The scientific article analyzes the specifics of socio-cultural relations between Korea and China at the present stage. The relations between China and Korea have both positive aspects that require development and obvious contradictions. In this regard, it is important to understand what specific factors determine the future prospects of their cooperation. The author concludes that although some political and historical issues have caused disputes and disagreements between South Korea and China, their socio-cultural relations at the present stage are dynamic and multidimensional. Both countries maintain diplomatic and economic relations, including trade, tourism, and cultural exchange. At the same time, they face challenges and obstacles, usually of a historical and political nature, which require mutual understanding and diplomatic settlement. Not only the strengthening of South Korea-China relations but also the overall stability of the Asian region depends on how successfully existing and emerging issues are resolved.
