Up until very recently, scholars tended to focus on studying the Korean communities in Japan and the United States (US). However, the number of Korean people living in other regions, in particular Asian countries, has been increasing due to Asia’s rapid economic development. Studies of Koreans in China tend to focus on the Korean people living in Northeast China, in particular the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. However, we see the number of Korean people living in other parts of China increasing, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau (Waegyobu [Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea] 2011, p. 53). Hong Kong and Macau have attracted the attention of Korean people in recent years, with the number of Korean people living in these locations increasing annually. This paper examines the Korean communities in Hong Kong and Macau, including the historical relationships between Hong Kong, Macau and Korea, the formation and present situation of the Korean communities in Hong Kong and Macau, their language use, and reasons and prospects of Korean nationals living in these two places. For the research methodology of this project, we use primary sources, such as official documents from the Japanese and South Korean governments, in order to understand the historical development of Korean communities in Hong Kong and Macau and the relationships between the three places. We also conduct interviews with Korean people living in Hong Kong and Macau in order to understand their language use and their daily lives. At the end, we try to examine the vision and future of Korean communities in the two places.
