Disclosed is a method for manufacturing high-carbon bearing steel, which include: heating a billet at a temperature of about 950 to 1,050&#xb0; C. for about 70 to 120 minutes, rolling the billet to manufacture a wire rod, winding the wire rod to manufacture a wire rod coil, cooling the wire rod coil, and subsequently heat treating the wire rod coil for spheroidizing and carbonitriding, respectively. The bearing steel may include an amount of about 0.9 to 1.3 wt % of carbon (C), an amount of about 1.1 to 1.6 wt % of silicon (Si), an amount of about 1.0 to 1.5 wt % of manganese (Mn), an amount of about 1.5 to 1.9 wt % of chromium (Cr), an amount of about 0.2 to 0.6 wt % of nickel (Ni), an amount of about 0.1 to 0.3 wt % of molybdenum (Mo), and the balance iron (Fe) based on the total weight thereof.
