During the last years, the Korean language has been gaining popularity worldwide as a second language. This is partly due to the international success of the so-called Korean wave or hallyu-related cultural products. This increase of interest in learning the language has produced a new market for Korean language books, and the past years have seen a lot of specific-purpose materials for Korean learners being published. However, it is possible to argue that literature has been underrepresented in this new wave of publications. In the following chapter, the author examines a series of the most relevant materials oriented or dealing with Korean literature in their curriculum trying to offer an approximation on the state of question and reflecting on the reasons behind proposing ideas on how to improve literature teaching in the Korean language classroom.
