This study divided Korean corpus into two perspectives: Self-perceived and others’ perceived Korean studies. To this end, we collected 10,929 humanities and social literature containing the word Korea or Korean as a keyword in the SCOPUS database.

Differences in Korean Studies between two are: First, the sub-area of ​​self-perceived Korean studies is subdivided into more diverse areas than the sub-area of ​​other-perceived Korean studies. Second the major areas in self-perceived Korean studies are customers and services, industrialization, multiculturalism, mental health, tourism, Korean language, environment, and cities. Others' perceptions of Korean Studies are grouped into domestic and foreign situations of Korea, Korean pop culture, Koreans as US immigrants, and Korean language.
