Make Korea great again: The right-wing group wooing disenchanted youth
Published: 12/20/2025

South Korea's right-wing youth group, Freedom University, is gaining traction among disenchanted young Koreans by opposing what they see as corrupt left-wing governments led by figures like former President Yoon Suk Yeol. Yoon's imprisonment has turned him into a symbol of resistance for youth feeling neglected by South Korea's political status quo. This movement, inspired by America's Maga movement, is attracting young supporters dissatisfied with economic conditions and political promises, creating a polarized landscape in the country.
