This study aims to shed light on the trends of comparative studies on modern Korean and Chinese literature conducted in Korea since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and to explore any possible developments in the field of comparative studies based on such trends. For the purpose of this paper, comparative studies on modern Korean and Chinese literature published in Korea over the last thirty years has been sourced, such as doctoral dissertations, articles published in academic journals (Studies of Chinese & Korean Humanities), and books. After categorizing these texts, this paper analyzed the trends of research by year as well as the characteristics of research topics and methodologies. In the case of doctoral dissertations, I focused on analyzing writer, awarding institution, trend of dissertation publication by year, fields of research, commonly studied authors and subjects, and perspectives of research. In the case of the articles published in academic journals, I narrowed down the scope of the study to the articles published in Studies of Chinese & Korean Humanities, due to the huge volume of data. Factors such as informations on individual researchers, number of published articles in yearly basis, the most often mentioned group of authors in comparative sense, and characteristics of research theme have been examined under this category. Last but not least, I complied relevant academic publications in a book form, and analyzed them based on authors, trends by period, and contents. As a result of this study, the following points have been acknowledged as limitations. First, the object of comparative studies on modern korean and Chinese literature is limited to few particular authors. Second, most comparative studies tend to focus on similarities at a surface level or examine direct/indirect relationship of influence, and therefore hardly lead to in-depth level of comparative research. The overflow of one-off studies instead of follow-up studies in series also adds up to the limitation of current research field. In conclusion, comparative studies between modern Korean and Chinese literature should broaden its national perspective to a global stance, tackling new, universal acknowledgments. Such expansion of critical perspective will allow new space for an intellectual practice, seeking sense of solidarity.
