About This Trend

지역혐오 is a Korean term that translates to "regional discrimination" or "regionalism". This trend is about the growing awareness and discussion around discrimination and prejudices towards people from certain regions, particularly those from the southeastern region of Gyeongsang Province, which is considered the most conservative and wealthy part of the country. This trend is popular on social media as it sparks debates and conversations about social inequality, identity, and regional disparities in South Korea, highlighting the need for greater understanding and unity among Koreans.
