Political divide widens along gender lines for young first-time voters in South Korea
South Korea will hold its presidential election on June 3 and the political divide among young first-time voters appears to be widening along gender lines.
Young women are expected to lead a broad political backlash against the main conservative party after months of upheaval, but their male counterparts seem likely to side with the conservative camp.
A recent Gallup Korea poll showed more than half of men aged 18-29 are backing right-wing parties such as the Reform Party and People Power Party while almost half the young women support the left-wing Democratic Party.
