This article speculates on democratic values of the Internet in South Korea in the context of inter-Korean relations. For a theoretical clarification, external and internal democratic values are conceptualised. The former represents democratic values that are seen by members of global communities, whereas the latter are the democratic values perceived by national citizens. The present article contends that the external democratic value of the Internet concerns soft power in that information and communications technology-driven politics and high connectivity of social network service appear to attract members of global communities with the country's positive image. The internal value of the Internet in South Korea is considered to be social capital as it bridges diverse social groups of the country and fosters altruistic public attitudes to embrace the citizens of North Korea
