The Covid 19 pandemic officially broke out in Jan 2020 and ended in Mar.2023, following the WHO, claiming 7 million lives. For the three years, while the world made concerted effort to fight against the deadly virus, South Korea was praised as a model country in that the country effectively contained the spread of the virus. Given this, the paper aims to figure out how South Korea’s story was quoted by looking at six editorials in the New York Times and the Washington Post. For this aim, we have analyzed linguistic expressions within White (2003)’s appraisal theory and then conducted a key word frequency analysis. The analysis results as follows: first South Korea’s story was quoted to criticize the U.S. government of its wrong management to the Covid-19, also giving some lessons to the world; second, both newspapers attribute the South Korea’s success to its swift and rapid response to the pandemic; and third, the Washington Post showed more positive attitude to South Korea than the New York Times by quoting the country’s success more frequently with more positive words in evaluating the country’s responses to the pandemic while both newspapers showed negative attitudes to the U.S. government to the issue. Thus, it can be concluded that linguistic expressions in quotations are effectively used in showing the newspapers’ attitude toward South Korea and the U.S.
