Koreans in Hong Kong formed a population of 13,288 individuals as of 2011, a mid-range size compared to Korean diaspora populations in other cities in China and Southeast Asia.[3]

According to the 2021 population census in Hong Kong, there are 8,700 Koreans living in Hong Kong, plenty of them living in Eastern District and Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island.[4]

Since the Korean International School of Hong Kong is located in Sai Wan Ho, children of most Korean families living in Hong Kong will attend this school. Therefore, many Koreans live in Sai Wan Ho and Taikoo Shing area, forming a Korean community. [5]
