How are they anti feminist? Tbh this is the first I’ve heard of SK being conservative.

Long story short:

Feminism and women empowerment are shunned in South Korea. They blame their low birth rates on feminism. The current president also doesn't like feminism.

And there are a lot of incels in South Korea and some people frame it as a literal gender war.

Articles online explain it better.

Is it dangerous to be a woman? What about trans women / trans rights in general? Is there access to gender affirming care? What about reproductive healthcare and abortion? I’m honestly shocked. I never hear about this side of SK in the US news.

Ok so yeah. South Korea is basically just Samsung. Lovely. The narrator was right: this is some cyber punk dystopian bullshit if I’ve ever seen it.
