I am with the 4S movement not 4B
4S over 4B
Link didn't work. But really, this was another redundant video. The key info about 4B and it's origins could have been covered in 5 minutes.
Hi team, just letting you know that the link doesn't work, the page says the domain has expired
When I came to Korea, I had basically only studied the Korean economy and didn't know much about Kpop or Kdramas. Maybe if you all share videos like this, people will stop fetishising you.
As soon as you start using words like 'radical' and 'extreme' (which the interviewer annoyingly does from the very beginning) you are showing your own bias, loading the debate and lose any pretence to objectivity. A woman wanting to make decisions about her own life is not a radical extremist.
Agree 100%
Not dating and having sex is very anti-human. You are denying yourself your basic human needs. Seems pretty radical and extreme to me.
It’s totally extremist
@@socialenigma4476 noo??

I am a Korean high school student. If people are aware that I have watched this video and agreed with her, my personal information (where I live, my school, etc.) will be spread through the Internet, and my face photo will be synthesized into a nude photo and will be sexually harassed. (My photo, which I have never posted on the Internet, is used without my consent.) Also, my family and I may be threatened with murder and be assaulted indiscriminately on the street.
A few months ago, a part-timer in a store was assaulted by a drunk man for having short hair and suffered permanent damage to her ear. He recognized her short hair as the Escape the Corset movement and assaulted an innocent woman, saying feminist should be hit.
That is why feminists cannot be seen in real life in Korea. It is very dangerous to be identified as feminist unless it is a place where only women or social media like Twitter where anonymity is guaranteed. Certainly, the 4B movement doesn't come up in reality. But the statistics show that marriage and birth rates continue to fall. These days, domestic violence continues to be more brutal in Korea, and young women are reluctant to date men. The 4B movement will spread more and more. Sentences can be awkward using a translator. I'm so happy that the 4B movement is known to the world. Thank you for reading a long article.
I am so very sorry that you have to live in this environment and with such opression.
You are not Korean. I lived in Korea. I saw professional women and actresses with short hair
@hmmm2564 I guess that you where in Korea when women having short hair was just viewed uncommon and new😢 These days people easily assume women in short hair as feminist and could be threatened by it. Even an Olympic gold medalist got harassed for her short hair by male netizens who suspected her as feminist. So sadly I have to agree with the main comment. Yes, it’s the worst-case scenario but it had happened and could again.
@@Lily____ce male neitzins existed then. Those are our incels and red pillers. And Korean women still wear short hair
@@hmmm2564 한남검거🤏
Just saw the Burning Sun BBC documentary and it answers so many questions about the South Korean government and society. Why on earth would a woman voluntarily bring life into a society where she is not respected, valued and protected? Where their perpetrators are let go with a slap on the wrist. Yeah, I'm not surprised to see the women in SK taking matters into their own hands for their survival.
They did for all of human history.... They WILL when societies protections and values disappear completely.
What about changing this with politics? SK is still a democracy?
@@vFNN You should read the comments made by the South Korean president about feminism during his election campaign. That will show you how bleak things are in SK.
@@BakaKageyamaBaka
Yeah so what? He isn't president for lifetime. #democracy Hate between generations solves nothing...
Because most women do it. You genuinely think all South Korean women end up in 4B category? If you lived in SK, only a fringe few are in 4B.
the way the interviewer acts, behaves, and talks is so telling. women deserve so much better.
Their culture is different from ours. We are not far behind since young couple are not pairing up and settling down.
These men are nothing but our servants 😂
😂 this is a completely normal interview, if this heats you up then you clearly have a problem.

I think men deserve better than toxic feminists.
The interviewer needs to stop interrupting the journalist. Dude, let her freakin’ talk!
Stfu hes not a journalist hes the ceo of this media company. Hes trying to make sure the bimbo stays on track and doesnt ramble on.
Also, talk to an actual feminist, not someone who thinks that someone who is no longer a feminist is now "okay", like... what kind of crazy nonsense of an "interview" was this... "let's get to conservatives together to completely minimize any concerns women have and make feminism look stupid"
He really demonstrates why women are understandably boycotting men

