I've heard about the recent movement, but have no idea what the backstory is. Why are women so upset in south Korea?

Women lose the ability to have a career as soon as there's a hint of a boyfriend. Employers check. They're expected to become mothers, and dedicate their life to taking care of their children, husband and household, while not really having any say in it.

It's even worse than that. There's a lot of sexual harassment and a plague of men taking upskirt photos.

Is this prevalent in Korea too? I had always heard it was more of a Japanese cultural issue, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was present in other countries in the region/world.

It's even more of an issue in Korea these days.

I wonder what protections they have. Japan has been fighting a similar thing and upping protections and their enforcement, but it's still not where it needs to be.
