... that in the Russian Far East, there is a population of North Koreans in Kamchatka that now aligns itself with South Korea? Source: [1] pg 472. From this point of view, a kin-state of Koreans in Kamchatka is North Korea, but that of Sakhalin Koreans is South Korea, although a tiny portion of Sakhalin Koreans are from North Korea. As time passes by, however, motherlands of both ethnic Koreans tend to be converged to South Korea, as the regime of North Korea is not only getting closed, but also economically impoverished. The typical example is Korean diaspora in Kamchatka. Most of them used to visit their hometowns in North Korea several times until late 1980s at least. But as North Korean regime is more isolated from the rest of the world, North Koreans in Kamchatka opt for another kin-state, that is, South Korea.

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Koreans in Kamchatka; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Interesting hook, article new and long enough. Earwig marks the two quoteblocks from the research article, but otherwise it's fine. Hook verified in source in question. QPQ done, good to go. Juxlos (talk) 15:13, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not Koryo-saram

Just a note, to my understanding this group cannot be considered Koryo-saram. Koryo-saram (to my understanding) are pre-1937 arrivals to the Russian Empire/the Soviet Union and their descendents, who were subjected to the deportation. These are post-1945 arrivals from North Korea. toobigtokale (talk) 23:30, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