He interrupts her throughout and its super annoying.
@@LaurArt_UK yeah the interviewer needs to learn to pleae stop interrupting. Its tiring.
I am Korean and I will tell u wht u should know about the situation. The Korean government’s statistics indicate that even in dual-income families, women do 3-7 times more household and childcare labor than men. Even when women are the sole earners, they still spend about 100 more minutes on housework than their stay-at-home husbands. Most maternity leave is taken by women, leading to career interruptions that make it difficult for them to find good jobs later, often relegating them to part-time positions despite their education. Many young men in Korea remain hostile toward feminism and misogynistic, and expect women to balance work and domestic responsibilities. They don’t see household chores and child bearing as their job like their old generations did. Consequently, women do not feel they can expect equal, respectful or safe relationships with Korean men. While other factors contribute to declining birth rates, the primary reason Korean women choose not to date, marry or have children is due to the unfair burdens and disadvantages they face. They concluded being single is much happier and safer than engaging with Korean men. Generally, Korean women's intentions to engage in romantic relationships, marriage, and childbirth are much lower than men's. Korean women wouldnt say they are on 4b but they are actually practicing what 4b is abt. And its not minority but majority(korean women’s willingness to date, marry or give birth is only 20-30%).
Good for them I wish my country women soon realise this 👍👍
😢 actually, i do not know the final object of getting married for what?
As a Korean man, I support your opinion. Please, don’t marry and keep both of sexs safe and free. That’s the best way for both genders
from many of my friends who are married with kids, women are quite stuck after they married and have kids. their lives are no longer theirs, like slave, need to do the housework, take care of both side parents, take care of all shitty matters of the kdis, plus need to go out work to supplement household income. Now, The world population is too much, it is old thinking that humans must procreate and born more, as it will make kids lives hard later as well, we now need to fight harder for resources. It will be nice people can just enjoy their this life and not bother with kids, family and stuffs just because socities and some oldies say so, unless of course if they think is their life mission.
They must respect that women’s rights are human rights and stop hating women and violating their rights and freedom, by encouraging the talents and potentials of women in science, invention, arts, politics and literature..., rather than suppressing, marginalizing and imprisoning them between walls and isolating them from the world And stop treating them as housemaids, sex dolls and weeping machines, and let them know that raising children is basically the responsibility of the mother and father together, not one without or more than the other.
man let her talk! Also they way Korea disrespect women (like the interviewer does) is the reason of the 4B existence
Why is he always cutting her story 😅
Please include Chinese males, too. They buy North Korean women and do unthinkable things to them.
The reason women disrespect men is the reason incels and mgtow exists. How does that sound?
❤We must help those brave women to achieve their goals of zero fertility. Even negative fertility, like -1000. Actually, this feminist goal should be global goal. Fortunately, one country is mostly ready to help us all to achieve this noble goal. Unfortunately, evil Trump wants to stop it. But maybe Kamala and Biden are quick enough to start it. ❤
They aren't hurting others, their wish is to be on their own. They have rights and the freedom to choose what kind of life they want. I don't see that as radical. Is just a life choice, just as no eating meat is or no drinking alcohol.
It is an ideology - if that isn't radical enough...
Even it can literally kill a nation
As a Korean man i'll say we have our own movement, We will find brides from Japan and Philippines and other nations since our Korean women are falling for this western feminist nonsense.
the movement has like 4000 people most koreans dont care that they exist. incels and femcels exist
I mean, no one's belittling your choice to choose other women. Why do you feel entitled to belittle their life choices?
From my understanding, women in Korea rarely openly say they support the 4B movement because of safety. That's why when they are interviewed, they will always say it's the minority, smile politely and just do whatever they want (not dating, not having sex, not getting married & not giving birth with men that are misogynists)
It's like Fight Club
First rule of fight club, don't talk about fight club
Second rule of fight club, don't talk about fight club
Stay safe ladies
Oh yeah, as a woman I also never say the truth in the public like this. I wish we could all support each other in these ideas but being killed by a man for making my own decisions is a greater risk for me (at least in my country). I just smile and keep doing my own thing.
Contrary to what you say, I think the movement is indeed a minority. Indeed, let's not forget that South Korea is a country known for its big dating culture. Foreigners are sometimes surprised to see couples everywhere. If the 4B movement was so big, this wouldn't be the case
@@lonelyberg1808as a Korean woman, I must tell you it is not a small minority.
@@ll-nf2bs how
@@ll-nf2bs can you explain how ?
He was not the right person to conduct this interview, he is already biased, did not let her speak, obnoxious, and showing the same measly signs of a man who wants to lead a conversation but can’t. Didn’t even ask the right questions either.
Like it or not, this is how dialogue works. Someone who is ignorant and is *eager* to understand and someone who is speaking in generalities and niche references that *need* further explanation so there is no mistranslation. Of course, he's going to ask pointed questions so he's in-the-know and up to speed on all these correlating topics.
I came here looking for what the 4B's mean and I learned about declining populations in the Koreas, a stabbing incident, and several political movements but not what "4B's" literally means. 😂 Without interjection and mediation, we veer off topic very easily in conversation or debate.
A lot of men will come and defend anything that man does. So you can ignore
Here's an idea Brandy, create your own channel and interview her since you clearly think you could have done better.
@@susiex6669 girl stfu I said what I said. They would have turned the comments off if they didn’t care for people opinions now get to stepping ms SUSIE
He asked great questions, and didn't let her shift the goal post to a typical feminist prattle.
And it's his show.
I am first time listening an interview where host and other are treating word feminist as a terrorist group. 😂
How demanding equality is considered an offence, how deciding not to get married is seen as a radical activity.
If you don’t think the 4B movement is radical feminism then you’re brain dead.
I know right? Like living like an asexual woman is somehow radical and extremist.
Feminazis
Ewuality then why dont go buikd ur own house and toilet don ask men ..

