Abstract

With the continuous development of society, people’s living standards and quality are constantly improving. However, there are also many problems that come with it, such as excessive pressure on teenagers and increasingly fierce social competition. South Korea can be regarded as a typical country with these problems. In fact, these problems exist globally. As a new generation, this is a very good opportunity for people to understand the physical and mental conditions of teenagers in other countries, and to explore in more detail the causes behind social phenomena. It can also help people better solve and deal with these problems. The research mainly focuses on exploring the psychological conditions of young people in South Korea and some of the factors that influence them. It mainly summarizes and summarizes some of the research results of previous scholars, and combines the phenomena in people’s own lives for understanding and analysis. The psychological condition of young people in South Korea is mainly reflected in social loneliness, low happiness index, excessive pressure, and social conformity. Many factors in society have led to these problems, typical of which include educational pressure, dependence on electronic products, and troubles brought about by the pandemic. In addition to psychological problems, there are also many advanced cognitive changes. For example, under the influence of the Korean Wave culture, the public has a diversified understanding of gender cognition.
