      That's true. Example is true beauty's writer. She said that due to her experiences, she wrote true beauty. We can see that she holds a lot of insecurity in herself, and thus she wrote suho and seojun, her ideal types. Maybe the webtoon (or drama or whatever y'all watch) might be annoying at times, but i guess that's how her mentality was built up

      Come to Korea. As anyother country girls take most of advantages and this is the reason why feminism is not popular in Korea. Because it is treated as Losers' thoughts and it is true at least in Korea. Escape from reality? Feminist girls in Korea don't do shit and they just scream for their rights, in fact they don't do shit bt screamig.

    This is called romanticism. I learned (painfully so), that the greater the fantasy the darker the reality. K-drama for example, the men are so enchanting and romantic because it stems from the writers IMAGINATION. The greatest and most beautiful and romantic pieces are often created by the most depressed people.
    It's actually the minds way of trying to cope and stabilize itself. What cannot be obtained in reality is compensated by the imagination. It's also why many of the most romantic artist are eager to jump off this mortal coil. Because at some point imagination is not enough.
    Go forth and enjoy your K-dramas now.

One Korean guy got out of the elevator and used the stairs by himself just so the last girl could get in the elevator. It was one of the most gentleman moments I've seen, so I guess all this depends on the Korean guy.

    I'm half Korean, I grew up abroad and my parents are feminists and when I went to SK for a visit it shocked me how men treated woman and women treated men. Why can't we just be equal why does a penis, vagina or whatever else dictate how people treat us?
    To clarify since the comments are a raging war I do not mean "absoulute" equality. We all have differences and they should be utilised accordingly. What I mean is that certain day to day experiences such as being treated with respect shouldn't be dictated by whether one has a penis, vagina, etc. Nor how we present ourselves. We are all human and we all deserve equal opportunity and respect along with plenty more and since "absolute" equality can never be achieved due to how our differences make us unique and how some people rise to the top and some sink to the bottom we should atleast strive for a society filled with diversity and respect without discrimination and oppression( not all since we can never truly get rid of these issues simply minimise them to the smallest percentage we can.

    This is so true. I get annoyed every time a Korea obsessed girl tells me that Korean guys are perfect in terms of personality and looks. Guys, get real. Korea isn't utopia, it's a real world country. And Korean guys aren't perfect- no one is. In fact, I would say that Asian men are one of the most patriarchal people in the world (not all, ofc). The Korea you see in romntic kdramas is not real. The girls who think male leads in kdramas as realistic are delusional.

    But several things in Korea are little too much. Issues like this,racism and beauty standards are really toxic.
    Obsession with skin care,perfect hair & make-up, extreme dieting. These things are way too toxic. Seriously! I've been following kpop,kdrama for a long time. Even I noticed that there's a slight changes the way I behave. I slowly became Insecure. And that shit really scared the fuck out of me... I started noticing my imperfections,my weight,the way I look. Imagine a girl who is wholeheartedly against any kind of toxic feminine beauty standards set by society. Even she falls for this... Like WTF!
    I immediately take a break and tried to normalize things about myself!! After a few days I finally stopped worrying for this kinda toxic stuff. Tbh It was horrible!

People be watching all the rom-coms and then they complain about it being so nice. You need to accept any tv show or movie from anywhere is just a source of entertainment. Nothing more or less. IMO I would say there are enough Kdramas that highlight dark side of the society. Not only highlighting the problems of 1gender but every gender that exists. It's just us who choose to watch all "lovey-dovey" stuffs.

      Even in many SK rom-coms, they show the male lead as toxic, invasive/neglectful, controlling, crazy-ish, narcissistic, rude to FL & her family, etc. Even older "classics" like BOF, playful kiss, Secret Garden, male leads are ab*sive bullies (even physically ab*sive). Even in the Nevertheless you mentioned, the ML is a sh*tty character and doesn't deserve the FL. People, especially the young girls, mistake all those problematic behavior & ab*se from ML as "love", because of the romantic bgm and the handsome face of the actor.
      Just remove the handsome face and replace the bgm, you'll see how scary and disgusting, the ML and the plot is. Remove the beautiful face of FL, and you'll see that a lot of FL characters from rom-coms, lack personal boundary, dignity and ability to think for herself. Also, a lot of rom-coms show sexual harassment (like forced kiss, dragging the FL to do stuff), as love. Many k-dramas romanticize adult-minor relationships (For ex Goblin (900+ grown ass man to 17-18yo highschooler he met when she was a fetus).

