"I am a Korean" vs "I am Korean"
The question I am asking is not about grammar but of the subtle differences in meaning like between saying "I am Korean, and live in Seoul, Korea" and saying "I am a Korean living in Seoul, Korea." If you can give some examples to enlighten me on this topic, I'd appreciate it very much! Thanks!

0I have a small query.
Do you usually speak of your country as 'Korea', or do you ever say 'South Korea'?