@@debodatta7398 Dude, it's not the majority sentiment of Korean women. People of both sexes aren't marrying and having kids because of bleak future of the Korean economy.
@@debodatta7398 may be if you stop expecting your women to be a beauty doll, imposing all those inhuman beauty standards, and treat your women right, respect her a person and her choices, taking part in household chores and share the responsibility of bringing up children, practically be less "patriarchal" and be a supportive human to a fellow human in a relationship, Korean women might marry Koren men! Don't know what you guys will do to poor Japanese or Filipo girls, who are so fascinated by the "Korean oppa" dream, in the name of marriage!! May be it's you guys that pushed women to this extreme, else who wouldn't want love? especially women, who are brought up with dreams of love and marriage.
Using “gender war” “gender conflict” “getting tired of it” “probably looking for money or donations” is really telling a lot about the whole interview.
Well it is.
At least, they are Koreans who live in Korea.. who are you though?
@@user-cnksi223Stephen Park is not Korean lol he’s a Taiwanese hwagyo pretending to be Korean
he smells of sexism so
@@roxyglow9670he indeed is. He has in the past took down the video after SK men told him so because it was giving them a bad image (it was about Burning Sun from what I recall). He reuploaded with much more fake polished answers from Korean men. All to just save their face.
Wish you had let her talk and stop interrupting her so much.
Exactly
I was thinking the same thing.
He embarrassed himself with his inability to stop talking. Shame on you,
He's part of the "Interruption" movement. This movement was/is popular in America. It was started in 2016 by DJTrump 🤔
He so busy crafting the narrative for her he can’t just let her speak for herself. In court terms this is called leading the witness. I’ll try not to assume ill intent tho I haven’t seen his other interviews so I don’t know if he always does this or not.
Is was a very disrespectful interview. The woman handled it with grace. If I was her, I wouldn’t be finishing this mess. So so soooo disrespectful and unprofessional. Makes me think how the other female in Asian boss are treated… very disappointing
Yea, she probably pulled through to at least get the information out.
Why should they respect a misandrist movement?
@@JohnPopcorn06its not misandrist its just women leaving men alone. I thought you guys didnt want women to be with you..
@@mcrmakesmedance, who? you guys are just female incels.

Women making decisions for themselves is not 'radical feminism'. Using that term just shows what side you are on. Hint, it's the wrong one.
Yes, it's is
When those personal choices go against what has been common throughout human history (marriage, starting a family etc) it would be considered radical. However, using the term radical should not necessarily have negative connotations attached to it as you have suggested. The interviewee herself even agrees with him and labels these people as radical and extremists. Making choices for yourself does not automatically make it not radical. The people who ran planes into the twin towers did so as a personal choice/belief system, yet they are considered radicals. The people fighting for civil rights during the 60’s in the US were also labeled radicals, yet they were “good” radicals don’t you think? Yet they were only radicals/extremists because they went against societies norms at the time. I think your automatic assumption of the negative connotations with the word radical says more about it yourself than the person (interviewer) you’re attacking here. BTW, i agree with you that it is a personal choice and no one else should have a say in what these women decide to do with regards to sex, marriage, childbirth etc, yet I also see how this is in fact a radical movement.
@@Archchill I can agree with you in the context of chosen nomenclature. Yes, radical is defined as "different from the usual or traditional" but also as "extreme". I have a very hard time believing that those using the term "radical feminist" are not meaning it in a derisive or condescending way. It is often used to dismiss beliefs and equate them with destructive ideology. I could fully see this being a translation issue, since the negative connotation of the word may not properly be communicated.
It is not an extreme idea for women to be treated equally.
Bro, there are so many reasons behind the "making decisions for themselves" like, the women saying " let's kill whoever the man is, even though he's 1 year old baby". and so forth. it's crazy. Do you know Korean government even give any prostitute X amount of money? Just because of a woman? ridiculous. !!
The online community that started the b4 movement “megalia” is a radical feminist community.
I love y'alls videos and the work you do, but man was this one hard to watch. The constant interruptions of your guest, the immediate (and prevalent) use of a loaded term like "radical", and the non-stop changing direction and tangents breaking the flow of the conversation was frustrating. I feel like I didn't learn anything from this interview. I know you can do better, this was not it.
Right? I don't think it's a radical movement and saying so just seems very rude
@@pearl_heartsss How is it not radical? Anything that's terrible for society should be considered radical... sure we all want to live in a perfect world but it's never gonna happen when billions of lives are roaming around this planet.

