Where Are the Dark-Skinned Koreans Today?

You know, the further I go back in my research of history, the more questions I have. 

The further I research familiar & strange lands, the darker its inhabitants get as you go back in time. 

I realize, that I know absolutely nothing about our world. 

All of the images in this post are circa 1895 – 1902. The latest being an est. 1935. That was barely 100 years ago. Where have these people gone?

I have way more questions than answers at this point, but I guess a great way to start a positive discussion surrounding this subject would be to pose a simple question: 

Where did all of the dark-skinned inhabitants of the Old Kingdom of Corea, Land of the Morning Calm go? 

Where are they now, and who currently stands in their place?
