Pescorea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pescorea is the name given to the immigrant community from the Korean Peninsula settled in the city of Pesquería, in the Mexican state of Nuevo León.[1][2] The term is therefore a portmanteau for the name of this town and the peninsula. These Korean immigrants generally come from South Korea.[3][4][5]
Thousands of Korean immigrants who arrived in Mexico have established everything from homes to businesses in Pesquería and other cities in Nuevo León, giving rise to a greater influence of the "Pescorea" phenomenon, as well as a cultural exchange between both countries.[6] As of 2020, the population of the municipality is 147,624 inhabitants,[7] which represents a growth of 608% compared to 2010.[8]
