This study examines the educational and employment challenges of young Koryo Saram in South Korea. Using a mixed-methods approach, it identifies key barriers such as language proficiency, financial constraints, visa restrictions, and cultural adaptation. Despite their ethnic ties, many struggle with limited access to higher education and stable employment, often confined to low-wage jobs due to restrictive policies. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, including financial aid, specialized language training, and mentorship programs, to improve socio-economic integration. This study challenges the notion that shared ethnicity ensures seamless assimilation and calls for policy reforms to enhance institutional support for Koryo Saram youth.
