Compared to 7,418 in the year 1978. The number of South Koreans going to Iran was fell down. Due to the economic effects of the revolution and the Iran–Iraq War.

Koreans have also school in Iran. its Iran's sole school for South Korean nationals, the Tehran Korean School (also known as the Korean Embassy School), was established on 30 April 1976; it uses Korean as the primary medium of instruction, with English used for science and computer classes, and Persian offered as a foreign language. As of 2002, it enrolled 29 elementary-school students.
Iranian women have played an important role throughout history. Scheherazade, though fictional, is an important figure of female wit and intelligence, while the beauty of Mumtaz Mahal inspired the building of the Taj Mahal itself. Iranian women today serve an active role in society. Peace activists such as Shirin Ebadi have pushed for greater rights for women, while many Iranian women exiles have set examples of excellence that have no doubt inspired many Iranian women to strive for change in the conservative society prevalent in today's Iran. His message to Korean government "I wish to korea is to have a prosperity and to have a very good economic & cultural stability" Thank you.
