Korean Americans
Korean Americans (Korean: 한국계 미국인; Hanja: 韓國系美國人; Hangukgye Migukin) are Americans of Korean descent. They are mostly from South Korea. A small amount are from North Korea. The Korean American community comprises about 0.5% of the United States population or about 1.6 million people and is the fifth largest Asian American subgroup, after the Indian American, Chinese American, Vietnamese American and Filipino American communities.[2] The U.S. has the second-largest Korean community in the world. The largest is in the People's Republic of China.[3]
