The Korean Diaspora: Just Getting Started

The purpose of this website is to connect all the kyopos around the globe.  I want the Kyopos in the world to be aware that there are other Kyopos in other countries.  I would like to connect them to you !

I’ve been searching here and there all over the net world and have been connecting with other kyopos.

I’m not posting anything and everything I research but I have attached a link for Russians Koreans and one for Korean Americans on my home page that I thought might interest people.

There will be changes happening little by little so I am letting you know in advance.  If you’ve ever played Super Mario Brothers you’ve probably seen something like this:

Super-Mario-World-Map

The world is incomplete.  I haven’t even figured out the secret room above the ghost level where unlimited Yoshi’s hatch.

Just like this incomplete world, my site is like this, but it’s slowly getting there.

But don’t worry, it’s all for your benefit 🙂

I am looking for kyopos all over the world to write something about their story as a [insert country]- Korean.

So feel free to contact me if you’d like to share something here.

Also, if you’d like to see something in particular, please, let me know! Yes YOU! Let me know.

 

Your Kyopo Friend,

Jenny

Hello everyone, welcome welcome. You've made it ! Thank goodness, I've been looking for you! Upon my arrival in Seoul, I had the opportunity to meet with many gyopos that were from various parts of the world. We shared common experiences that most native Koreans do not face, and we bonded over the cultural ties we had to the culture we were brought up in more or less. When I left Korea, my chances to meet more gyopos were very slim, and it was hard to find them. It was unfortunate compared to the times I spent in Korea, where you never knew what kind of gyopo you would meet that day. So I searched all over the interweb to find them. However, what I found were old websites that weren't very active, outdated blogs, and sites that just were not very popular or user friendly. So I started this blog, along with a group on facebook and on reddit so that gyopos from any part of the country can still interact with each other and meet other gyopos in their community. So that's why this is here; I like featuring other gyopos on this site, so send me an email if you'd like to be featured and introduce yourself to the gyopo world. I'm not here to create the ultimate gyopo website (maybe one day), however, it's a start, and I hope you will enjoy the content on here and maybe meet another gyopo along the way :) -- 저는 단순한 교포가 아니에요. 저는 댄서입니다. 저는 미식가입니다. 자연을 사랑하고, 배우기 좋아합니다. 지금은 독일어를 배우고 있습니다. 저는 교포와 사람들을 연결하고 싶습음니다. 저는 친구입니다. -- Ich bin Amerikanerin mit koreanischer Herkunft. Ich bin eine Tänzerin. Ich mag Mode. Ich liebe die Umwelt. Ich möchte Menschen zusammenbringen.

      • No, I was talking about an “insert Korean young Kevin Costner” for a mock up of the Field of Dreams poster.

        Isn’t this website your Field of Dreams moment? You built it and hope we/they all come on in.

        Anyway, seemed wittier in my head than on keyboard. Good night lol.

      • Lol, my managers used to say this all the time but I’ve never watched the actual movie.

        But I googled and I understand now. I should really watch the movie, then you’ll get a delayed response from me one day ^^ night ~~

    • Hey Jax,
      Thank you and welcome 🙂

      Houston eh ? My cousin lives out that way, there’s quite a big k-community that way as well.

      Have you met a lot of gyopos while in Texas ?

      • Yeah there is a sizable amount here and in Austin and the Dallas FW area. There is an annual Korean festival annual here in Houston, it’s very colorful and energetic. I would say Korean Texans have a distinct culture.