@@edwardtimothy3581 You can’t force women to do something they don’t want to do.
@@pearl_heartsss NB for u to do anything tho. We just pointed out that what they do is radical
"I didn't learn anything" - You don't need to. You're already brainwashed with feminist propaganda.
I’m disappointed in this interview. It felt like a complete disparagement of feminism and the real dangers of misogyny in Korea. I live in Seoul and can safely say misogyny is still going strong here. Though the more radical aspects of the gender wars have died down, misogyny is nowhere near fixed or even better in any real way
I agree the journalist is not being critical enough of the situation and concentrating on her own narrative. Maybe they shld have done a bit more research. The birthrate is still plummeting whether or not you acknowledge the 4B movement.
i live in korea too and korea has a misandry issue not misogyny. the whole society is about women convenience. from safety to military service
@@kin-cz9vu That is arguably false. How about improving yourself?
how about improving yourself instead of fingpointing others. do you live in korea? do you know how it really is here? no, right? your only image of korea is distorted by korean feminists spreading the false image that korea is the worst country for women to live in. south korea in reality is a very safe, safer than most other countries. and all the plethora of conveniences for women is unmatched elsewhere. south korea isn't that good for men to live. all the pressure, military service and recent misandrist policy makes it way harder for men than women to live in korea.
If that was anything close to being true, there would not be 4 times more Korean men leaving the country and renouncing their citizenship than Korean women. Misandry is far more common and widely accepted in South Korea.
So interviewer is a reason for 4B movement
And you're a reason for incel movement 😂
I hope she gets interviewed again by someone who would let her finish! She sounds so intelligent and assured and intelligent and we didn't get the full effect of that. Very hard to watch but hopefully it's a learning lesson for the interviewer to not try to overshadow the speaker next go around.
What are you talking about? Men interrupt men, women interrupt women, women interrupt men and vice versa. Will you say it's mysogyny or something? It may be rude but he wasn't mean or anything. It seems that you are calling mysoginy for anything and everything. It's getting ridiculous

I'd love to hear her two to three reasons, why did the recording stop there? I wish you didn't interrupt her so much.
It basically comes down to the cost of living. It's too expensive to live, let alone raise a child
The rest is behind a paywall on their websites. But if you search online you will find a great number of articles detailing this. Search for "sampo generation, Korea, birthrate.
bro could you stop interrupting her i want to hear what she has to say and mf jumps in with another tangential question please

Can’t stand interviewers who don’t let their guests speak.
I don't see one of those here. I see a guy throwing in the occasional comment to make sure the interviewee doesn't wander off the point, and to clarify things for the audience who, as he said, might not get what she means.

@@Al.N2 Man, I can't imagine the snit you get into when you have a conversation.
This was really frustrating to watch. Had to stop at 18:08 and write this comment for my own sanity.
First of all, Bokyoung Kim (the female reporter) said at some point that sexual harassment and inequality is a serious issue in Korea (14:51). But based on the conversation, they're trying to say that the feminists are "extremist" and "radical fringe movements" by trying to address inequality. Kim mentions right away that the women have a reason for not wanting children or getting married (it's too expensive, unaffordable housing, "and the childcare they need to undertake even when they're working" 3:00), but no the 4B movement is just too extremist and radical. They also implied that the politicians reacted to two of their own being found guilty of sexual harassment by completely shutting down talk of equality and standing with women (50% of their constituency that rightfully feel unsafe).
I also feel like you guys were downplaying some really serious things. Organized revenge porn?? If I found out that men were recording women having sex with them after going on dates and then blackmailing them for money, I also would be really afraid and hesitant to go on dates and having sex. It's reasonable to say no sex no dating after something like that. It seems like you guys (especially Stephen Park, the male interviewer) were on the wrong side of this issue and showed little empathy for the women that experienced crimes against them. The way the interviewer was trying to frame this issue by saying "is there some truth to it that the liberal party policy benefitted too much of women?" (14:26) But what policies?? You guys didn't talk about any policies. Did politicians actually do anything or did they just talk about doing something. It seems like some men felt hurt and the politicians exploited this and swept some serious crimes under the rug. Some things you guys can't be objective and fair about. Wtf
I understand that Korean men felt hurt that women feel unsafe around them and felt like they were being treated like criminals. But the women are experiencing much more serious things that need to be addressed. Revenge porn, gender motivated stabbing, and sexual harassment. Yet the politicians chose these men's feelings over women's safety (Yes I know, not all men) and chose to do nothing. The mysogyny and inequality is staring them right in the face, yet they still think the women's movements are being unreasonable.
Two politicians found guilty of sexual harassment and then they don't want to do their jobs and help women (again 50% of the population) who are experiencing revenge porn. Did the politicians release any policies outlawing revenge porn? That's what I wanted to know. But in the end you guys just started talking about both sides criticizing each other and politicians being afraid. It seems to me like the politicians are afraid of also being found having committed sexual harassment by the media/political opponents. They're really telling on themselves here. But they have a responsibility to their citizens. Like I said, Kim mentioned that these women do have a point and there is serious inequality in Korea.
This is a systemic issue. This didn't just begin in 2016 and I hope that Korea deals with this and starts moving toward equality. But seriously, Asian Boss, downplaying revenge porn and blackmailing, wtf? Based on what you guys mentioned, the 4B movement isn't "radical" at all. Based on what you guys said, not only is it really expensive to have kids, women also feel unsafe (as they should because politicians don't want to do their jobs and they're getting revenge porned). My heart goes out to the Korean ladies (and men and NB people who experience sexual harassment, sexual assault, abuse, and revenge porn). Stay safe out there, peeps.
Last point and then I'm gonna go: the feminist movement for equality in South Korea is sorely needed and I hope they come back stronger and better organized. I'm really fascinated by feminism in Korea (or women's issues as a whole) and I'd love to hear more from actual good reporting (not this BS). If anybody has any suggestions, please comment them to me. Thank you!
Irene from red velvet once got alot of backlash from knetizens because she read a feminist book and I’ve watched/researched enough on Nth room, burning sun, deepfakes, domestic abuse on foreigner/SK wives(even if they report, the police won’t do anything), to know that the “oppa” image can just sometimes be a fantasy and not all SK guys are Prince Charming.
Thank you for taking the time writing this comment tht i strongly agree with u highlighted most important parts of the video thank you .
Well said. I couldn’t stand how the interviewer kept interrupting her also, at some parts I get that he wanted to ask for clarification for the international audience, and that’s fine. But at other parts I’m like. Dude, let her finish 😅 but oh well. Gender equality is still a long long way to go 😢
Im glad these comments called it out instead of promoting his ideologies !!!
Also there is incomplete info about the revenge pron situation, like in the Nnth room case. I f you watched the cyber hell documentary about the Nnth room, it is more than revenge porn and they catfish women promising job or saying their account stolen to steal sensitive information. Then, using that info to blackmail them for sexual exploitation. Also, the age of the women and girls in that case was a s young as 8, which means pedophilia was involved. I just wanted to clear that out because it bothered me that they only said 'ahh yeah revenge porn,' NO IT IS MORE THAN REVENGE PORN AND IT IS HORRIBLE!!!!

