The aim of this study is to present the direction of the research on Korean prosody. The overview of research on the Korean prosody over the past 60 years were reviewed in this study. Analysis shows that the researches from 1950s and 1960s were focused on vowel length, accent, and rhythm in words. The studies in new area, which are about intonation, and prosody in sentences started at 1980s. There has been an explosive growth in terms of both quantity and quality of the research on this area since 1990s. I tried to suggest some directions for further studies in Korean prosody; researches about 1) controlled experimental method, 2) based on a large corpus, 3) interaction with syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, 4) interaction with Korean educational linguistics, speech pathology.
