The Korean government has implemented many multicultural policies in the recent years in order to support marriage immigrants. However, most of the programs designed to them basically help the immigrants’ daily living. In addition, the programs are usually conducted on the spot such as the Multicultural Family Support Centers in the neighborhood. Thus, the immigrants with low income, who are likely to be forced to enter a job market, hardly make access to the centers in time of need. Consequently, 1 out of 3 marriage immigrants appeared that they have never gotten services at the centers. With this economic disadvantage, some Korean spouses hesitate to help their wife or husband adapt to Korean society sooner than they expect. This reluctance results from purchasing marriages, which may require substantial amount of time to build a mutual trust. In this context, multicultural support programs focused on marriage immigrants should develop online that provides more direct and easy way to approach information as well as offline programs. This study suggests that foreign language-based apps can help immigrants acquire knowledge and information to live an independent life in Korea.
