Abstract
Multiculturalism is one of the most popular academic topics in the Republic of Korea (henceforth "Korea") today, as many journal articles bear the word in their titles. However, the existence of many different definitions and interpretations of "multiculturalism" is the cause of serious confusion. In this paper, I attempt to find the characteristics of ethnic minorities in Korea, social incorporation policies of the Korean government, and the different usages of "multiculturalism" by leading scholars of migration and "multicultural" studies. I also assess the relevance of this concept to contemporary Korean society and Korea's immigration policies.