You did cut her in the middle more than a few times.

The ability to think logically, practically and rationally is close to dead, all what matters is feelings, emotions and the great I, me, myself and I
As a journalist and a founder of a media platform, using 'radical' or 'extremist' to describe the feminist movements mentioned in the video seems extremely unprofessional in the global sense.... while the interview as a whole seemed unbiased and informational, words like these usually give the situation a negative connotation.
No media channel is unbiased. It only hurts the viewers when the bias goes against their own.

But this isn't a uniquely women thing in Korea, even the comments from men are speaking about how it's more cuz of living expenses and societal stressors. Pushing all the blame to one side wont really fix the problem

These women are not extremists, they are trying to survive a very hostile environment. They have their reasons.
There's less than 5 countries where women can feel safe walking alone at night. Korea is one of them. You're just one of those that gets easily brainwashed when 1-2 bad things happen.
They are extremists sadly. But guys really don't care whether feminists support 4b.
Most normal guys are too busy to date normal girls to care about people from some internet communities
The feminist movement is natural selection. Feminist genes are inferior, therefore they are not selected and have decided to not spread their cancerous genes to future generations. 4B all the way!
Afghanistan is a very hostile environment. South Korea is far from perfect but lets not exagerate here. Id sooner live there than a long list of other countries on this planet.
"These women are not extremists" They are. Feminism is a terr()rist movement, and has always been sine its inception.

I know he makes it so cheap, this whole interview is an insult to brave women, who at a time held or still hold views that are yes, a bit tight, but it was a beginning, also, he talks about her friend, we do not know the context of that conversation. Maybe they talk about having sex with her boyfriend while still studying, but I think that would be wrong to do, bc that would out you in risk of not finishing your career due to pregnancy or due to being murdered by a physcho, who knows how that conversation really went. I’m married, but I married into my 30’s and I think marriage truly stinks, marriage is a financial entity and this is the BASIS of what marriage is, the one person who makes ALL THIS POSSIBLE IS THE WOMAN in the marriage, this is one of the reasons why many societies did not want to accept gay marriages, bc from the financial point of view, without children in it, without the traditional EXPLOITATION OF WOMEN within marriages, it will not work as it has always been. Men are leeches and we women provide the blood, so no wonder leeches want women to stay available as easy prey forever. I say, if you are young, try to have sex in the safest possible way, but if you can, DO NOT HAVE SEX, DO NOT MARRY AND DO HAVE CHILDREN, specially until you have your own money, your career and you have reached your goals. Do not take the pill and sleep around, you might have some “fun” but in the long run, men are just leeches, they TAKE MORE THAN THEY GIVE in such situation, and in marriage too, so, truly, if you can, avoid all of the above, but for this to work well for women, we need more and more women on board, of course each should be FREE to do whatever fits them, including having as much sex as each want, getting married and having hopefully zero kids or just a few, bc the world has not resources for so many humans, but the better way is for a young woman, to no have sex (maybe only make love if you find the right person to make love with, which is difficult again, bc men are leeches and to make love, you need to GIVE, but many men only know how to TAKE) the better way for a single woman is to have no children and the better way for a married women is to have no children or very very few in any case. In the long run, you will see, that society had brainwashed you, pressured you and indoctrinate you to be THEIR SLAVE, THEIR BLOOD SUPPLY and that all you got was a bunch of unfullifing and unpleasant moments, full men who are idiots and violent or simply horrible people and full of women who are envious, bitter, evil and who support the system as it is and never really tell the young generation THE TRUTH of being a woman on this earth.

