Navigating Digital Activism and Faith-Based Support
This article examines the ethical ambivalence of digital activism in faith-based advocacy for trafficked North Korean women. While social media has become a powerful tool for raising awareness, mobilizing transnational solidarity, and bearing witness to injustice, its reliance on visibility also generates significant ethical risks for populations marked by extreme vulnerability. North Korean women who have experienced trafficking occupy precariou…
Promoting the Restoration of Korean Youth Offenders
This article explores how theologically grounded restorative justice can support the restoration of Korean youth offenders within a system shaped by retributive logic. It examines structural and relational contributors to youth crime – such as educational meritocracy, family instability, peer dynamics, and stigmatizing school and legal practices – showing that many adolescents occupy a victim–offender position marked by prior wounds that current …
A Longitudinal Study of Bicultural Acceptance Attitudes, Peer Support, Perceived Health, and Life Satisfaction among Multicultural Adolescents in South Korea
National Identity and Life Satisfaction Among Multicultural Adolescents in South Korea
This study examined the longitudinal relationships between national identity, bicultural attitudes, perceived health, and life satisfaction among multicultural adolescents in South Korea. Following Berry’s bidimensional acculturation model, a strong sense of national identity encourages positive bicultural attitudes, which, in turn, improve adolescents’ perceived health and overall life satisfaction. The study also investigated how these factors …
Changing Multicultural Attitudes and Their Determinants in Taiwan
Taiwan’s democratization has been accompanied by profound shifts in its ethnic landscape and cultural identity. In addition to the four established groups—Indigenous peoples, Hoklo, Hakka, and Mainlanders—a “fifth group” of migrant workers and marriage migrants from Southeast Asia has reconfigured national discourses on multiculturalism. Drawing on nationally representative data from the Taiwan Social Change Survey (2008– 2018), this study traces…
Ethnic identity of children from multicultural families in the Global South
This study explores the ethnic identity of Korean-Vietnamese adolescents in Vietnam, focusing on the role of multicultural family dynamics and broader societal factors. Interviews with 11 adolescents and seven parents show that despite being raised in Vietnam, many adolescents maintain strong Korean identity, influenced by the Korean immigrant community and transnational connections to South Korea. From Vietnam’s perspective, this trend signifies…
Saemaul Undong
Saemaul Undong, also called the New Village or Community Movement, was a community-based development programme promoted in the Republic of Korea during President Park’s regime in the 1970s. To reduce the urban-rural income gap in a relatively short period of time (the decade of the 1970s), it has brought unprecedented success, as seen in South Korea’s overall socioeconomic improvements and decrease of extreme poverty. Based on the movement’s cont…
The Limits of Primordial Affinity to Ethnic Trust
The creation of trusting relationships with coethnics is identified as a step towards refugee integration. However, coethnic trust has been considered primordial, and empirical explorations on restoring refugees’ capacities to trust their coethnics have remained limited. This study addresses the gap by considering in-group trust decisions as a situational product shaped by contextual conditions using social network data on North Korean refugees s…
Imago Dei and Human Rights
In this article, I examine the significance of the theological concept of Imago Dei for shaping social structures to protect the human rights of trafficked stateless women. My case study will consider North Korean stateless women who had been trafficked in China and who currently reside in South Korea. The victims lived as stateless persons during their stay in China. Even after their escape to and arrival in South Korea, they have continued to s…
Social integration and well‐being of North Korean migrants in South Korea
I examined the social integration and well‐being of North Korean migrants in South Korea, guided by a modified model of migrant integration that includes indicators of both systemic integration and value integration of North Korean migrants. The level of systemic integration was measured using indicators of employment, education, housing, and health. The level of value integration was measured using indicators of a sense of belonging, a sense of …
Korean Christian Students' Adaptation and Integration in British Society
1 This paper explores Korean Christian students' adaptation and integration process in Britain, and their identity formation and negotiation, primarily based on ethnographic research. Korean student migrants undergo peculiar types of challenges during their integration process and experience conflicts between previously obtained and newly formed identities. Their attendance of and involvement in either a Korean or a British church helps them to o…
