The purpose of this study is to investigate how bilingualism of immigrants in Korea influence their adaptation to Korean society. In addition, this study is going to check whether bilingual speakers are willing to maintain their language proficiency or pass them to their children, and it will also pay attention to what the causes would be if one gives up speaking or transferring bilingual usage in Korean society. The study could find out the following: First, the perception of bilingual and culture is different by countries of origin; Second, target learners’ perceptions of bilingual and culture depend on period they lived in Korea. In conclusion, this study affirms that the perspectives of Korean society about diverse cultures and mutilingualism have a negative impact on linguistic proficiency of multicultural individuals residing in Korea. Multilingual speakers’ taking a passive attitude on their multilingual ability means a grave disadvantage at not only an individual level but also societal and even national levels. Therefore, this study suggests that we should create a social atmosphere to acknowledge multilingual abilities of minority members.