@@debodatta7398 I've listened to more korean girls and they've all said it's a very small percentage of women who act radical like that. You'd probably find the same percentage in any other random country. Although I agree with you that Koreans in general shifted towards western (US) mindset in many things, like having tattoos for example, but I think it's gonna be the same as with this 4B movement and it is temporary and people will grow out of this phase like she said.. seems very likely to me at this point. Especially when US will lose the dominance it had and instead people will focus more on China.
@@debodatta7398 no one cares
Since when are you a radical feminist if you simply take personal life choices in a free society???
It's not like they are saying "women should". They say "I will not do XY."
So where is the problem?
If a man does "no-fap-november" or if anyone goes on a diet, are they radical, too???
No fap November is definitely radical and also has a high fail rate.
It's because they hate the fact that they need a woman. Oppression is the only way they know.
This movement will make sure that their disgusting legacy and values won't be passed to the next-gen. Only good men will get access to women and their future generations.
This is exactly the point. It's free-will until it affects men then it's radical.
From what I understood is the movement came to be as a way to send a message that women want their choices heard and that they have their rights too in a society where there are men and women.
I guess Korean women are not used to fight for their rights, so when they do they see it as an exaggerated behaviour.
Being selfish and destroying korean society as a result.

He is a misogynist. He made excuses for the attacker to show that women were overreacting. That misogyny isnt real, it was just a 1 in a billion accident by a mentally ill person. He said men were the ones being hurt and discriminated against by the feminist. That somehow, a men being told "no" by women, is more serious than women being killed by men just for existing.
Maybe the women started the movement in response not just to the killer, but media like this reinforcing his central viewpoint as a "reasonable" expectation that women owe dating and sex to men. We don't, and when it angers men to hear us assert right over our own body, even though we want to date, all the red flags go up regarding that angry man.

Obviously the interviewer need to learn how to control his hands, his mouth, and his impulse to interrupt a woman.
I don't see anything wrong with the way he interrupted her. Most of the time he did it was to ask her questions so that the audience understands better the context
He did it while she was in the middle of explaining and he often changed the focus.
For instance, at 4:42 she is explaining herself and says “I think they” and he goes on to “so they caught him”. This is dismissing her thought process and not allowing her to develop more on her thoughts.
It is also a new piece of info he is looking for while she is still explaining her previous answer.
This happens several times. It’s not just the normal interview interruptions for clarification and to keep things on topic. It’s an urge to rush her.
I’ve seen him do this a few times and the last time was to another Asian woman as well. Just an observation.
I so agree.
"Obviously the interviewer need to learn how to control his hands, his mouth, and his impulse to interrupt a woman." - No.
Actually a woman needs to taught how to not be a feminist idi()t.

As a Korean-American woman, I would never apologize for being a “radical” feminist. If I was living in S. Korea, I’d definitely fit the “4B” description. Yes I’m into K-beauty (especially skincare), and I like to dress in a feminine way. However, it’s for myself, not to attract men. Also, true feminism is about gender equality, not hating men. Even in the U.S., there is a gender wage gap. Globally, there are too many women and young girls who are mistreated (abused, assaulted, raped, etc.) or even killed for superficial reasons by men. Clearly, it’s wrong and unacceptable. If women don’t stand up for other women, who will?

Stephen this is one of your worst interview. Your biais came just 5 min right in the video WoW
This episode has put me off Asian Boss completely. This host is so biased, the hints and steering the conversation in a quite anti-feminist direction. Movements don't grow out of the fringe unless large groups see some truth in them. It's the broader fundamental issues of inequality that resonate with the majority that gives movements momentum.
"This host is so biased" - No, the host is actually very realistic.
You have absolutely no clue about this topic. Radical toxic feminism in Korea has nothing to do with equality and is all about hate. If you knew about them, you would think differently.
This channel is biased. Even when he was interviewing an Indian person (who now prolly is an Indian American), he didn't listen to other side of the story.
This dude and his interruptions is why 4B movement got started. 😂
Don't get it twisted. 4B movement was birthed out of a bad economy.
Why do people even care? Seems like it should be up to each person themselves to decide if they want to have sex or kids. If some people don’t want that it should be their right to not date or have kids.
Incels are mad they can't get laid.
Thank you not everyone should have kids. Hopeful this movement weeds all the bad eggs in both genders.

