arXiv:2606.06797v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cultural-aspect work on large language models is dominated by a negative target: which outputs to suppress. We argue that a constructive counterpart is also needed, a working definition of what a culturally coherent response is rather than only what it must avoid, and instantiate it for Korean. We design an alignment-data pipeline around a prompt-based LLM seed generator that expands a Korean harm taxonomy, with a Korean-culturally-adapted safe-response policy at its centre: a per-category guideline grounded in Korean legal frameworks, social nor
As large language models become more ubiquitous, the need for cultural alignment beyond simple suppression of harmful content is becoming critical, prompting work on constructive cultural coherence.
This research provides a framework for integrating specific cultural values into LLMs, moving beyond Western-centric default alignments and addressing user-base resonance and ethical considerations for diverse populations.
The shift from solely suppressing negative outputs to actively defining and integrating culturally coherent responses changes the approach to LLM alignment, making models more relevant and acceptable in specific cultural contexts.

The development of culturally specific alignment pipelines for Korean LLMs.
Increased demand for similar 'cultural coherence' frameworks in other non-Western regions, leading to a fragmentation of LLM alignments.
The emergence of 'sovereign AI' models tailored to national cultural and legal standards, challenging the dominance of globally aligned LLMs.
