Korean Americans are individuals of Korean descent who live in the United States. They are part of a larger Asian American community and have contributed to the cultural, economic, and social fabric of the country. The Korean American population has grown significantly since the 1960s, largely due to immigration policies that favored skilled workers and family reunification. Many Korean Americans maintain strong ties to their heritage, celebrating traditional holidays like Seollal and Chuseok. They often participate in cultural activities, such as taekwondo and K-pop, while also integrating into American society. This blend of cultures enriches both their communities and the broader American landscape.
