This study poses on the whole view toward multiculture being formed in Korea by virtue of approaching to music culture of migrants. My previous study(2003) have discussed over music culture of migrant worker, the main factor causing social issue of multiculture in Korea. At present Korean culture as well as society are required to strive a more active scheme for multicuture society because of migrants being rapidly increased like 7% of the whole population of Korea. Accordingly it is intended in this follow-up study that the present state and music culture of migrants in Korea provide Korean society and culture of these days with a deeper prospect.
The term, migrant, means multinational people migrated from outside of Korea, but mainly indicates those from the third countries by bounds of consciousness of Korean society. Multinational migrants in Korea have largely consisted of migrant workers, female migrants by international marriage, their kids, and refugees. Most of migrants is of migrant worker. It should be pointed here that migrants are on the state of social minority in Korea. Human rights of migrants and systematical provisions are urgently required to be improved, and policies and scheme of Korean government are not further than Koreanized female migrants by international marriage.
Multinational cultures are to be formed by migrant worker\'s community whose solidarity is music culture. Music culture of most migrant\'s countries is directly related to national, racial, regional, and personal identities. Moreover, considering their cultural background and tradition, music culture is no other than migrant\'s identity condensed by traditional custom, ethics, aspects of fact(in religion or culture). Consequently the discussion of this study over music culture of migrants cannot be limited only to music or culture, rather leans its axis upon the present social condition and way to make their culture in Korea. That is to say, examining over making culture of migrants through music culture contains the significant view in order to grasp and understand how they are aware of and keep the own identity, whose progress could be linked to that of forming multiculture in Korea.
Migrants stay as social minority as well as the weak in Korean society, and the essential reason to organize their own community through music culture has been caused by having cognizance of its own identity. Migrant\'s stability in social condition and human right for participating and keeping migrant\'s culture community must be ensured so as for migrant\'s culture to be set in Korea\'s multicuture. Cognition and recognition identity of migrants by Korea society as well as migrants themselves would be pinpointed at a starting spot so that Korean society can make further steps toward multiculture society of Korea with an upright way.
