BAQUEN, Carolina A.. Three generations: Kim Ji-young: Born 1982 as a prism to understand the construction of women’s individuality in South Korea. Hallazgos [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.37, pp.365-386.  Epub 01-Ene-2022. ISSN 1794-3841.  https://doi.org/10.15332/2422409x.7102.

This article presents a research study of three generations of women in South Korea. To achieve this goal, Cho Nam-Joo’s bestseller Kim Ji-young: Born 1982 is used as a prism for understanding the evolution of society during the period of transition and settlement of modernity. The sociohistorical analysis was carried out based on the articulation of documentary sources and social theories that allow us to understand the dynamics that took place in women’s trajectories. The results show the process of shaping individuals, the construction and transformation of dreams and aspirations for the future, as well as the crisis of the family and the resignification of work based on the desire for independence and autonomy.

Palabras clave : social change; individual; gender; future society; generational change; contemporary society; South Korea.