    Most countries in Asia are very conservative. I was taught that girls can be as smart as boys by my family because I was the single daughter under one child policy but it's not the case for most others. Many of my female friends tell me how their parents treat their brothers so much better than them, who are expected to be the nanny or second mom in the family at a young age, especially the eldest daughter. Often, if the family can only afford to send one child to college it will be the son. A lot of diaspora live with the same mentality and the daughters grow up doing everything but feeling like they don't have much worth while the sons are coveted and spoiled to the bone. It's pretty messed up
    EDIT: to every older asian sister, this post was for you. I empathize 100% and you deserve much more than to be shoved into the role of a nanny or nurturer in this biased society who don't value female excellence.

They’ve also done something that cleared the SK searches when they released their latest comeback Nxde.

    As someone who went to American international school in Hong Kong with a bunch of Korean kids where I was bullied almost daily by Korean boys due to sexist traditional ideas that they held, this makes me very sad and angry at the dismissive attitude towards feminism in South Korea. Not only did these boys not respect the culture of the country their parents are making $ in, they also thought they had the right to regulate how girls should act or look like. I will never forget that one Korean guy who shoved me to the ground and crossed me name out on the soccer club sign up sheet while hid friends cheered him on because they didn’t think I had the right to learn how to play soccer. Mind you, I don’t think all Korean men are sexist jerks, but some extremists really find a way to twist the narrative into calling feminists “terrorists” when in fact women are just people who should not be held to a higher standard or be given restrictions.

      Sadly the problem is most feminists aren't doing enough for the people in villages. It's very hard to do so as well. So the changes made through feminism are still not accessible to the village woman nor are relevant to them. On the flip side feminism has made sure that most of the laws made are gender biased, which get used by a lot of women to exploit men. They will say they care about making men women equal but they will do nothing in real life. From rape laws to Sexual harrasment laws, dowry laws everything supposed to protect women are exploited by them. There are no consequences for false accusations either. The men who commit the real crimes are getting away by bribing people and innocent men are getting trapped in the laws made. Until corruption stops fair things won't happen anywhere.

      Well, the thing is in India so-called feminists do every kind of politics instead of feminism. That's why it is becoming more difficult to advocate feminism because as soon as you mention feminism the first thing that comes to mind of people is the image of these femininazis. They are working towards promoting more gender-biased laws and projecting females as a superior race. Man, they need to respect the other genders, they can't just project them as sh*t and expect them to promote their ideology. I remember once Miss Assam said, "I think feminism is an ideology that doesn't teach ladies first rather promotes one who needs it should go first." And I think this is exactly what feminism means. The actual meaning of feminism is getting lost in this woke world and that is what is causing the further drift in our society among males and females.

Saying things like "you should really stop wearing glasses and work on your eye makeup, it's making everyone in the office have a difficult time enjoying their work" there are ALWAYS exceptions but the Korean government is a boys club and everyone knows

      Wow that’s interesting. I thought that men don’t really touch women a lot in South Korea. For example couples don’t show much PDA over there. So I assumed that men don’t touch women especially if they are not a couple. Honestly I would rather hear catcalls all day than be touched. You were lucky to be treated like this. From other foreigners experience I heard that Korean men don’t have a lot of respect for foreign women (white or black or brown)

    I'm 16 years old Korean girl and I live in Seoul. It's really a complicated and sensitive problem in Korea. I can't even say it with my friends because I don't even know they are feminist or not. Based on internet, both side aggressively attacks one another, while hating each other. I'm not a faminist, and also not a opposite, and I think the nagative feeling of the public comes from their aggressive attitude and the way they attack each other. Some of them even say their mother or father (actually all man or woman) must vanish in the world. It's terribly irrational.... I feel like I am in an era of 'hate' where many youths hate each other everyday. I hope to live in a era of love and respect when I get older.
