They are mostly from Gyeongsang Province. At that time, many of the people who were taken to Sakhalin by the Japanese army were from Gyeongsangnam-do. They are not North Koreans. Gyeongsang-do is a region located in the southeast of South Korea. Here, Japanese soldiers dragged many Koreans onto ships and forced them to work in Sakhalin. They could not return to their homeland and had to stay in Sakhalin.

Sakhalin Koreans every time forget to tell about their true history. Many of them were of Japan side. And fighted together with Germany Italy and Japan. And every time they forget that only Goryeo saram fighted in the second world war and only Goryeo Koreans fighted against Japan for Freedom of Korea. What did Sakhalin Koreans at that time? Many of them also went to Sakhalin to earn money as they wished not by force. And actually Japan gave money to Korea and Sakhalin Koreans could come back. American Koreans much closer to Korea than Sakhalin Koreans even them say nothing about Korean citizenship. Sakhalin Koreans every time cry and ask about that. What a shame. They did nothing for their freedom they did nothing for ussr they did nothing for Korea and only complain complain and complain. And moreover unlike Goryeo Koreans only Sakhalin Koreans have much more mix families. Many Sakhalin Koreans had Japanese names and when Goryeo Koreans asked thier names they kept saying Japanese names. Goryeo Koreans were in shock to hear that. Cause of Goryeo Koreans they officially changed Japanese names to Koreans names again. And moreover most of Goryeo Koreans did knew nothing about Sakhalin Koreans until they came to Korea. Only Sakhalin Koreans talk and talk and talk about Goryeo Koreans. Goryeo Koreans don't think about them at all.

@@addixted99, if you can understand it already, I think it will be quite easy for you. All it needs is someone to practice. Someone from outside the family, since they tease you. That's sad that you end up not being able to do it with your family. I can understand siblings to tease, but parents... they should give the example and try to make your siblings stop from teasing you. It feels like they don't really care to communicate with their youngest child. Anyway, but you can easily find conversational classes, it will have someone to help you to improve your speech and correct your accent. If you don't tell them about the classes, who knows? Maybe someday you can surprise them, showing that by your own will and without their help you manage to improve your skills. It will make you stronger and more confident. I wish you the best!

It's important to point out the injustice of the Sakhalin Koreans. But, Korea is pretty open to all the ethnic Koreans during that time period. If you can prove your Korean heritage, you can get permanent residency. The citizenship seems to be a bit harder needing paperwork from a Korean born in Korea.

Let me tell you the difference between Koryeo-Korean and Sakhalin-Korean people. Koryeo-Korean - Descendants of Korean independence fighters who fought against the Japanese army during the Japanese colonial period. And they were forcibly relocated to Central Asia and Russia by Stalin. Now we call them Koryo-saram Sakhalin-Korean - This refers to people who were forcibly moved to Sakhalin by the Japanese soldiers during the Japanese colonial period and worked there. The descendants of those who could not return to their homeland are the current Sakhalin Koreans.

@alva--._..l-._.-l.._.-- 2 ай бұрын

From the video, it didn't sound they were forcibly moved to Sakhalin. It seemed that they moved there on their own to escape the Japanese during the occupancy time and the war. Due to that, Russia didn't allow them to have Russian citizenship. Or was it both scenarios? Maybe I didn't get that right...

@de-stressmusic432 2 ай бұрын

You have already commented this in 3 different places talking about Sakhalin Koreans in negative light. Educate yourself properly on a subject of history of both people. Do not just look at it from a lens of single side. First of all, all men in USSR had to participate in a World War 2 regardless of race. Therefore calling Goryeo as freedom fighters is a little bit of a stretch, since everybody had a will to fight in order to defend Nazi's Germany, Japan and Italy. Second of all, most of them what now are Goryeo people were forcefully moved to Central Asia by Stalin in 1937, due to his fear of Koreans being Japanese spies. They were sent in horrible conditions in trains all across Central Asia. The rest of them moved themselves when Korea was united way before World War 2 and they spread across the Russia. As a descendant of Sakhalin Korean, my mother's family was forced to a labor camp by Japanese and her brother was taken by Japanese in South Korea and was never seen after. This was both according to my mother and to a government documents that were retrieved years later from South Korea (a record proving my mother's family tree by South Korean government). In fact, her brother survived (stayed in South Korea) and had a family we could connect with half a century later. A very small portion of Sakhalin Koreans had to work for Japan, mostly as translators. My family and many families I know have only 1 generational gap between South Koreans and Sakhalin Koreans. My grandparents on both sides didn't speak a lick of Russian, only Korean. Most of the South Korean traditions such as 제사 shown in a video were presumed. I never knew about Goryeo people until I started living in Central Asia myself. Believe me, nobody talks about Goryeo people in Sakhalin and vice-versa. I had many Goryeo friends and I personally know their families. All of them had a huge generational gap in terms of time they moved first from Korea. They lost track to the point where they weren't sure whether their descendants were from what now is South or North part of Korea. Not a single personal I've met from Goryeo people could track a last relative that was truly Korean, even though the gap between Sakhalin people weren't that big. All of the Goryeo people, I've met and knew, had the same weird names for Korean food such as Tiay (for 된장), pigodi (for 찐빵) and etc. Not only that but a part of them have last names that do not exist in South Korea as of now. This might point to the fact that a majority of them were sent from what now is North Korea, since this part of peninsula is connected directly to Russia and China. From my personal experience, most of Goryeo people assimilated in Central Asia to the point where there's barely any Korean traditions left, except a somewhat similar food (2-3 items at best) with different names. On the other hand, Sakhalin descendants, while assimilated in Russia, still kept most of the Korean traditions and customs. My mother and many people of her generation speak Korean as they learned it from their parents who were South Koreans. While most of the Sakhalin Koreans know what part of Korea province they are from and speak the language, most of Gyryeo people are at a point of not being able to track their last truly Korean relative and do not speak a single word of Korean. This isn't a hate comment towards Goryeo Korean to disapprove anything. This is just to point out that majority of Goryeo Koreans are very distant from Korea in all aspects and they can be simply considered as people of Central Asia. While generational gap isn't big, many of them assimilated to the point where there's barely any Korean (traditions and customs) left. South Korea as a country, itself, recognizes that Sakhalin Koreans are much closer to Korea and were direct descendants of South Koreans. There is a reason why they are so many government programs to return and get benefits solely for Sakhalin Koreans in South Korea. And yes, Korean Americans are way closer to Korea than any Sakhalin or Goryeo people, because they're direct descendants of South Koreans and can simply be considered South Koreans. 100% of their customs and traditions are the same and were never absent, especially considering there's 1 million Koreans just in Korean Town in LA and many more across U.S. To prove my point further to a lot of possible hate comments, you can simple ask a Goryeo person who have never been to Korea about things such as 된장, 깍두기, 제사, 간장, 고추장, 환갑, 설날, 추석. I promise you that all of these words related to South Korea will be unknown or unfamiliar to a Goryeo person. In fact, many of them will be heard for the first time.