I am from Brazil, women are now realizing that being married, dating, having sex, getting pregnant aren't what they want for their lives because of violence against them from their partners, I believe that quite soon 4B moviment will be part of our societ too.
This "interview" it's trash. They didn't talked about the numbers on gender violent, they did a very crappy job at "explaining" the Nth room, the "so, she's okay now" when she said the female friend is marry now, everything was disgusting and made very clear where Korean patrichy stand.
The topic was about 4B, they stuck to the topic.
Not only the interviewer, but the interviewee too is trivializing and derogating the cause behind the movement. She seems to come from a privileged background so much so that she can be safe from any male violence anytime any day and he just can't wrap his head around the idea how women can want to be free from men's company and marrying men and giving birth to children in any situation.
In lot of the comments here, people wrote he was interrupting her, which I didn't find to be a major thing after watching the video. But it's definitely like he intentionally called such an interviewee who would trivialize and negatively criticize the movement and together they would call the women choosing 4B as radical, extremists etc.
It's very cheap of him (and her too, for agreeing with him) to assume the driver of this movement is donation and money.
It's heartbreakingly sexist and inhumane of them to discuss the impact of female-centric policies on males but then not discuss the anti-gender equality politics of the conservative PPP party on women.
Lastly, it's very extremist to write 4B movement to be an infamous one. It's very famous among the women who know about this. By calling it infamous, they are viewing it from the perspective of toxic and entitled man-children, which is a shameful POV for a channel expected to be neutral and unbiased.
Bro.. you know nothing about Korea.😂 American...
@@user-cnksi223 Sis, it's true I don't know much about Korea. I am not American btw. But are you Korean? And a woman? If yes, tell me why do you find my comment ignorant?
1. Most Koreans don’t even know what the 4b movement is.
This came from a Korean internet community, but the general public doesn't even know what it is. Rather, I am just surprised at how the Western world can be interested in and influenced by Korea's small Internet community these days.
2. Korean men generally support the non-marriage ideology of radical feminists active on the Internet. In the first place, Korean men don't even want to date them.
3. Americans tend to preach not only to Korea but also to other foreign countries under the illusion that they know better than the locals.
But if you get the chance, come to Korea. The streets are full of couples. I have lived in the United States, Europe, Japan, and the Philippines, but there is no country other than Korea where there are so many couples on the streets.
@@user-cnksi223 Look I agree the western media cherry-pick many things from Asian, middle-eastern, African countries and then show their own narratives and oftentimes that creates a false picture of the people of these countries to the western people so much so that they act upon it and discriminate and harass people from these countries when they visit the western countries.
But here I don't agree that any of the Western media showed the 4B movement to their people or the people of the world. Instead, this movement got known to people through social media, I got to know about it through social media, and it's one of the greatest thing I have known, ever.
But this is exactly the reason the mainstream media, be it Western, Asian or from other places, won't show it, at least not as it is. Here I can see this independent UA-cam channel (AsianBoss) also chose to demonize and derogate it, mostly, and it doesn't even have the reach the mainstream media has. Do you know why? Because it's tremendously popular among the women who came to know about it, and it'll be popular to all the laywomen, and the people controlling the society and hence media don't want that to happen. Because it'll fuel the crumbling of the current patriarchal structure of our society, and harm the powerful, and they obviously don't want that.
Two such exact kind of things that I remember happening in my country was also suppressed in a similar way. Some people were experimenting with distributing UBS (universal basic income) to all the adults of some villages modelled for an experiment, and the result showed an increased focus on education, health care, children care and yes, women's emancipation in terms of separation from men and in-laws and divorce. Immediately after that the researchers were stopped from circulating the experiment to public because the powerful men don't want their wives to divorce them and in general, they don't want women to be financially independent starting from their adulthood, so they stopped the process even if UBS could have liberated everyone, men, women.
Another incident I know is a spiritual movement where women who didn't want to marry were encourage to come to a shelter and choose a life of spirituality away from men, away from the expectations of marriage, motherhood, domestic, sexual, emotional labor under the patriarchal system. A violent mob literally broke those shelters, beat the women there and file cases in the courts.
So yeah, mainstream and not-so-mainstream media are only out there witch-hunting a movement like 4B. It's the women in social media that try hard to spread the news to other women in need.
@@user-cnksi223 fr🤣 these "foreigners" don't know nothing but yapping.
4B sounds similar to Gandhi's noncooperation movement. All they're doing is choosing not to participate. When you label them as 'radical feminist' they sounds dangerous and violent. It's not a fair characterization.
I agree with you
Wow never though of it that way it makes sense😮
The interviewer is trying to portrait the B4 movement of brave Korean women in BAD LIGHT. You can read his facial expressions when he hears what the women were trying to denounce, also for about 40 % the interview he was cutting his guess of, interrupting, DOMINATING the conversation, etc. He show no sympathy nor understanding for how WRONG Korean society treats women and how much Asian society protects ABUSERS and MISOGYNISTS. He should have expressed his admiration towards those brave women who tried to organize themselves and find ways to PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM WOMEN’S HATERS, ADMIRABLE KOREAN WOMEN WHO TOOK ACTION TO CHANGE THEIR MISERABLE SITUATION AS VULNERABLE INDIVIDUAL IN A SOCIETY THAT PROTECTS MEN AND GIVE POWER AND CONTROL ONLY TO MEN.
Apparently, you are not so different from those woman hating misogyny while youself were a misandrist who is hating on man. That doesn't show any sign of equality at all
Yeah, it's his show and he can do whatever he wants. Your feminist tone-policing is very low-IQ.
You clearly don’t know a thing about this country and just assume those women are justified feminists. Toxic feminism in Korea openly espouses make misandry. And your conception of Korean society is terribly marred by groundless prejudice. This country is not nearly as sexist or misogynistic as you think. Your words are oversimplified and over sensationalist.

