Idioms denote linguistic units in different meaning other than that of the meaning of itself of a word in a sentence, and reflect a language speaking society's worldly position, beliefs, traditions and customs, in short; its materialistic and spiritual culture. These are extremely difficult for those who are learning aforeign language since they are difficult to comprehend and special terms hurled away from grammatical rules. Therefore, idioms have some major importance in teaching Korean. It is possible to come across with extremely various idioms involving names of organs, whatever language it may ever be. As in eveiy language, the idioms involving names of organs carry great importance in Korean as well. In our present study, we made a comparison through examining the idioms involving "names of organs relevant with the head and the names of organs found in the head" in Turkish and Korean languages. We tried to establish any similarities and differences between these idioms. in this context, we studied main organs in the head and head-relevant ones; that is, the face, the eyes, the ears, the nose, and the mouth. While conducting this study, we divided the idioms into three groups, namely the idioms which were similar in terms of meaning and expression in Korean and Turkish; and the idioms which were similar in terms of meaning but were dissimilar in terms of expression; and finally the idioms which were similar in terms of expression but were dissimilar in terms of meaning. As a result, we identified numerous similarity and dissimilarity between the idioms about "names of organs relevant with the head and the names of organs found in the head" ofthe two languages in this regard. This result shows us that we need more research between Korean and Turkish.
