This study analyzed the Food Neophobia Scale (FNS) and Korean food perception status of Southeast Asian workers living in South Korea in order to build up basic data to develop a desirable diet program. From our study, we found that FNS was higher in the order of Cambodian, Myanmar, Vietnamese, and Thai workers. Influential demographic factors for FNS were cooking possibility and place of residence. The mean scores of Cambodian workers (3.46±0.63) regarding “positive perception of cooking method, taste & color” about Korean food were the highest among the four countries, followed by Vietnam (3.38±0.68), Myanmar (3.26±0.50), Thailand (3.09±0.64)workers(p<0.01). The mean scores of Myanmar workers regarding perception of “difference in cooking method, smell & texture” and “difference in taste” were the highest among the four countries. FNS had a negative correlation with the factor “positive perception of cooking method, taste & color” regarding Korean food and a positive correlation with the factors “difference in cooking method, smell & texture”.
