The purpose of this paper is to find out the level of awareness of taping therapy in Korea that has changed since Arikawa teacher began to instruct on taping to Korea. in order to achieve the purpose of this research, papers written on the subject of taping therapy in Korea were surveyed, organized, and analyzed at four major sites, and the level of awareness of taping therapy was investigated through questionnaires. The paper survey was conducted on papers searched by the search term “taping” among papers published from 2011 to 2022. In the above survey, a total of 434 papers were searched, including 229 academic journal papers, 23 doctoral dissertations, and 182 master's thesis. This is an increase of 218% compared to 94 papers published from 1998 to 2010. Among doctoral thesis, papers related to physical therapy increased more than four times, and papers related to sprots field is also increased.This means that although the Utilization of use of taping therapy in sports field is increasing, the use of taping therapy in physical therapy is still superior. The survey was conducted from August 1st to August 31st, 2023 to a total of 120 people, 58 men and 62 women, to find out the current state of application of taping therapy, current state of learning, and awareness of the method. Through the above survey, 91% of taping treatments were performed free of charge, which may be due to the fact that it is not yet recognized as a new medical technology in South Korea. In addition, the greater part of taping lectures were aimed at first- and second-year students at university who learned taping therapy through seminars and special lectures, so there was concern that the educational level of taping was insufficent. The application of this appears to be at an extremely rudimentary stage. Also, when we see that people know kinesio taping, but do not know ``gasegenzo taping'', and know orthopedic taping, but do not know the Arikawa taping method, so we concerned that taping therapy education is mainly focused on practical skills. As a result results, after Arikawa started teaching about taping to South Koreans the number of papers increased by 218%, showing significant results. However, there is still a need for a better understanding of taping approach methods, further research on the classification of taping approach methods, and a need for courses aimed at clinical experts.
