Koryo-saram and Sakhalin Koreans are ethnic Koreans living in the post-Soviet countries.
This paper tries to clarify the terminology regarding these ethnic Koreans in the post-Soviet
countries through the diaspora theory, and analyze them further with the concept of the
‘Korean diaspora’ and ‘the place of diaspora’. The research took Small-N comparison and
case study method by reviewing Korean, Russian, and English literature. By analysing the
Soviet Korean diaspora through ‘homeland-host country-international society’ framework
with political, economic and social aspects, ‘the place of diaspora’ is visualised.
