The purpose of this study is to investigate the language attitude and perception of multilingual education for children of old overseas Chinese in Korea. To this end, three old overseas Chinese from different backgrounds were selected as participants in the study, and in-depth interviews were conducted according to the qualitative narrative research method. As a result of the study, the participants still maintained an affection and positive attitude toward Chinese even after living in Korea for a long time, and showed a willingness to protect the traditional Chinese culture. However, as generations changed and people gradually became familiar with Korean society, there has been a tendency to increase the use of Korean and decrease the use of Chinese in daily life. While Korean was perceived as a language that could be acquired naturally through everyday exposure without formal instruction, Chinese was not acquired as sufficiently as expected due to the limitations of the learning and use environment. Although participants recognized the necessity of English education, their actual engagement with it remained relatively limited.
