Xenophobia

I don't want, but I have to admit that Korea is a xenophobia country.
In Korea, there are a lot of foreigners : immigrant wives, migrant workers, travelers, language teacher, etc. Most of readers reading this entry are foreigners. If you ever visited Korea, you would be feeling you were a total stranger and weren't easily accepted by Korean. You would see lots of Koreans giving you an odd look around and you may feel like you are the one whom people pay a lot of attention to as if you are a monkey in cage. Nobody want to have a these disgusting experience. Maybe because the population of Korea has been a nation-state country, with very few foreigners, this can't be easily improved in the near future.
As I said above paragraph, the homogeneous factors make Korean recognize foreigner, especially those who are racially different from them, in the different way in compared to the same. They sensitively react about every crime caused by foreigners. For instance, a year ago one Russian committed multiple acts of arson. Though arson could be committed by either Koreans or foreigners, many media were focusing on the culprit of the arson was non other than foreigner. The media, being much interested in gossips and sensational news, occasionally say that foreigners may be a stumbling block to solving the high unemployment rate.
The son of multicultural family is another serious matter we should deal with carefully. Many multicultural sons are usually the object of bullying in Korean school because they have distinctive and different features such as the color of skin and their appearance. However, a lot of foreigners reside here and some of them are women who have married Korean men. It's obvious that the number of the multicultural family will be increasing. Besides, foreign workers, especially southern-east Asian workers, are working in the 3D jobs Koreans usually shun. If Korean continue not embracing foreigners as their neighbors, given the situation that Korea will be in danger of a chronic workforce shortage someday, it's like they are harming themselves, in terms of country's survival.
I can easily find those who make derogatory remarks targeting foreign workers and delay payment of wage on purpose. I think, in a few decades, Korea may need to enact an anti-racism law both to subsist and prevent social conflict.

(I think since "would" is here already, you don't need "were", but others may have a different opinion.)
Nobody wants to have a these disgusting experiences.

The children of multicultural families is another serious matter we should deal with carefully.
son = only boy children
children = all children
If you meant specifically boys, then using plural ("The sons of multicultural families") would sound more natural^^
Many multicultural children are usually the object of bullying in Korean schools because they have distinctive and different features such as the color of their skin and their appearance.
It's obvious that the number of the multicultural families will be increasing.

In regards to the idea that foreigners cause a high unemployment rate - some people say this in the US as well, usually referring to Mexican immigrants. However, like foreigners in Korea, many immigrants take jobs that the same Americans would shun.
It took many years for America to work through its race issues, and it's still a battle. I imagine the same will be true for Korea. But I think if people like you exist there, there is good hope for the issues eventually being resolved!
I hope all the nations can solve this issue as soon as possible.
Thank you for correcting this entry and your saying!
I have to reluctantly admit that Korea is a xenophobic country.
I don't want, but I hate to admit it, but Korea is a xenophobic country.
"I hate to admit it, but" says exactly what you want to say here and it is an idiomatic standard in English.
Most of people reading this entry are foreigners.
In Korean is it quite normal to have a kind of repetition like "reading readers", "dancing a dance", "sleeping a sleep". However, in English, it's a bit awkward to do this, so it's usually better to find a synonym.
If you ever visited Korea, you would feel like you were a total outcast, not easily accepted by Koreans.
You would see lots of Koreans giving you an odd look around and you may feel like you are the only one whom people are paying a lot of attention to, like a monkey in a cage.
"whom" is technically correct here, but it sounds really stuffy and a little awkward.
Nobody wants to have a these unnerving experiences.
I'm not sure that "unnerving" is really what you want to say here, but "disgusting" doesn't fit. Consider an alternative.
Maybe because the population of Korea has been a homogeneous nation-state for so long, with very few foreigners, this situation won't change quickly.
As I said above paragraph, the homogeneous factors make Korean recognize foreigner, especially those who are racially different from them, in the different way in compared to the same.Because of the homogeneity of the Korean population, Koreans are wont to view foreigners differently from themselves.
I have corrected to make it more natural, but this whole sentence is unnecessary since the above sentence essentially says the same thing. There's not new information here, so it's redundant.
They are especially sensitively to crimes committed by foreigners.
For instance, a year ago a Russian committed multiple acts of arson.
Though arson can be committed by either Koreans and foreigners alike, the media were focused on the fact that the culprit was a foreigner.
Many multicultural children are usually the object of bullying in Korean schools because they have distinctive and different features such as different skin color and facial features.
"appearance" is too general to be included here since skin color fits into that category as well. It's better specify which feature is different in addition to skin color.
Also, "distinctive" and "different" in the case serve the same function, so I've deleted "different" in favor the more precise wording.
Besides, foreign workers, especially southern-east Asians, are working in the 3D jobs Koreans usually shun.
If Korean continue not embracing foreigners as their neighbors, given the situation that Korea will be in danger of a chronic workforce shortage someday, it's like they are harming themselves, in terms of country's survival.If Koreans continue to reject foreigners, given the current threat of labor shortage, Korea will put its survival at risk.
I think, in a few decades, Korea may need to enact an anti-racism law both to subsist and prevent social conflict.
I'm not sure how you are meaning to use the word "subsist" here, but usually it talks about living off the land, having enough, but not an abundance.
Thnak you!

As I have said in the paragraph above, the homogeneous factors make Koreans recognize foreigners, especially those who are racially different from them, and look at them differently.
"Koreans recognize foreigners...and look at them in a different way..."
What you wrote: "Korean(s) recognize foreigner(s)...in (a) different way"
I think "recognize in a different way" is not exactly what you mean.
Though arson could be committed by either Koreans or foreigners, the media were focusing on the fact that the culprit was a foreigner.
"Many media" doesn't sound right to me. When I have to use "many", I would use another noun with it like in "media forms" or "media outlets".
When I refer to "media" as a whole, or to the different "forms of media", I refer to them as just "the media".
If Koreans continue to not embrace foreigners as their neighbors, given the threat of a depleting workforce someday, it's like they are harming themselves, in terms of the country's survival.
