Do you say, "I'm a Korean" or "I'm Korean" which is correct?
  

Top answer

They are both correct because Korean can be both a noun and an adjective. This isn't at all always the case with such words. For example: I'm a Finn.

I'm a Finn. / I'm Finnish.
I'm a Swede. / I'm Swedish.
I'm a Spaniard. / I'm Spanish.

But:

I'm a European. / I'm European.
I'm an Italian. / I'm Italian.
I'm an American. /
