ABSTRACT

With translated literature being central to Korean-Chinese cultural exchange, there is significance in surveying the status of Korean literature available in the China. Through a survey of readership demand and an analysis of translated Korean literature in online portals, the article determined the awareness and perception the Chinese have of foreign publications including Korean literature. According to the survey, the readership demand was not met in terms of the quantity of translated literature as well as the variety in genre. As the diversification and sustenance of Korean-Chinese interchange continues, more opportunities to publish translated works will increase. There is a need for diversified efforts to supply sufficient literature inclusive of the Korean culture. However, there is a need for continued monitoring of consumer demand in addition to considering the supplier's needs. Above all, it can be said that there is a desperate need to build the infrastructure to foster and manage translation talent in order to produce a variety of translated Korean literature in the future.
