    (1) Social media and online disinformation contents: Online hate speech and far-right memes are undermining the historic truth & reconciliation which 1987 system is based on.

    This article is a part of investigative journalism series on far-right teen culture centered around meme in Korea. In another article that is in Korean shows that around 20% Korean teens share those memes and 66% Korean teens felt repulsed when they saw those memes. The study indicates that majority of Korean teenagers are not that interested in the memes but a small minority is overflowing the online space with far-right memes.
