Koreans (Hangul: 한민족; Hanja: 韓民族; RR: Hanminjok; alternatively Hangul: 조선민족; Hanja: 朝鮮民族; RR: Joseonminjok; see names of Korea) are an East Asian ethnic group and nation native to the Korean Peninsula and southeastern Manchuria.
Koreans mainly live in the two Korean nation states, South Korea and North Korea (collectively referred to simply as Korea), but are also an officially recognized minority in China, Vietnam, Japan and Philippines, plus a number of former Soviet states, such as Russia and Uzbekistan. Over the course of the 20th century, significant Korean communities have emerged in Australia, Canada, United States and, to a lesser extent, other nations with a primarily immigrant background.
