This chapter explores the paradox of structural integration without affective belonging among newer-generation Korean New Zealanders. Despite success in education, careers, and citizenship, many feel emotionally disconnected from New Zealand’s cultural narratives, traditions, and national identity. Participants describe feeling “more Korean” in New Zealand but “less Korean” in Korea, highlighting the tensions of transnational identity. Korea offers cultural grounding, yet its competitive lifestyle contrasts with New Zealand’s relaxed environment. The chapter also examines emerging cross-ethnic solidarity, with participants identifying more as “Asian Kiwis” than aligning with assimilationist or separatist co-ethnics. Shared experiences of racism and cultural negotiation foster a pan-ethnic sense of belonging. These findings challenge linear models of integration and underscore the hybrid, fluid nature of identity in multicultural societies.
