Abstract

Kyrgyz Republic is inhabited by several dozen people from different countries of the world. Indigenous Koreans are one of these groups of the population who live, work, and make a huge contribution to the development of the Kyrgyz Republic since the formation and collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The number of local Koreans has been slowly increasing for several years. To facilitate and support them, Korean diasporas were created in Kyrgyzstan in order to preserve national identity, develop Korean culture, and values, and undoubtedly the language. This article presents materials about the number of Koreans in Kyrgyzstan, their activities, and history, because of which they had to migrate to the Commonwealth of Independent States countries
