The Korean diaspora (South Korea: Hangul: 재외국민; RR: Jaeoe gugmin; lit. Overseas national or Hangul: 한국계 교민; Hanja: 韓國系 僑民; RR: Hanguggye gyomin; lit. Korean immigrants; North Korea: Hangul: 해외국민; RR: Haeoe gugmin; lit. Overseas nation or Hangul: 한국계 동포; Hanja: 韓國系 同胞; RR: Hanguggye dongpo; lit. Korean compatriots) 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 Canada, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Australia, Vietnam, and Phillipines. All these figures include both permanent migrants and sojourners.
