The talks for free trade agreement (FTA) between Korea and Japan began in 1998. By conducting research in industry, academia and government and collecting financial opinions, in December 2003 the first round of negotiation was held. The negotiation progressed rapidly until the 6th negotiation in November 2004, when the talks were discontinued. The primary reason for the discontinued negotiation is insufficient economic effects for Korea from the Korea-Japan FTA. Most of the studies that have analyzed both countries' FTA future economic effects have concluded that Korea's size of imports from Japan will be larger than its exports to Japan. This is because the levied tariffs from Korea is relatively higher and Korea will increase imports of Japan's products since Japan's product price will decrease due to the tariff removal. This paper clarified the frequent and simultaneous occurrence FTA policy and the problem of Korea. Also, the aspect of progress related to the Korea-Japan economy is investigated, and a policy problem that the two countries should work on the negotiation renewal of FTA is shown. Especially, this paper points out that the possibility of the expansion of the cooperation between the two countries and the necessity of symbiosis have risen unlike past by a change with a rapid Korea-Japan relation in the world trade environment and continued a technology toward Japan improvement of Korea.
