This article analyzes the linguocultural features of the female image in Korean and Uzbek folk proverbs. It compares the values, gender stereotypes, views on family life, and attitudes toward women found in the proverbs of both nations. During the study, the semantic, pragmatic, and cultural layers of paremiological units related to women are interpreted, and their similarities and differences are identified. The findings show that although both Korean and Uzbek proverbs recognize women as an essential pillar of society, there are noticeable distinctions in the intensity of patriarchal attitudes and their cultural foundations.