Cosmopolitanism
In this article, I will examine the use of the notion of cosmopolitanism to address the exclusionary nature of citizenship. Citizenship is a contemporary social norm that privileges citizens and discriminates against others, leading to consequent human rights violations experienced by stateless populations. I will use the case study of North Korean stateless women who reside in China and who are victims of human trafficking as an example of state…
A Social Integration Model of North Korean Migrants and Their Current State of Integration
Acculturative stress as a mental health predictor of North Korean refugees in South Korea
South Korea is an emerging immigration destination where over half of the country’s immigrant population are ethnic return migrants. Thus far, little attention has been given to the effect of acculturation on the mental health of coethnic migrants in non-traditional immigration states such as South Korea. Using 2010 survey data on 1,200 North Korean refugees, this study examines the effect of preserving cultural norms and practices from the home …
Becoming a Vegetarian in Korea
This essay is a social psychological analysis of the meaning of and social pressures against vegetarianism in a highly collective cultural context. It postulates potential difficulties in social relationships as the real challenge in becoming a vegetarian in Korea. The research is based on data collected from participant observations and in-depth interviews conducted with 38 vegetarians in the Seoul metropolitan area in 2010– 2011. Given the soci…
Brain Circulation of South Korean Students in Japan and China
This article is based on an empirical comparative analysis of South Koreans studying at institutions of higher education in Japan and China. Focusing on the phenomenon of ‘regionalization of higher education,’ the study examines South Korean students' mobility within Asia and the transferability of human capital. Data for this study came from a larger survey of Asian students who were enrolled as international students in South Korea, Japan and C…
Migration and the Korean Diaspora
The international migration and settlement of Koreans began in 1860 and there are now about 6.8 million overseas Koreans in 170 countries. Each wave of Korean migration was driven by different historical factors in the homeland and the host countries, and hence the motivations and characteristics of Korean immigrants in each period were different. The diverse conditions in and government policies of the host countries also affected the mode of en…
Korean Development and Migration
Our introductory paper to this special issue of JEMS on Korean development and migration provides a sketch of internal migration in Korea, and international migration from and to that country. It positions these movements within the great transitions experienced by Korea over recent decades: the transition from an agricultural to an industrial and then a tertiary economy; the transition from a rural to an urban society; and the transition to low …
Forced Relocation, Language Use, and Ethnic Identity of Koreans in Central Asia
This article deals with the current situation of language use, ethnic identity, and ethnic relations of Koreans in Central Asia. The primary set of data for this study came from a sample survey of 1,302 Koreans in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Moscow, Sankt Perterburg, and Sakhalin done in July 1997 through March 1998. Raymond Breton's concept of institutional completeness proved to be useful in explaining the regional and temporal differences in the l…

Immigrant Small Business and International Economic Linkage
Immigrant Small Business and International Economic Linkage
This article investigates factors that have contributed to the growth of the import-export business among Asian immigrants. The central argument is that the development of Asian immigrants’ import-export business has been closely related to the increasing economic linkages between Asian countries and their countrymen in the United States. Such economic linkages are a product of the global economic restructuring whereby some developing countries o…

The growth of Korean immigrant entrepreneurship in Chicago
The growth of Korean immigrant entrepreneurship in Chicago is a product of three interacting factors: employment opportunities in the general labour market, resource mobilization, and business opportunity structures. Because of their language barrier and less transferable education and occupational skills in the American labour market, many Korean immigrants could not find white-collar occupations for which they had been trained. Disadvantaged, b…
The Changing Significance of Ethnic and Class Resources in Immigrant Businesses
Contemporary Korean immigrant businesses depart from the traditional patterns of immigrant businesses in two important respects. First, minority areas such as black neighborhoods are more important market places for Korean merchants than their own Korean community. Second, though ethnic solidarity and mutual cooperation among Koreans are still viable in Korean immigrant businesses, class interests and class resources are increasingly important as…
