South Korea Survey Reveals Foreign Discrimination Rates
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism released the 2025 Survey on Korean Attitudes and Values on Tuesday, polling 6,180 respondents including a separate sample of foreign residents. It found 43.7% of foreign residents experienced discrimination (78% did not file complaints), 55.9% reported being generally happy, and the survey noted growing multicultural acceptance, widespread generative-AI use (55.2%), and plans to make the survey annual from 2026.
