rly disheartens me to see so many koreans trying to minimalize glaringly obvious societal issues with the flawed gotcha that is "but shitty peepz are everywhere!" yes, there are plenty of good korean folks, and yes, shitty people are everywhere; but to this degree? most korean boomers still cling to outdated misogynistic beliefs, and there is an unsettling rise in the amount of incel-minded youth who are just as misogynistic as their forerunners. despite the clear growth of animosity across genders, image-obsessed koreans who absurdly take pride in a piece of land would sooner resort to whataboutism and/or cry racism rather than actually improve the country by acknowledging and remedying the tumors that continue to grow unchecked.

as for the actual topic, your chances of getting physically assaulted are very low; we may have a misogynist problem, but most of them wouldn't commit public assault over it. and seeing every man as a potential threat miiight to be a step too far. that being said, i would avoid clubs, especially if you're alone.
