This study examines the relationship between the changes in the number of the COVID-19 confirmed cases and presidential approval ratings by using cases of infectious disease prevention management in Korea. Linking the pandemic quarantine with presidential approval, we apply a time-series spillover analysis to the daily poll data on Korean presidential approval ratings. The findings demonstrate that Moon's presidential approval ratings tend to rise with the health crisis caused by the spread of the COVID-19, because the public evaluating the countermeasures against the COVID-19 of Moon's administration are likely to support Moon when the issue of the COVID-19 is salient. We also find that changes in presidential approval ratings due to the fluctuations in the number of confirmed cases are not consistent but differentiated depending on the period, because of the fatigue of people with the pandemic.

There are a plethora of studies on globalization, yet few studies have examined the overall effects of globalization on Korea. Thus, in this study, we investigated the overall effects of globalization on Korea's economy, society, language, and culture. The Korean economy enjoyed further growth as globalization facilitated trade expansion. Yet, income inequality and wealth gap deteriorated. Globalization is expanding generational gap as the younger generation introduces changes in language usage. Social culture is altering from Confucianism and collectivism to individualism and materialism particularly among young people. International marriages raise many social issues as well. Children born in international or interethnic couple experience serious identity confusion, requiring the government's and society's support. Gender equality and low childbirth are serious problems for future economic growth. In summary, globalization helped Korea's economic growth, yet introduced many other issues.

Scholars of comparative politics have long sought to understand the relationship between Confucianism and support for democratic regimes and institutions. Confucianism can manifest itself in a preference for economic growth over democratic politics among citizens. In this paper, we consider the effect of corruption perceptions on support for democracy in Asia's liberal democracies (Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Using latent class analysis (LCA), we find that although some in Northeast Asia value economic growth more than democratic development, this view does not necessarily threaten evaluations of democratic performance or translate into a clear preference for dictatorship. We also find that perceptions of government corruption fully color the views individuals have about how desirable democracy is as a political regime and how it performs in their country. All told, our research reconceptualizes the relationship between regime performance and cultural orientations in East Asia's Confucian democracies.
