Columbus is home to the second-largest Korean population in Georgia. Over 2,200 Korean residents call Columbus home, including Korean-American soldiers and military families stationed at Fort Benning, as well as faculty and students at Columbus State University. Small businesses and major Korean firms alike have invested in Columbus, becoming an integral part of its community.
Fostering Cultural and Economic Ties Between Two Nations
Major Korean investment continues to flow into the city, bringing new employees and their families along with it. The Korean Institute at Columbus State collaborates with the community to facilitate cultural exchanges and make the area more appealing to incoming Korean families and professionals. With the Korean Institute’s help, Columbus has also entered into a sister-city partnership with the South Korean city of Jinju, further cementing the symbiotic relationship between these two cultures.
