The Korean National Youth Association (Korean: 조선민족청년단; Hanja: 朝鮮民族靑年團) abbreviated as Jokcheong (족청; 族靑; lit. National Youth) was a far-right nationalist organization founded on October 9, 1946, and led by Lee Beom-seok. KNYA had an ideology that intersected fascism and resistance nationalism, which also embraced left-wing youth and was described as a "Third Way". KNYA's fascism was deeply related to Third-Worldism (제3세계주의), which rejected both First World 'capitalism' and Second World 'communism'.
