It is estimated that roughly 1-5 million people, including military personnel and civilians, died during the Korean War from 1950-1953. However, official government records of confirmed deaths are, of course, much lower. Getting an accurate number is quite challenging as the remains of many civilians and military personnel are still missing. According to research published in 2020 by Statista, confirmed military deaths include 137,899 South Korean, 520,000 North Korean, 116,000 Chinese and 40,670 United Nations soldiers.
