61.9% Say Large-Scale Protests Like Those in France Could Happen in Korea
Published
Large-scale protests have recently continued in France, and a survey has been released on whether such protests could also happen in Korea. In the survey, 61.9% of respondents said that large protests like those in France were 'likely' to occur in Korea as well. In other words, more than six out of every ten people think so.
The differences were clear across age groups. In particular, 73.3% of respondents in their thirties said that large-scale protests were likely to happen in Korea. This is more than 10 percentage points higher than the average of all respondents. It can be seen that people in their thirties feel this possibility more strongly than other age groups.
These results show how people think about social issues. Large-scale protests are one of the ways in which many people come together to express their opinions on government or social policies. Therefore, the fact that respondents see such protests as highly possible may be interpreted as indicating that concern and dissatisfaction with society as a whole are not small.
However, this survey did not predict that large-scale protests would actually happen in Korea. This is because it measured the possibility that respondents personally feel. Real social change is determined by the interaction of many factors, so it is difficult to judge future developments based on this result alone.
In the end, this survey shows that news of the protests in France has also drawn the interest of people in Korea, and that those in their thirties in particular feel this issue more closely. It will be worth watching how interest in social conflict and citizens' voices develops going forward.
