This qualitative case study aims to reveals the foreign migrant workers’ experiences in their Korean
lives, with the research questions about what they have been experiencing and how they have adapted in
workplace and ordinary lives of Korea. The research participants have immigrated into Korea with dream
and expectations that they had imagined through drama and movies in their own countries. While having
worked and lived in Korea, they recognized the fact that their tangible reality that they could get in Korea
is only money, and realized the gap between drama and reality. The temporality of stay conditions for
them have immobilized their status in workshops and destabilized their working motivation as well as the
bases of their lives. Their lives in Korean began with the hope of coming to Korea, and have been ending
at the marina of comfort, earning money that was the original goal, through experience of discrimination
and exclusion. The Korean society, which has provided them with the experience of hope, discrimination, money and exclusion, now needs to be prepared to them the experience of friendship and inclusion.
