This article explores the translation strategy of Korean Culturally specific items (CSIs) and aims to provide a useful reference for future Korean text translations based on the analysis theory and actual examples. This article focuses on the translation of Culturally Specific Items (CSIs) that are notoriously difficult to translate that are not widely studied so far in the field of Translation Studies and even less studied in Korean –Uzbek language pair. The need for this particular research is that CSIs certainly do exist in a text that needs to be translated and those CSIs constantly hamper translators’ minds in the real world of translation, however so little is known about how they are translated in the target language.
