La pratique du christianisme en Corée tourne autour de deux de ses plus grandes branches, le protestantisme et le catholicisme, représentant respectivement 8,6 millions et 5,3 millions de membres. Le catholicisme romain a été introduit pour la première fois au cours de la période de la dynastie Joseon. En 1603, Yi Gwang-jeong, diplomate coréen, est revenu de Pékin avec plusieurs livres théologiques écrits par Matteo Ricci, missionnaire jésuite en Chine. Il a commencé à diffuser l'information dans les livres et les premières graines du christianisme ont été semées. En 1758, le roi Yeongjo de Joseon a officiellement interdit le catholicisme comme une pratique maléfique. Romain

The practice of Christianity in Korea revolves around two of its largest branches, Protestantism and Catholicism, accounting for 8.6 million and 5.3 million members respectively. Roman Catholicism was first introduced during the late Joseon Dynasty period. In 1603, Yi Gwang-jeong, Korean diplomat, returned from Beijing carrying several theological books written by Matteo Ricci, a Jesuit missionary to China. He began disseminating the information in the books and the first seeds of Christianity were sown. In 1758 King Yeongjo of Joseon officially outlawed Catholicism as an evil practice. Roman Catholicism was again introduced in 1785 by Yi Seung-hun. Korean Christians were subject to persecution and hardship. Many were martyred, especially during the Catholic Persecution of 1801 and later. The Joseon Dynasty saw the new religion as a subversive influence and persecuted its earliest followers in Korea, culminating in the Catholic Persecution of 1866, in which 8, 000 Catholics across the country were killed, including 9 French missionaries. The opening of Korea to the outside world in the following years brought religious toleration for the remaining Catholics and also introduced Protestantism. The first Presbyterian missionary in Korea, Horace Newton Allen, arrived in 1884 and remained in Korea until 1890, by which time he had been joined by many others.
