N-po generation (Hangul: N포세대; Hanja: N抛世代; RR: N-posedae, "Numerous giving-up generation") is a new term for the generation of people who have given up on numerous things in South Korea. It first began as Sampo generation, and was then expanded to the 'Generation who gave up on n number of things'. Sampo Generation refers to a generation that has given up three things: dating, marriage, and having children, while Opo Generation has given up five things, adding owning a home and having a career to the list of things given up on by the Sampo generation. The Chilpo generation refers to the generation who gave up seven things, adding hope/hobby and human relations to Opo generation. Currently, many young people in their 20s and 30s in South Korea are giving up on dating and marriage and putting off having children without a commitment, on the grounds that they cannot afford to take care of themselves, let alone a family, due to economic and social pressures such as soaring prices, tuition fees, job shortages and home prices. These people belonging to the N-po generation are also referred to as Sampo generation. In a similar term, Japan refers to the Satori generation. Origin and expansion of the word This is a new term coined by the special task force of Kyunghyang Shinmun's planning series <Speaking a Welfare Country> in 2011. The press team defined "Sampo Generation" as "young people who delay dating, marriage, childbirth or no commitment due to excessive living costs such as unstable jobs, repayment of student loans, preparation for a job without a commitment, and soaring housing prices." It is a term coined to show that the burden of Korean families who have taken on the welfare that the state is not responsible has reached a critical point, eventually reaching a state of disintegration of the traditional family form. On the economic perspective, the term is both economically depressed and at the same time the domestic market is shrinking because Korea is heavily dependent on large exporters. This can be defined as a country where stagflation is a common practice due to low economic growth and very low wages and rising prices due to its unique economic structure, resulting in higher cost of living compared to low income, resulting in the creation of such terms. Since then, it has spread socially through various media, political circles and the Internet,
