Wouldn't military service be a factor too? It's 2 years and only for males.

- petre 3y agoOne could postpone it for a few years but who knows. Korean society is highly paternalistic and there's a lot of pressure on women. A novel by Kim Jiyeong called Born 1982 goes into details. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Ji-young,_Born_1982 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Ji-young,_Born_1982
- StefanBatory 3y agoI do still wonder how much military service plays into this. I imagine a strong ressentment from men towards woman for that; and the hierarchical structure endured there and abuse can't help too.
