Under the background of COVID-19’s worldwide outbreak, trade and cultural exchanges among countries have received very strong impacts. In South Korea, most Universities’ international exchange business encountered an immediate Waterloo slide. Korean students can't go out meanwhile foreign students can’t come in. This situation has led to a serious crisis of Korean Universities, especially local private Universities which are already suffering from the decreasing enrollment issue and financial difficulties. However, in the long run, exchanges between China and South Korea will continue to deepen. 2022 is the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties. Both countries have subjective and objective needs to expand exchanges and deepen cooperation, and the trend of Chinese students studying in South Korea will continue. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Korean Universities are seeking ways to escape the crisis and conduct exchanges under the guidance of the Korea Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and the Ministry of Education. Local Universities have also begun to explore the transformation of teaching, from the traditional way of attracting foreign students to study in Korea, to the new way of focusing on online teaching in the pandemic period. In this transformation, live-streaming online teaching is the most concerned by the academic circle. Although online teaching course has its limitations, no one doubts it is the most feasible way under the current pandemic situation. Its implementation, development and effect are worthy of academic circle’s continuous research, doing related research has important theoretical and practical significance. By sorting out and analyzing the existing literature, this paper found that there is still a huge space in both depth and breadth in this research area, especially the research on live-streaming Korean teaching is very deficient. In this paper, questionnaire survey and statistical analysis were used to investigate the effect of live-streaming basic Korean courses which were conducted by a Korean University, and targeted Chinese college students to enhance their motivation to learn Korean and Korean culture, and their willingness to study in Korea. This study found that the most students improved their Korean proficiency, learned more about Korean culture and Korean Universities by studying live-streaming basic Korean. Meanwhile most of the students have increased their willingness to study in Korea, while the willingness’ degree varies according to the students’ sex, age and diploma.
