Hometown Village (Korean: 고향마을; Hanja: 故鄕마을; RR: Gohyang Maeul; Russian: Кохян Маыль) is a community of eight apartment buildings and enclave of Sakhalin Koreans at 39 Yonghagongwon-ro, Sangnok District, Ansan, South Korea.

The USSR allowed for the repatriation of Sakhalin Koreans to communist North Korea, but those who were from the South found themselves behind the Asian Iron Curtain.

Moreover, the Soviet government was not keen on returning the Koreans home, as the Sakhalin island needed a labor force.

As the returnees to South Korea were mostly elderly, accommodations needed to be prepared that provided the function of nursing homes or retirement communities.

[3]Housing was provided on a 50-year public lease[6] free-of-charge, and support systems were developed to help navigate South Korean society.

[9] There are spaces for playing mahjong, the Russian tile game lotto, table tennis, and for karaoke.

[10] Some find the experience bittersweet, knowing that by the time the repatriation occurred (beginning around 50 years after Korea was liberated in 1945), many first-generation Sakhalin Koreans had died without ever seeing their homeland again.

[10] The separation between residents and those who remain back in Sakhalin has caused emotional stress,[10][8] which was intensified by travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[8][3] While relatives can fly to South Korea to visit, this process is considered too expensive to afford to do frequently.
