Note
Only the people take the plural. Korean as the name of the language is uncountable, and Korean as an adjective does not inflect, so Koreans always means persons and never the language or anything merely of Korea. Where a plural adjective might seem natural, the adjective stays bare: Korean speakers, Korean films, with no -s anywhere but on the noun for people.
