Koryo Saram: Ethnic Koreans in Central Asia trace their roots

Ethnic Koreans in Central Asia are also known as the Koryo Saram. Their ancestors left Korea for Russia's Far East in search of a better life in the early 20th century. They were later forcibly deported to Central Asia in 1937 during the rule of Joseph Stalin. In the first of a three-part series, CNA meets a Koryo Saram family in Kazakhstan. Today, there are an estimated 500,000 Koryo Saram scattered across several former soviet union states.
