Following President Yoon Suk Yoel's declaration of martial law in December 2024, young South Korean women were at the forefront of mass protests demanding accountability and highlighting ongoing gender inequality. During Yoon's presidency, he amplified anti-feminist, far-right voices, claiming South Korea had no systematic sexism, defunded government bodies supporting gender equality, and appealed to far-right men who believed in "reverse discrimination." What began as hope following his impeachment, turned into disappointment when women saw no female candidate for President and little focus on gender issues in the 2025 election. Women now feel overlooked in a country where discrimination, sexual harassment, and violence against them has long been an issue and the gender pay gap is the largest among rich nations.
