Feminism has taken root in South Korea's political and media landscape for several years.

Carried by the Metoo wave, the country has partly evolved.

However, in some men, a counter-attack is organized.

They believe that gender equality has already been achieved and that radical feminism is about to take power.

Whether on the internet, in the streets, in the political or economic spheres, the voice of the “masculinists” is gaining ground.
