The Korean diaspora consists of roughly seven million people, both descendants of early emigrants from the Korean peninsula, as well as more recent emigres from Korea. Nearly four-fifths of expatriate Koreans live in just three countries: China, the United States, and Japan. Other countries with greater than 0.5% Korean minorities include Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. All these figures include both permanent migrants and sojourners. Cumulatively, there were about 5.3 million Korean emigrants as of 2010.
Terminology
North Korea refers to Korean citizens living outside the Korean peninsula as haeoe gungmin (해외국민, "overseas citizens"), while South Korea uses the term jaeoe gungmin (재외국민, "citizens abroad").
Another broader term is gyopo (교포, also spelled kyopo); however, the term has come to have negative connotations as referring to people who, as a result of living as sojourners outside the "home country", have lost touch with their Korean roots. As a result, others prefer to use the term dongpo (동포, roughly "brethren" or "people of the same ancestry"). Dongpo has a more transnational implication, emphasising links among various overseas Korean groups, while gyopo has more of a purely national connotation referring to the Korean state.
South Korea has built its success on a population driven to excel and willing to conform - for the good of their society.
The country has seen the fastest economic development of anywhere in the world, becoming synonymous with a highly educated workforce, cutting edge technology, and large powerful conglomerates.
But it's come at the cost of a stressful competitive society - with relentless working hours and a pressure to succeed.
Now, a new generation of South Koreans is saying enough is enough. They are voting for a more liberal and kinder lifestyle with their feet - leaving the country in droves.

Going Global Ep33 - The Half-Century Story of Korean Immigrants in Argentina (Part 1)
On this week’s Going Global,
we look at the success stories of Korean immigrants in Argentina. Known as Little Europe and having an open door policy for immigrants, Argentina began accepting immigrants from Asia only 20 years ago, though Koreans had set foot there much earlier. Koreans established themselves in the foreign land with their characteristic sincerity and hard work. Having overcome cultural differences and other difficulties, Koreans celebrate their 50 years in Argentina.
