This study aims to examine the present status of the misuse of Japanese words in the media on the Internet and to suggest the proper methods to purify misused Japanese words. To obtain this goal, this study was based on a considerable amount of the data collected from the media on the Internet for one year. This study also analyzed the misused words that could be searched on the Internet. There were so many cases of misuse and abuse of Japanese words in the media. For example, the words are ‘nogada’, ‘chaap’, ‘barikang’, ‘churining’, ‘konsaek’, ‘inkopubu’, and so on. The number of these misused words turned out to be 312, 548, 659, 58, 160, 2,100 cases, respectively. This result suggests that a word like ‘chaap’ is purified into ‘apryu’ and words like ‘nogada’, ‘barikang’, ‘konsaek’ are purified quite a lot, but these words are required to be purified into ‘maknodong’, ‘ibalgi’, and ‘gamsaek’. A word like ‘inkopubu’ is better to purified into ‘wonyangpubu’. It is almost impossible for the media alone to purify the misused Japanese words, so that the government, the media, academia, society organizations and civilians would better to collaborate with one another to refine Japanese words in Korean language
