The term "Korean diaspora" refers to the communities of ethnic Koreans living outside of Korea. This includes individuals and families who have migrated for various reasons, such as economic opportunities, education, or escaping conflict. Significant populations can be found in countries like the United States, China, and Japan. The Korean diaspora has contributed to the cultural and economic landscapes of their host countries while maintaining connections to their heritage. Many members of the diaspora participate in cultural events, establish businesses, and engage in community organizations that promote Korean traditions and values.
