Analyzes media framing of China in South Korea, discovering thematic trends and their public impact.

The study aims to analyze how South Korean media frames coverage related to China over a decade.
Collected 37,164 news articles from Naver and Daum between 2014 and 2024.
Applied TF-IDF vectorization and K-means clustering to identify themes.
Performed correlation analyses to explore relationships between media framing and public attitudes.
Identified three main thematic frames: economic sanctions (38.5%), US-China technology competition (35.4%), and Korea-US military cooperation (26.1%).
Found strong correlations between framing patterns and public attitudes towards China, notably a high correlation coefficient (r = 0.91).
The analysis theorizes a 'compound framing' effect, reflecting South Korea's complex geopolitical position.

Kim et al. (2026) studied this question.
