Abstract: South Korea has chronically recorded huge trade deficit with Japan. The excessively skewed trade towards a particular country can make bilateral trade undesirable and lead to inefficiencies because economic activity options of the country that is deeply dependent on another country are limited so much. This paper analyzes South Korea's industries exporting to Japan, reviewing bilateral trade relations between the two countries. The four categories can be obtained in Korea's industries exporting to Japan based on the classification of HS (Harmonized System): vigorous industries, stable industries, unstable industries, and declining industries. The development of the industries such as electrical machinery and equipment, and their parts etc. is recommended for Korea to reduce the trade gaps at the viewpoint that the industries can have strong potentials in Japanese market.
