As the era of migration has come, immigrants is rapidly increasing in Korea. In 2014, the number of the foreigners who are staying in Korea is already more than 1.6 million. It indicates that Korea is rapidly becoming a multicultural and multiethnic society. As foreign residents in Korea continue to increase, racial, ethnic and cultural diversity will increase in the future. So, how the diversity integrate will emerge as an important national task. In this context, the study analyzes social integration policy from the view of object of policy through conducting a survey targeting Chinese in Korea. In other words, it tries to find out what the problems are by investigating immigrant's policy satisfaction and demand on social integration policy. According to the results of the research, immigrants are experiencing difficulties by discrimination and prejudice in the process of adaptation to Korean society and the level of satisfaction on social integration policy appeared to be low. Moreover, the current social integration policy has been promoted uniformly, starting at the national interests but overlooking the immigrant's demand. Based on these findings, the study shows the new policy directions such as promoting customized social integration policy, expanding political participation of immigrant, guarantee of social equality of immigrant through the provision of laws and system, driving civic education and training professionals for social integration, etc.
