Shy, unassuming and pious.
Australia's "Little Korea" around Sydney's Eastwood, Strathfield and Campsie assumes some of the characteristics of South Koreans themselves.
But second generation Korean-Australians have clung to only two of those stereotypes: they are anything but shy.
Youtube pop stars Jayesslee are twin sisters Janice and Sonia Lee and have sprung from the introverted inner world of Australia's thriving Korean church community, to sell out shows around Asia.
While playing mostly covers in English, they ride high on the cultural cache of effervescent K-Pop, whose global popularity is only matched by the success of Korea's "Kollywood" film industry.
Like many Australians with a Korean background, they place church at the epicentre of their community.
"We consider Jayesslee as our mobile church, cause we go around sharing music, sharing our hearts about what the biggest passion of our life is, which is Jesus," 25-year-old Sonia said.
Their New Life Community Church in Rydalmere, which they describe as “charismatic Presbyterian”, is a successful English-language breakaway from the Korean language service, and regularly gets up to 500 young Korean-Australians people.
It's appeal can be likened to the Hillsong church, with it's enthusiastic pop rhythms and even eager youth following.
"Having found our identity in Christianity was a very, very huge security for us," Janice said.
There are hundreds of Korean churches in Australia's greater metropolitan areas - more than 150 in Sydney alone.
However, some Koreans say they attend church even if they are not especially religious, as the social and business contacts are a vital part of the perpetuation of Korean Australia.
