Of countries Koreans voluntarily moved to in recent years, the United States is far and away the #1 choice. This makes sense as the U.S. has the most powerful economy and is by far the richest country on earth. America has the most opportunities for the smartest, most ambitious people. There is no contest. That's why educated people from all over the world want to even leave their way of life and their family and friends to relocate to come here. As long as you are relatively intelligent and a go-getter, there is a lot of money to be made in this land of opportunity.

I left because I just don't want to waste my life away working all the time (and of course I really wanted to find a girlfriend).

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us.

Actually, wikipedia has numerous articles titled "Koreans in [whatever country]" with lots of details.

Paraguay, for example: "The first Korean immigrants to Paraguay came from Busan on a two-month journey by sea to Buenos Aires and then overland to Asunci�n, finally arriving on 22 April 1965...
The early Korean migrants who settled in Paraguay engaged in a variety of agricultural and commercial work, including beekeeping and door-to-door sales of imported clothing. By the early 1980s, many were involved in importing consumer electronics as well. Some also opened convenience stores in poorer neighbourhoods; they gained attention for remaining open through the siesta, unlike many of their competitors. The second generation have largely moved away from manual labour or small retail business, and entered into the liberal professions, such as medicine, law, pharmacy, architecture, and accountancy."

Note the resourcefulness & upward mobility. I'd guess thats a pattern repeated in various countries.

There have been Koreans in Ukraine for a longer time. Hundreds of thousands living in eastern Russia got deported to Central Asia during the Japanese occupation & some of them made their way there. Also, Hyundai opened a big car manufacturing plant there 3 years ago.
