ABSTRACT

In this study, we surveyed 2,964 people from Korea and Japan, and analyzed the factors affecting images and the degree of their preference for country, people and language. The results show: 1. From the viewpoint of consciousness, Korean showed more interest in Japan, than Japanese did in Korea. Specifically, Japanese and Korean were equally interested in each other’s pop cultures and travel each other’s countries. The Korean younger generation showed high interest in Japanese animations and games. 2. From the viewpoint of experience, Koreans were more likely to visit Japan than Japanese to visit Korea. And, 50% of Koreans surveyed have learned the Japanese language, while only 10% of Japanese who was surveyed have learned the Korean language. 3. From the viewpoint of information, both Korean and Japanese obtained information about each other’s country on domestic TV and the Internet. In particular, TV is the most powerful source of information in Japan, whereas the Internet is in Korea. 4. The Japanese tended not to make an expression that they like or dislike Korea, Korean people, and the Korean language. On the other hand, Koreans tended to have negative impressions of Japan, and to show less negative impressions of Japanese people.
