From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MZ generation is a term commonly used in Korea to refer to the Millennials, which was born in the early 1980s and early 2000s, and Z generation, which was born in the mid-1990s and early 2000s.[1]
In other words, the MZ generation, ranging from 15 to 39, has 12,713,000 people, accounting for about 24.4% of the Korean population.[2]

Z generation is the next generation to the Millennials. 'Z' is the last letter of the alphabet, meaning the last generation born in the 20th century. There is no exact standard for dividing generation. Usually, people born before 1984 are called X Generation, born after 1984 are called Millennials, and the generation born after the mid-1990s is called Z generation. As of 2020, those under the age of 24 are still students or new to society. They look like the 'young millennials', but they have a lot of differences in their mindset and lifestyle.[4]
