This research will discuss the phenomenon of Islamophobia in South Korea using the concept of Islamophobia from The Runnymede Trust which identifies four main indicators of Islamophobic practices: discrimination, exclusion, violence, and prejudice. The research method used is a qualitative research method by collecting online documents including journals, websites, social media and films relevant to this research and analyzing them with a content analysis approach to find forms of Islamophobia in South Korea.
