Category:Korean violinists

This category is for violinists holding the nationality of undivided Korea. In general this means people who played violin during Korea under Japanese rule (1910–1945), the Korean Empire (1897–1910), the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897), or preceding time periods.

People of the Korean peninsula who played violin after 1948 normally do not belong in this category, but should be placed in the subcategories Category:North Korean violinists or Category:South Korean violinists based on their nationality, place of origin, or place of residence. However, Korean people living abroad who never had any national affiliation with either North or South Korea (such as Koreans in Japan who never declared a change of nationality from Chōsen-seki), or whose nationality is not publicly known, should remain in this category. Common sense should be used to determine whether people who played violin between 1945 to 1948 belong in this category rather than North or South Korean subcategories.
