   The current genetic foundation of Koreans have been establishedthrough an admixture with ancient Southern Chinese populations associated withIron Age Cambodians. 

   This admixing trend initially occurred outside the Korean peninsula followed soon by continuous spread and localization in Korea,corresponding to the general admixture trend of East Asia. Over 70% of extant Korean diversity is explainedto be derived from such a population expansion and admixture from the Southoccurred around 5,000 years ago.
