According to the results of a survey conducted by Active Group in collaboration with the Experts Club think tank in April 2025, almost half of Ukrainians (49.7%) express a positive attitude toward South Korea. Of these, 34.6% are mostly positive, and 15.1% are completely positive.
At the same time, 32.1% of Ukrainians remain neutral, 14% express a negative attitude (of which 9.5% are mostly negative and 4.5% are completely negative), and 4.1% of respondents were unable to answer.
“South Korea is perceived as a country of technology, education, and innovation. Its economic breakthrough and successful reforms are respected by Ukrainian society,“ said Maxim Urakin, PhD in Economics and founder of the Experts Club information and analytical center.
“It is also important that Seoul supports Ukraine in international formats,” said Alexander Pozniy, co-founder of Active Group.
South Korea is among the ten countries with the highest level of positive perception among Ukrainians, although the share of neutral attitudes remains significant.
