Korean diaspora

The Korean diaspora refers to the global spread of Koreans living outside their homeland, South Korea. This migration has occurred over centuries due to factors like economic opportunities, political upheaval, and social changes. Today, Korean communities are found in countries such as the United States, China, Japan, and Russia. These communities often maintain cultural traditions, language, and connections to Korea, contributing to multicultural societies worldwide. The diaspora influences global economies, culture, and diplomacy, reflecting both the mobility of Korean people and their ongoing cultural exchange beyond Korea’s borders.
