Korea-Japan relations in 2026 show a dichotomy: political tension persists but economic cooperation deepens. Political friction points: (1) Forced labor compensation plan - Korean Supreme Court ruling on Mitsubishi Heavy Industries assets (2) Dokdo/Takeshima territorial dispute (3) Export control divergence on semiconductor equipment to China. Economic cooperation: (1) Korea-Japan FTA negotiations resumed after 8-year pause - tariffs on auto parts, electronics (2) Joint semiconductor R&D - Samsung + Tokyo Electron developing next-gen HBM packaging equipment (3) Currency swap agreement expanded from $10B to $30B. Corporate level: Korean companies invested $3.2B in Japan in 2025 (up 40% from 2022). Japanese companies invested $2.8B in Korea. The economic relationship is decoupling from political relationship. For investors: Korea-Japan cooperation stocks (semiconductor equipment joint ventures, tourism, cosmetics) outperform political tension beneficiaries (defense, nuclear).
