The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister CHAE Hwi-young, MCST) announced its forecast of the “2026 Social and Cultural Trends,” based on an analysis of 538 million online big data collected between January and November 2025 from news outlets, social media, online communities, and video platforms. The findings indicate that Korean society will move beyond the phase of post-crisis recovery and enter a new stage of “adaptation” in 2026, in which people will continue to restructure their ways of life.
