}}{{Ethnic Singapore sidebar}}Koreans in Singapore consist mainly of South Korean expatriates. The community formed a population of 19,450 individuals {{as of|2015|lc=on}}, according to the South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, making them the world's 17th-largest Korean diaspora community.[1] Their population has grown by about 60% since 2007.[4]

History

There is evidence of Koreans living in Singapore as early as the 1930s, when their homeland was under Japanese rule. A few Koreans are buried in the pre-World War II cemetery of Singapore's Japanese community.[5]

In the early 2000s, a variety of factors attracted South Korean migration to Singapore, including education, low taxes, and the ease of obtaining permanent residency status.[6] In 2006, the number of Koreans purchasing Singapore real estate jumped by 132% compared to 2005, with many purchasing as owner-occupiers as well as for investment purposes.[7] Following the increase in the Korean population, the number of restaurants and retailers aimed at the community is on the rise, and now includes two ddeok shops.[8][9] South Korea's Andong General Hospital and Singapore's Gleneagles Hospital established a clinic aimed at Koreans in Singapore as well as those living in Malaysia; initially staffed by a single Andong doctor assisted by a number of Korean-speaking attendants, the clinic cost SG$200,000 to set up.[10]

Kim Jong-nam, the eldest son of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, moved to Singapore in 2012 after fleeing Macau, and other high ranking North Koreans visit Singapore frequently to receive health care or to purchase luxury goods unavailable in their home country. North Korean defectors state that this relationship is the reason why the official Korean Central News Agency referred to Singaporean leader Lee Kuan Yew as an "intimate friend" of North Korea.[11] The Singaporean organisation Choson Exchange has also arranged for North Korean university students to obtain business internships in Singapore; under their auspices, two men and three women between the ages of 25 and 39 spent a month working at a business incubator in Singapore in 2013.[12]

Education

Singapore's only school for Korean nationals, the Singapore Korean School, was established on 17 February 1993; {{as of| 2005}}, it had 15 teachers and enrolled 100 students at the elementary school level. It conducts roughly two-thirds of its class hours in Korean, and one-third in English.[13] Its associated weekend school, opened at the same time, enrolled a total of 261 students at the elementary and middle school levels.[14] Despite the challenge they face from the local school system, the Korean International School still projects rising student numbers, and in 2010 plans to{{Update after|2012|12|2}} move to a new campus with room for 500 students, five times as many as their current facilities.[16]

Many Korean students bypass the Korean International School entirely in order to take advantage of English-medium education at government or non-Korean international schools. Singapore has become a popular destination for South Korean students and their parents, who see it as an ideal place to learn both English and Chinese, the two most popular foreign languages in South Korea.[15][16] The Singapore Tourism Board began actively marketing Singaporean education to South Koreans in 2005; they form one of the larger sources of international students, along with other Asian countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam.[17] By 2008, Singaporean schools enrolled an estimated 6,500 Korean students.[18] In many cases, mothers come to Singapore with their young school-age children, while the bread-winning father remains behind in South Korea and sends money to support them.[17]
