Koreans in Japan
The term has also been borrowed into Japanese language spoken by ethnic Koreans in Japan, where it is rendered "Choppari". The form "ban-jjokbari" (literally, "half jjokbari") originated as a derogatory reference to Japanized Koreans during the Japanese colonial period in Korea; later, it came to be used by Koreans to refer to Japanese with Korean ancestry. The Japanized pronunciation of this form, "ban-choppari", is also widely used by Koreans in Japan, either to refer to Japanized Koreans or to people with both Japanese and Korean ancestry.
