The purpose of this study is to explore the determinants of Korean welfare attitudes. For this, panel data from 2nd wave(2007) data from Korea Welfare Panel Study (KoWePS), is used. The results show that negative evaluation of government`s social policy, economic status and welfare experiences affect on aspects of the welfare attitude investigated in this study. It can be said that the basis to demand welfare expansion exist in Korea. However It is impossible to construct developmental welfare state because of the weak reliability of government`s social policy. Considering the motive and the budget limit of welfare state, Korean welfare development should be headed for the universal welfare state instead of welfare for the poor, as public welfare experiences make people in all classes support public welfare.
