ABSTRACT

This article explores the habits and common trends among Generation Z in Korea, with a specific focus on the use of neologisms and the influence of social media platforms. Generation Z, often referred to as individuals born between 1997 and 2003, is known for their extensive use of social media in various aspects of their lives. However, the exact birth year range for this generation remains a topic of academic debate. This research aims to investigate the current trends and habits among Generation Z in Korea, including the adoption of neologisms, preferences for products and food, and popular daily activities. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing six videos from the YouTube playlist titled “04nyeonsaeng ZaeZae” on the social media channel munmyeongteukgeub – MMTG. The results of the study revealed that among the morphological characteristics of neologisms “hunseongeo” ‘mixed word’ and “chukyakeo” ‘abbreviation word’ were more numerous than the other characteristics. Furthermore, the trend habits among Generation Z in Korea are unique and unconventional, influenced by the use of social media platforms that provide a wide range of information about the trending habits among Generation Z in Korea.
