Abstract: In today's globalized world, issues of intercultural communication are becoming increasingly significant, particularly for immigrants who face adaptation in new cultural environments. This research focuses on the analysis of cultural differences and their impact on the process of intercultural communication among immigrants from Ukraine and CIS countries in South Korea. The study emphasizes key aspects of cultural interaction, such as language barriers, differences in social norms and traditions, as well as perceptions of cultural identity. The research is based on methods of interviewing, surveying, and data analysis collected from representatives of the Ukrainian and Russian-speaking diaspora living in Korea. Special attention is given to the specifics of Korean culture, including Confucian values, collectivism, and hierarchy, as well as how these elements influence immigrants' adaptation and communication strategies. New statistics focuses on the crime situation among immigrants from Ukraine and CIS countries in South Korea from 2020 to 2024. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of migrants from these regions, raising interest in their social integration and legal issues. The research covers the main types of crimes committed by these immigrants, as well as the factors contributing to criminal behavior, such as economic conditions, cultural differences, and the level of social support.
