This discourse analysis study investigates the interplay between Confucianism, media representation, and gender dynamics in South Korea. By analyzing articles from prominent Korean newspapers published between 2023 and 2024, I will address two key research questions. First, I will explore how media portrayals of women leaders reflect shifts in traditional Confucian gender norms and their implications for societal perceptions of gender roles and leadership. Second, I will examine how changes in family structure influence media narratives about gender inequality, considering the extent to which these narratives challenge or reinforce traditional Confucian values regarding familial and gender roles. My analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between tradition, progress, and gender representation in South Korean media.
