Abstract
Unprecedented in its history, Korea has had the highest number of refugees and asylum seekers in the last few years from war-torn Middle Eastern countries such as Yemen. The high influx of the Yemeni refugees into Korea has triggered a number of sociopolitical debates about their status as refugees and asylum seekers. Within the broader critical discourse analytic framework of research on the production of racist and xenophobic discourse in the form of public communication, the present article examines discursive features of Korean newspaper articles in expressing public opinions on immigrants to Korea, and argues that a large number of news reports function to create, maintain, and transmit the dominant ideological voice of those who have power and access to public forms of communication.
