Minjuhwa or Minjoohwa () is political satire of the word democratization in South Korea. It now only remains in usage in far right communities despite its apolitical origins. It is alleged by some that it was coined in 1991, originally used by anonymous apolitical undergraduate netizens to describe violent opposition and mock annihilation of minority opinions.
South Korean newspaper Jeonjashinmun defines this term as "to suffer damage" or "to receive unfair treatment", and says it is usually used in the expression Minjuhwadanghaetda (민주화당했다) or Minjuhwadanghada (민주화당하다).
