Christianity in Korea is characterized by its rapid growth and significant influence on society since its introduction in the late 19th century. Unique aspects include the strong integration of Christianity with Korean nationalism, particularly during the Japanese occupation, as it became a symbol of resistance. Additionally, the emergence of vibrant megachurches and a focus on charismatic worship styles distinguish Korean Christianity. Furthermore, the active engagement in social issues and missionary work both domestically and internationally highlights its dynamic role in contemporary Korean society.

Korea is the only region that self-proselytized to Christianity. In 1603, a Korean diplomat to China, Yi Gwang-jeong, met with a Jesuit missionary named Matteo Ricci in Beijing and became convinced of merits of Catholicism. When he returned to Korea, he began disseminating books given to him by the Jesuit and started the Catholic faith in Korea.
