Cyber Troops in Networked Korea

Genealogy of Comment Troops in Korea

According to Marwick and Lewis (2017), media manipulators are motivated by a combination of ideology, money, and status/attention. These motivations characterize manipulative digital spaces in South Korea, too.

Organized trolls, so-called "comment troops," demonstrate the ways in which these motivations interplay to manipulate public opinion climates for political imperatives.
