According to H.B.Lee(1993), standard Korean vowel qualities are as follows: in /i/, /e/, $/\epsilon/$, /a/, /o/, /w/, they have 4 qualities each other and in /er/ there are 3 qualities. The environments of 4 qualities are iong and stressed vowel in word initial, short and stressed vowel in word initial, unstressed vowel in word initial, unstressed vowel in word finial. The aim of this study is to seek and compare with H.B.Lee(1993). Conclusively I could not find on the whole any pattern of the same types of H.B.Lee(1993) in this study And especially in Fl vowel formant values of /er/and /w/, I never found any pattern of the same types of H.B.Lee(1993). Also F2 vowel formant values of $/\varepsilon/$ and /w/ do not have any kind of pattern of the same types of H.B.Lee(1993), between them, the patternize of F2 vowel formant values in /w / is especially difficult. It is the same story of Jaekang Lee(1998). But in some case, the patternize could be done. among the whole vowels, analysis environment b has the wide width on the change of the formant value. As the another result of the analysis It is to possible to make the pattern of the old male group. The old male group on the whole is analyzed to have the most low formant values and the old women group is analyzed to have the most high formants values, but in the most high formant valus there are young women group. And the formant values's rising in 2 cases of the formant value of /er/ is analyzed to have the same pattern of H.B.Lee(1993).
