Political position [ edit ]

Hankook Ilbo tends to be economically centre-right and socially centre-left. Hankook Ilbo is a " liberal " media, but this is different from the meaning of " liberal " in the American political context. ^[8]

Hankook Ilbo officially doesn't put forward ideology other than "centrism". However, Hankook Ilbo has basically shown a fiscal conservative tone that values "fiscal responsibility". The newspaper has often criticized the Moon Jae-in government's fiscal policy for its lack of awareness of "financial soundness" ( Korean : 財政健全性 ). ^[9]^[10] This newspaper also supports "liberal economy". ^[11]

In contrast to the somewhat conservative tendency financially, the Hankook Ilbo has some cultural liberal tendency. The newspaper supported LGBT and other minority rights and emphasized "diversity". ^[12] Hankook Ilbo has criticized the hatred of obesity in Korean society. ^[13] In addition, the Hankook Ilbo has a favorable view of feminism . ^[14]
