The Korean diaspora consists of around 7.3 million people, both descdants of early emigrants from the Korean Pinsula, as well as more rect emigrants from Korea. Around 84.5% of overseas Koreans live in just five countries: China, the United States, Japan, Canada, and Uzbekistan.
Other countries with greater than 0.5% Korean minorities include Brazil, Russia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia. All these figures include both permant migrants and sojourners.

The historically used term gyopo (교포/僑胞, also spelled kyopo, meaning nationals) has come to have negative connotations as referring to people who, as a result of living as sojourners outside the home country, have lost touch with their Korean roots. As a result, others prefer to use the term dongpo (동포/同胞, meaning brethr or people of the same ancestry). Dongpo has a more transnational implication, emphasising links among various overseas Korean groups, while gyopo has more of a purely national connotation referring to the Korean state.
Another rectly popularized term is gyomin (교민/僑民, meaning immigrants), although it is usually reserved for Korean-born citizs that have moved abroad in search of work, and as such is rarely used as a term to refer to the tire diaspora.
Official appellation used by North Korea for Korean citizs living outside the Korean Pinsula is haeoe gugmin whereas South Korea uses the term jaeoe gungmin to refer to tire Korean diaspora. Both terms translate as overseas national(s) or overseas people.
