Hard to say whether korean business can be pushed out. Korean business is more likely to thrive because of the chinese community. Not everyone wants to eat the same food everyday and chinese tend to have greater appreciation for korean culture/food. East asians tend to be a close knit group.
THose korean restaurants have about 1/3 of their customers being Chinese. They have signs and menus both in Korean and CHinese. But korean restuarants are too boring, all with the same menu, barbecue and toufu soup. That area needs more Sichuan and Shanghai restuanrants

Have you tried branching out from korean bbq and tofu spots? There are other things available in that area even when it comes to korean food.

I saw yelp reviews for a Colombian restaurant in Flushing and there were Asians commenting that they were happy to have somethinf besides Asian food available. Asian people, especially US born I'm guessing, like a wide array of food.

There was a Anthony Bourdain episode when a korean american talks about the best restaurant in Koreatown being Sizzler, because it was their chance for American food.

Yep! The kids who grow up there definitely aren't just about Chinese food or Asian food even if that's their background. Walk into Kanes which is an old diner on College Point and you'll see younger Asian people getting some pancakes and steak and eggs.

Yes that is not surprising, people from other countries and their children don't have the aversion to middle American stuff the way white yuppies do

Yes and you'll see them in every type of restaurant.
The Koreatown close to Broadway is quite neat too. There are always long lines of customers. Most of them are Koreans, but some are White and Chinese.
There are lots of authentic delicious food to eat in Korean restaurant other than tofu soup and BBQ. My favorites are Galbi Jjim (Braised Short Ribs) and Ojingeo Bokkeum (Spicy Stir Fried Squid).
