Joe Rogan Experience #2544 - Chris Williamson · Aired Aug 21, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Women in South Korea are considered among the most left-leaning in the world.
The finding
What the evidence shows
The gap is real and striking. Among South Koreans in their twenties, about 58% of women backed the progressive candidate while over 71% of men went conservative, the widest split of any age group. But most left-leaning in the world is not something anyone measures, and the same divide is opening up among Gen Z voters in the US, Germany and the UK.
