Regardless of whether this is true or not
I just think that Korean men don’t actually want to be obedient, but rather want a relationship of “respect for each other.”
ObedienceːJong 2, 順從
noun
to obey obediently
But the word obedience does not have a good meaning at all in this day and age. No matter how much of a mess Korean feminism is, the global standard is equality and human rights. In times like these, if you use expressions like obedience openly, it’s easy to be misunderstood.
Personally, it’s a bit unfortunate that Korea is a country with the strongest passport in Asia than I thought. Indexes such as the Women’s Absolute Rights Index (undp gii) published by the UN have already ranked the country in the 1st or 2nd place in Asia and the top 10 in the world since the 2010s, and the number of women’s organizations is surprisingly large compared to the population. Moreover, it is a well-known fact that the feminist craze that has swept through Korean society since the 2000s is a known fact.
But ironically, Korea’s external image is one of hatred of patriarchy and discrimination against women. This is because the stronger a country is, the more women’s issues are discovered, highlighted, and cause an uproar. Also, during this period, Korea became internationally known. Of course, it is an ironic situation that Korea is perceived as a country that discriminates against women due to feminism and international attention.
In this situation, it is natural that the expression ‘obedient’ gives an even worse image to the bad stereotype about Korea. However, the public opinion that Japanese women in Korea = obedient has not yet become an international issue.
conclusion
Korean men just want a woman they can respect
The expression ‘obedient’ may cause misunderstanding internationally.
Let’s not forget that Korean feminists are much greater and more amazing than we think.
