AB - This study investigates the cultural differences and emoticon language between Korea and China, with a particular focus on emoticons, which are crucial in online communication for compensating for the lack of non-verbal expressions and conveying emotional information. The research was conducted from January to June 2024, surveying a total of 200 emoticon users from both countries. The findings from the initial survey revealed that Korean emoticons are well-received in China due to their cute and dynamic designs. However, cultural differences between the two countries can lead to misunderstandings and cultural discomfort when using emoticons. To address this issue, the study compared and analyzed the language, body language, and design of Korean and Chinese emoticons. A follow-up survey was conducted with 100 Chinese users to gather their satisfaction levels and suggestions for improvement. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and frequency analysis. The results showed that Korean emoticons were generally well-received by Chinese users, but there were some cultural differences that caused some inconvenience. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights for the Korean emoticon industry's expansion into the Chinese market and contributes to cross-cultural research on emoticons.
