The Faces of Gwangju: Foreigners 》Diaspora in Gwangju: Gwangju's Goryeoin Community

Story

Gwangju is home to one of the largest Goryeoin communities in Korea, along with Ansan in Gyeonggi-do Province.
Goryeoin (or Koryo-saram) are ethnic Koreans who live in the post-Soviet states. They are descendants of Koreans living in the Russian Far East who were forced to move to Central Asia in 1937 under Stalin.
Around 7,000 Goryeoin live in Gwangju's Goryeoin Village, which is also home to many special facilities for the community. Such facilities include a support collective, a radio station, community cafes, schools, and culture centers. An international food and culture street also was designated in the area, with restaurants serving Goryeoin cuisine.
