I know there are ethnic Koreans that live in Uzbekistan. I actually know some who were born in Tashkent, Uzbek, but now live in the U.S. During World War II the ethnic Koreans in the former Soviet Union lived in places like Sakhalin Island north of Japan and places closer to the China and Korean borders. Joseph Stalin was worried that the ethnic Koreans would collaborate with the Japanese during World War II thus he had them moved to Central Asia- like Uzbekistan which used to be part of the former Soviet Union. Thus, I believe the interaction with ethnic Koreans and Uzbek perhaps may have contributed to a higher level of comfort or respect for each other.
I know there are close ties between Korea and Uzbekistan in economical matters, for example Korean Air Cargo uses Navoi as their cargo hub and there is cooperation in several sectors between the two countries.
But when I was in Uzbekistan I did not met any Korean or found any evidence of a major Korean population there. However, a very nice country worth visiting.
Who said Personally I'm against seeing my pictures and statues in the streets, but it's what the people want
