Korean society has experienced an overall decline in social support during the COVID-19 pandemic, making it more difficult to build a sense of community and social harmony among its members. Therefore, this article aims to identify the levels and patterns of social support after COVID-19 and draw implications for promoting social cohesion. The main policy implications from this analysis suggest that, firstly, various social service resources should be provided to build social support systems and, secondly, it is necessary to offer psychological support services, such as counseling. However, since policy needs vary across different levels of social support, it is necessary to consider targeted and customized services.
