Q: What do you think about the "me-too" movement in South Korea?
Eunmi (arrived in 2014)
If "me-too" starts in Korea, then there would endless complaints. The workplace is terrible for women here. An organized campaign would result in so many confessions that business in Korea would probably have to shut down and the entire economy might be at risk.
I wish the "me-too" movement would spread to North Korea, and especially I wish that Kim Jong-un could be prosecuted. The Kim family has been using North Korean women for decades. Unlike the USA, women in North Korea can't fight back easily and of course Kim Jong-un can use as many women as he wants without the media reporting anything bad about him.
Eunbee (arrived in 2012)
I recently read about the "me-too" movement. I don't know about it in detail. Based on what I have read, I agree with it. I believe that this type of thing needs to happen around the world. There are so many people using their power and money over others.
It can hurt people trying to establish themselves in their careers when they get taken advantage of by such dirty people. A great thing about South Korea and other countries is that women have freedom of speech to speak out to fight back. They should continue doing so, I support them.
Lee Chol (arrived 2012)
I heard about "me-too" recently. I was surprised that such a thing would be happening in the USA for so long. I am a man, but I have no sympathy for those powerful people who have gotten caught abusing women. Misbehavior cannot be allowed and those who force others into sex or even rape them should be punished. So I'm happy to see those people are in trouble.
I also want to say that the "worst" me-too is in places like China and North Korea. So many North Korean women are sold into sex slavery, sold off to farmers. They can't go to the media or police to talk about crimes against them and no one there loses a job when they get caught.
