This paper is purposed to research the differences of internet consumptions between Korea and China. It analyzes the differences of genders and ages in different groups of the two countries by using the Comparison approach. The results show that internet consumptions have different relationships with ages and genders. Some indices have been affected by ages and genders, but others have not. The empirical evidence is supported by other hypotheses on internet consumptions. Also, the findings in this paper are consistent with other research on internet consumption. The study is expected to provide a foundational research for future studies.
