In this article, newspaper editorials in both Japanese and Korean languages ​​were targeted for analysis, and an analysis was conducted from a sympathetic aspect by a sampling survey for the six years after 2016. The results obtained from the sample with the number of editorials “(Japanese) 3,987 : (Korean) 5,415” and the total number of characters “(Japanese) 3,598,007 : (Korean) 5,909,696” are described by chapter. The appearance rate of foreign words throughout the six years was “(Japanese) 73.9%: (Korean) 30.2%”, and the appearance rates of foreign words in both languages ​​were overwhelmingly different. Furthermore, when considering the appearance rate of word types, a major feature is the rapid increase in hybrid words in 2020. It was found that the increase factor was due to the frequent use of words related to “COVID-19”. Regarding proper nouns, which were not included in the research subject and only the total number of words was investigated, the frequent appearance of country names and personal names was also characteristic in both languages ​​due to the characteristics of economic papers. Next　Chapter is a feature of high-frequency loanwords. There are 23 duplicate words in the top 50 words of both languages. Here, in the top 50 words, the pattern of increasing / decreasing trends over 6 years was considered based on the frequency type of previous studies. As for the words that were on the increase throughout, social and current affairs were prominent in both languages. The characteristic words were “digital” and “dollar” in Japanese. In particular, “digital” seems to be a result of the recent aggressive efforts toward digitalization. Also, in Korean, it is one of the words “아파트”, and it appeared in articles about real estate. I would like to analyze the quantitative transition since 2013, by genre of words, and the difference in abbreviations as a notation of foreign words.
