Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) South Korea Chapter

SOAR South Korea was established in May 2015. After Tokyo, New York, and Los Angeles, Seoul has the world’s largest metropolitan economy, with a GDP of over $630 billion with global headquarters of 15 Fortune Global 500 companies. Since diplomatic relations between South Korea and Armenia were first established in 1992, Armenians have been traveling to the capital city for work and study. The Armenian community in South Korea is a small, tight-knit, and relatively recent diaspora population, primarily composed of fewer than professionals and students. The community is estimated to be less than 100 people, most of whom reside in Seoul and Suwon.
