The situations aren't really comparable. Yes, there has been a noticeable uptick of intra-gender conflict and discourse in South Korea for the last 5 years. But I'd rank it as a minor factor in the general marriage and childcare apathy or inability. As for the conflicts themselves, the starting conditions and challenges for both gender roles are very different from the West, and Korea's feminism is also not the West's feminism. (I'm not Korean, but I've lived there for some years, can communicate in the language and read the news, and am married to a South Korean citizen with a child on the way; the latter is one of the reasons we moved away.)
