Abstract: Despite modernization, Korea continues to struggle with gender inequality, even among younger generations exposed to democratic norms. This study examines whether young Korean citizens holistically support gender equality and explores gender and ideological differences in their attitudes. Using a novel 2024 survey dataset, it hypothesizes that gender and political ideology influence support for gender equality. The findings reveal significant divisions: conservative ideology impacts men more strongly than women, and younger citizens are more polarized compared to previous generations. This research sheds light on a key demographic whose attitudes will shape Korea’s societal and political landscape as generational replacement transforms the adult electorate..
