### Koreans in Papua New Guinea
Korean people in Papua New Guinea currently include late 20th- and early 21st-century immigrants, diplomats and Catholic Church missionaries. Current population numbers aren’t confirmed but are estimated to be in the hundreds.
World War II
During World War II, around 5,000 young Korean men were forcibly conscripted by Imperial Japan and sent to Papua New Guinea[1] during the New Guinea Campaign (1942–1945). These men fought alongside Japanese forces against the Allies. Tragically, approximately 3,500 lost their lives in the conflict. In 2002, the South Korean government erected a monument in Kovoy, Papua New Guinea, to honor their memory and console the souls of those who perished without justice or recognition.
