This study aims to present the necessity of categorizing Korean for Hobby Purposes (KHP) as a part of Korean for Specific Purposes (KSP) and to suggest the method to design a KHP course. The number of overseas Korean learners has increased with the influence of the Korean wave, and many of them want to learn Korean as a hobby. To reflect this social change and learners’ needs, it is necessary to add KHP to a category of KSP. This study grouped three types of KHP learners: 1) to enjoy the Korean wave, 2) to prepare a trip to Korea, 3) to learn Korean as leisure. These learners are beginners, but the KHP curriculum is different from Korean for General Purposes (KGP). KHP course focuses on speaking skills, spoken Korean and the Korean wave contents, whereas KGP course focuses on integrated skills, grammar and tests. Therefore, it is required to design a KHP course differently from other KSP or KGP courses. The first thing to do for designing a KHP course is to analyze the learners’ needs and characteristics. KHP learners want 1) Korean wave contents in class, 2) to improve speaking skills, 3) to enjoy Korean class without preparing for any test. In response to these needs, this study suggests three methods to design KHP course. First, it is important to use Korean wave contents such as K-dramas and K-pop to keep learners’ interest. Second, it is effective to use communicative speaking tasks such as an information gap activity. Third, various games can be used to make an enjoyable class. It is significant that this study initiates the idea of KHP and suggests the practical methods to apply to KHP course. However, the comparison of KHP and KGP was only based on one university in Singapore, and thus it is hard to generalize.
