Auckland Korean Choir
With the visual allure of a Christmas card, the performers of the Auckland Korean Choir regaled with voice a captive crowd and hurried passengers at the Waitematā Britomart Train Station located in Auckland city centre.
In 1986, there were only 426 Koreans in New Zealand. The Korean population in New Zealand has been affected by New Zealand's immigration policies. Until a policy change in 1987, preference was given to English-speaking migrants, especially those from Commonwealth of Nations countries. In 1991, a new policy took effect in which potential migrants were ranked according to a points system based on factors such as education, occupation, and wealth. This made it far easier for people from Korea and other Asian countries to migrate to New Zealand, dramatically increasing the number of Korean New Zealanders.
The 2018 New Zealand census found 35,664 Koreans in the country, virtually all from South Korea, making them the fourth-largest Asian population there, and more than 0.75 percent of the total population of New Zealand.
70% of Koreans in New Zealand identify as Christians.1
Lastly, I have no idea what the fellow behind the choir on the right-hand side might be capturing with his camera.
