NO! If you are Korean, then you are Asian. But not all Asians are Koreans.

Asia stretches from Turkey in the west to Japan in the East. Most of Russia lies within the Asian continent too. Israel, Syria, Jordan and other countries in the Middle East are part of Asia. As are the nations of the South Asian (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives etc) and South East Asia (Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines), and East Asia (China, N. Korea, S. Korea, Japan, Mongolia and Taiwan).

In popular N. American parlance, the term "Asian" has somehow come to refer exclusively to East Asians (and occasional S.E.Asians). In the U.K. however, the term "Asian" refers exclusively to South Asians.
