A society with diverse races or nationalities does not mean that it has various cultures. When various ethnic groups make their own communities and secure the identities of them, a multicultural society can be formed. Therefore, the South Korean society cannot be called as a multicultural society because diverse ethnic communities do not coexist. Consequently, it is useless to discuss the multiculturalism in South Korea, which is a single race nation and a multiethnic society. Another misconception is that multiculturalism cannot be compatible with the ethnic culture. The multiculturalism started from the coexistence of multiracial cultures. Therefore, if each ethnic group does not have the culture identity of it, the multiracial culture will not be able to exist and the multiculturalism will lose the foundation of its existence. Consequently, the multiculturalism means that all ethnical cultures are treated equally and their identities and the cultural diversity are accepted, while various ethnical groups have their own cultural identities. To put it simply, we have to establish the identity of the South Korean culture before we advocate the multiculturalism at the present stage of South Korean society. Afterward, we can make a multiracial society as a next step. If South Korea wants to move to a multiracial society, a foreigner should live in his or her ethnic group and enjoy an own community culture. If so, many ethnical societies will be made and the identity of each ethnical group will be revived. Therefore, group residences should be provided for foreigners to form ethnical communities. Furthermore, legal and systematic supports should be provided so their cultures are used in their communities. The values of multiculturalism should not be the only value to form a healthy multiracial society. The values must be established that the racial diversity and the cultural diversity will make the future country healthy.
