Both in Korea and America, indeed, young and old people perceive everything so differently that nothing seems to be able to reduce the vast sea of differences between them. And their different views have been vividly reflected in the election. For example, we have seen many younger Koreans voting for the Democratic Party who claims to be progressive, and many older Koreans vote for the Grand National Party, which is more conservative. Time magazine predicted that “The 2012 election could be one of the starkest intergenerational showdowns in American history.” The same thing will happen during the 2012 elections in South Korea as well.
