This research explores the meaning of filial piety from the perspective of early-career individuals. The objectives are to investigate new interpretations and evolving expressions of filial piety and to analyze the factors contributing to these changes. A qualitative approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with eight purposively selected participants. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings indicate that early-career individuals continue to value filial piety, but its meaning has shifted to emphasize emotional support and spending quality time together rather than focusing solely on material or financial assistance. As a result, the expressions of filial piety have become more diverse and flexible. Key factors influencing these changes include family upbringing, socioeconomic status, the transition to parenthood, and major life events. This study highlights how early-career individuals have reframed filial piety to better align with modern lifestyles, emphasizing emotional connection, shared time, and flexibility in its expression. While filial piety remains significant, its interpretation has evolved to meet the demands of contemporary society.
