This is a study on use trend of 1 character Chinese verbs in Korean as seen on Korean newspapers by genre --that is, five genres of Society, Economy, Politics, Sports, and Editorials which constitute newspaper articles-- as well as a comparative analysis of correspondence trend between Korean case and Japanese case. As a result, it was found out that the total number of examples as ascertained in Korean newspapers was 33 in individual vocabulary. In terms of ratio, this is somewhat lower than 20% which is the figure obtained from dictionaries, suggesting that the number of 1 character Chinese verbs that are used in 5 genres of newspaper articles is quite small. The gap in the frequency of use of these 1 character Chinese verbs by genre was substantial, but the gap in the number of vocabularies (individual vocabularies) was not that big. In terms of genre, 1 character Chinese verbs were used most frequently in Society whereas those verbs were used least frequently in Economy. When correspondence trend of 1 character Chinese verbs in Korean is compared vis-a-vis the Japanese case, the overall picture was rather similar to the one that was obtained from various dictionaries, but the ratio of correspondence was higher in the case of same pattern correspondence than in the case of different pattern correspondence. In terms of genre, same pattern correspondence between Korean and Japanese was highest in Politics, whereas different pattern correspondence between Korean and Japanese was highest in Sports. Other than these two, same pattern correspondence between Korean and Japanese was higher in Economy next to Politics. Although the ratio was lower in terms of the frequency of use and the number of vocabularies, Economy proved to be a genre that has high rate of same pattern correspondence vis-a-vis Japanese.
