The article discusses the phenomenon of the "Infernal Joseon" in South Korea on the example of the protests against President Park Geun-hye in 2017. We consider this phenomenon as one of the factors of a surge in the political activity of Korea, which eventually had a strong effect on the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye. Difficulties in finding a job, abandonment of private life, and lack of self-sufficiency have a negative impact on the perception of Korea by youth. We have analyzed the image of Korea in the eyes of young Koreans through the concept of "Infernal Joseon". It is concluded that the social and economic exclusion of young people and the lack of state support ultimately leads to the problems in their self-actualization.
