This paper explores the present condition and social network of the Turkish immigrant Muslims in Korean society. Turkish and Iranian peoples as non Arap Muslims have been coming since the beginning of 1990s when many Korean workers joined labor movement for increasing their wages in Korea. Turkish Peoples are smaller than Iranian peoples in number. But it is very difficult to meet and interview Iranians because they as Shia Muslims are not attend the worship in Mosque or Masjid in Seuol and Kyeonggi Province. Shia Musllims who are minority do not come together regularly. Thus, this paper focused on the present condition and social network of the Turkish immigrant Muslims In the second chapter, the immigrtion situation and the present condition of the Turkish and Iranian Immigrant Muslims are discussed. In the third chapter, research methods are explained. Survey paper and interview are important methods in this research. From the fourth to seventh chapter, the type of Turkish immigrant, legal status and purpose, adaptation and economic life, and social network of Turkish immigrant are analyzed. The questions of survey mainly consist of the background of immigration, the life and occupation, social network of the Turkish immigrant in Korea, and personal career. About 700 Turkish immigrants are living in Seoul and Kyeonggi Province. According to their occupations, residential districts are different. Many Turkish students and businessman generally are staying in Seoul, but labor workers are mostly staying in the northern part of Kyeonggi Province in which many small and medium-sized manufacturers are situated. The main purpose of labor workers is continuously working and getting salary in small and medium-sized manufacturers after finding their jobs. Contrary to the purpose of labor workers, the purpose of student is taking diploma from university at which they are studying to move into elite society in their country or Korea. Turkish labor workers and students who are majority generally have a good network with Koreans and Turkish peoples.
