This paper analyzes data from the 1997 New Korea Barometer to see whether the public is more inclined to resolve tension by pressing demands for reform in order to make democracy better, or to become disillusioned and support undemocratic alternatives. The average Korean is very much in favour of the democratic ideal, but regards the reality of Korean government as only barely democratic. Analysis of the data shows that a majority of Koreans want to resolve tension by securing a better democracy. (DÜI-Alb)
