"우익" (pronounced "u-ik") refers to the right-wing political ideology in South Korea. This ideology typically emphasizes nationalism, traditional values, and a strong national defense. Supporters often advocate for free-market policies and a limited role of government in the economy. In South Korea, the term "우익" is often associated with political parties like the 자유한국당 (Liberty Korea Party) and figures such as 이명박 (Lee Myung-bak) and 박근혜 (Park Geun-hye). Right-wing movements may also focus on issues like anti-communism and maintaining a strong alliance with the 미국 (United States).
