‘Men don’t know why they became unhappy’: the toxic gender war dividing South Korea

In South Korea, a troubling incident highlights the deep-rooted issues of toxic masculinity and gender-based violence. A woman named On Ji-goo faced aggression from a young man while working late at a convenience store, reflecting a broader societal problem where men struggle with their emotions and express anger in harmful ways. This situation is a stark reminder of the challenges women face in a society grappling with misogyny, and it raises important questions about how other countries can learn from South Korea's experiences in addressing these issues.
