As most of our readers are aware, over 31,000 North Korean refugees have arrived in South Korea since the 1953 Armistice. Most still reside in the ROK, but a number of refugees, upon their arrival to South Korea, choose to move to third countries.
As a result, there are small but noticeable communities of North Korean refugees who live in the countries of the developed West, with the UK, Canada, the U.S., and Australia being typically the most common.
