Little Seoul
For Koreatowns in general, see Koreatown.
Little Seoul (also referred to as the Korean District or the Korean Business District on nearby street signage) is a Koreatown on Garden Grove Boulevard between Beach Boulevard (Route 39) and Brookhurst Street in Garden Grove, Orange County, California. The Korean population in Orange County more than doubled between 1990 and 2010.[1]
It is also the name of a neighborhood in the fictional Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V, which is based heavily on the real Koreatown, Los Angeles.
