This article analyzes the cultural identification and daily life strategies of Uzbek migrants residing in the Republic of Korea within the contexts of labor, educational, and marriage migration, based on a transnational approach. The study considers migration not as separate and isolated forms, but as an interconnected, socially fluid, and mutually reinforcing transnational migration system. The research highlights Uzbek migrants’ labor relations, strategies of social mobility through education, transformations of gender and family relations within marriage migration, as well as the impact of language, religion, and everyday practices on cultural identification.
