Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of Confucianism on cultural and gender relations in Korea. Confucian traditions have survived in modern Korean society since the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). The article shows that Confucianism, being the core of modern culture and ideology, influences the political and social institutions of modern Korea. Although Confucian values ​​permeated and influenced the lives of all Koreans during the Joseon Dynasty, they placed particularly severe restrictions on women. It was concluded that a specific version of neo-Confucian philosophy adopted by Korean society during the Joseon Dynasty led to the idea of ​​respecting men and belittling women, with the constant emphasis on obedience and chastity, to dominate the lives of Korean women.
