Abstract: Currently, there are about 2.5 million Korean-Americans living in the United States, and this year marks 116 years in the history of Korean immigrants to the United States. Until now, 'Korean American' has been used as a term to refer to Korean-Americans, but the generational crossover of Korean American society, the increase in the number of mixed-race children due to first- and second-generation marriages with other races/ethnicities, For reasons such as increase, 'Korean American' is becoming more diversified racially/ethnically and generationally. Therefore, in this study, it was necessary to consider the definition and connotation of the term 'Korean American', so the definition and connotation of the term was explored inductively using interviews and questionnaires targeting them. It is thought that the definition of this concept can be used as basic data not only for studies related to Korean Americans but also for overseas Koreans policy.
