Research on the disfluency of speech has yet to receive much attention in linguistics and Korean linguistics. However, with the recent development of discourse research and natural language processing, studies on the disfluency of normal adult native speakers, including English and Japanese, are increasing. In this study, the frequency of fillers was detected and analyzed for the daily life conversation corpus(500 hours) of the National Institute of Korean Language in order to find out the disfluency of normal adult speakers who are still insufficient in research. As a result, the proportion of fillers in the 500-hour total discourse was about 5%, and among the 22 extracted fillers, “eo~(어~)” (16.59%), “ije(이제)”(13.36%), “gue(그~)”(13.18%), and “mueo(뭐)”(12.34%) accounted for more than 55% of all fillers. Subsequently, as a result of extracting fillers, which account for 2% of the conversation, by speaker attributes(age group, gender, occupation, education, region), speaker relationship, and conversation topic, significant results were found.
