Korean theater in Kazakhstan as a cultural hub of the diaspora German N. Kim, Youngsarm Hwang Korea Journal, 2019 For Soviet Koreans the Korean theater, founded by amateur groups in Vladivostok, became the embodiment of ethnic art, literature, music, dance and costume. After its deportation, the theater worked in Kyzyl-Orda (1937–41; 1959–68) and Ushtobe (1942–59). It moved to Alma-Ata in 1966 and has been based there ever since. For over 85 years, the Korean theater has been maintaining and promoting national culture among not only the Korean diaspora but also the diverse ethnic populations of the Soviet Union. The promoting the cultural interests of the country of origin in a multiethnic environment. This means that the theater’s mission regarding Koreans in the former Soviet Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was and still is twofold: “diaspora building” and “diaspora intergration.” The recent challenges and trends faced by this unique diasporic theater demands a synergy between the Korean diaspora and its ethnic motherland’s efforts.
Formation and Development of Ethnic Entrepreneurship of Koryo Saram in Kazakhstan German N. Kim International Area Studies Review, 2009 The collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of sovereign states opened a new page in the history of the “Koryo saram ”. Opposite to other ethnic minorities, that have chosen the strategy of leaving the former Soviet Central Asian Republics, the Koreans have stayed but they are again being forced to adapt and this time to the nationalizing states. The Korean Immigrant communities living scattered over the world are demonstrating one specific feature - their special ability to adapt themselves in the host countries. Koryo saram are, in this sense, a remarkable case. The first generation of Koryo saram tried as fast as possible to settle down on the land of the tsarist empire and later of the Soviet Russia. The second generation did not have time to taste the first fruits of their labor in the new lands. They were forced to repeat the mission of the previous generation, that is, to adapt after the Deportation of 1937 to the conditions in a new land, namely Central Asia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 the third generation also turned out to be pioneering because they were forced to adapt to the new sovereign states of the post-Soviet area.
Koryo Saram, or Koreans of the former Soviet Union: In the past and present German N. Kim Amerasia Journal, 2003 There are roughly 500,000 Koreans who live in the former Soviet Union. About two-thirds live in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and the remaining third mostly in Russia. A small number of Koreans also live in Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Turkmenistan, Belarus, and elsewhere. This widespread dispersal of the population resulted from the repression of the Stalinist era and subsequent migration within the Soviet Union. Both in academic literature and the vernacular, the term "Soviet Koreans" was commonly used to refer to all Koreans living in the "unified and everlasting Union". During this period, the population referred to themselves as either "Koryo Saram" or "Choson Saram" interchangeably, but in the last ten years, both at home and abroad, the term "Koryo Saram" has become the preferred term.
