Koreans in Paraguay formed one of the earliest Korean diaspora communities in Latin America. However, they were always overshadowed by the larger Korean communities in neighbouring Brazil and Argentina and since the late 1990s, their population has fallen significantly.
They likely migrated to the Korean Peninsula from as far away as Siberia. Korean is the language of South Korea and is spoken by as many as 80 million people worldwide, including a small minority in Paraguay, South America. The first ethnic Koreans came to Paraguay and Argentina in 1865.
