This chapter introduces newer-generation Korean New Zealanders—1.5- and second-generation youth who grew up in New Zealand from the 1990s—as part of the global “new second generation.” It situates their experiences within New Zealand’s shifting immigration policies, emerging multiculturalism, and enduring biculturalism in a Pākehā-dominated society. After outlining Korean migration history and first-generation adaptation, the chapter explores the identity journeys of their children, who often seek assimilation but later reconnect with Korean heritage through re-ethnicization. Influenced by digital media, transnational ties, and Korean pop culture (Hallyu), this shift challenges linear assimilation models. The chapter presents four guiding research questions on identity, agency, racism, and acculturation, establishing the analytical foundation for understanding how these youth navigate belonging in a diverse yet hierarchical society.
