there isn't much difference.
jealous is a three person situation
envy is a two person situation.
It's no fun to feel envy or jealousy because both make you feel inadequate. Envy is when you want what someone else has, but jealousy is when you're worried someone's trying to take what you have. If you want your neighbor's new convertible, you feel envy. If she takes your husband for a ride, you feel jealousy.

Jealous and Envy can be used interchangeably, or they can replace each other in any sentence, in Korean, it'd be 질투.

They mean the same thing. You can say both "I am jealous of you" and "I envy you."
