
Soo Hugh didn’t want to read Pachinko. The 2017 novel by Korean American author Min Jin Lee tells the story of a Korean family over 80 years and four generations. Sunja, the novel’s protagonist and the family’s matriarch, is born in the 1910s in Japanese-colonized Busan, Korea, and migrates to Osaka, Japan. The family are Zainichi, Koreans living in Japan, who are subject to discrimination and bullying. Pachinko, which gets its name from the arcade-style gambling game (Sunja’s family ultimately ends up operating pachinko parlors in Osaka), was named one of the 10 best books of 2017 by The New York Times. It was a finalist for a National Book Award. Hugh was aware of the buzz, and even though she is a Korean American herself, something held her back from reading it.