Toxic societal expectations (shamed for not staying home/keep working etc), potential toxic in-laws, little to no social help, economics, and the numerous in and outs of being a woman.
Mothers should stay at home to care for children. The alternative is expensive daycare.

It is such a shame the opportunity for the society to change and become safer was ignored and instead the young men became radicalised to the right. It really was a chance for men to support each other to treat women in a more healthy way. Being scared to have a relationship with men is not the same as not wanting to.

@@DieNibelungenliad Society - especially men - should stop expecting children and the work that comes with them to be a given. By the way, daycare doesn't have to be that expensive at all. The fact that daycare is expensive is a political decision and not a law of nature.

Children also benefit in terms of their school performance and social skills when mothers go to work. This is empirically proven. Stop trying to patronize women in their decisions!

Interesting topic but the continuous interruptions of the interviewer make the video impossible to watch: LET THE WOMAN TALK, guy !!!!! He demonstrate perfectly the reason why many Asian women just want to be let alone !!!
I'm a Korean woman. It can be awkward because I used a translator. The perception of feminism in Korea is serious. They mock women who claim to be feminists. They praise women who claim to be not feminists as being smart. They claim that women don't work and rely only on men. However, when a woman makes a man do housework, the man insults it as a "man who washes the dishes." Punishments for sexual violence and sexual harassment have not been done properly. However, they claim that the law is reverse discrimination, saying that unfair men occur because they only believe in the victims' stories. In fact, the biggest reason why women quit their jobs is sexual harassment and sexual harassment. However, gags about women's fighting spirit make it difficult for men to work. They claim that "pretty women don't do feminism" and criticize feminists for their appearances and bodies. Regarding crimes using deepfakes, they claim, "You are not pretty, so you will not suffer." Please help. They really believe that they are being treated less than women.

You don't need to watch this misandry. Let us pray those brave women achieve their goals of zero fertility. Let us pray to achieve a negative fertility, like -100 or maybe -1000. One country in the world is on its way to achieve this goal for all of us. Unfortunately, evil Trump wants to stop it, but maybe Biden and Kamala will be quick enough to help those poor but brave and independent women to achieve their goals ❤
He is doing man explaining ALL the time, I fee u
Exactly he is using....radical.,. extreme....he is forcing his views
There was a twitter/X thread from a Korean woman that went viral around the time this video was uploaded I think, and it said not to believe what men says about the 4B movement, and that Korean women would be afraid to talk even slightly positively about the movement, in fear of being branded as a feminist, which in current times in Korea means that it would put a target on her.
The news linked in the thread alongside the misogynistic firing & targeted harrasment of women in the Korean games industry that I knew about beforehand + molka + the recent news of men from the burning sun scandal walking freely right now makes me think that South Korea actually has so many issues that make women there feel unsafe. I genuinely can understand if they support this movement based on those information.
Unsubscribed to this channel because I feel it didn't explain it well at all. The people seem like they didn't actually dive deep into this topic, it only seems biased.
Twitter is hotbed for korean feminists so you cant really get neutral info.
said by radical feminist
twitter full of misandry femcel
Lol 🤣 . Go visit Korea instead of believing people from behind their avatars
Those "people behind avatars" included links to actual news which informed me as I've said. Also, if you search for videos explaining this issue on UA-cam now, you can find others that are way better than this video, and that actually interviewed experts on gender issues + feminist movements in Korea.
And honestly, why would I visit Korea as a woman after hearing all those things? Not very good marketing for tourism LOL
@@99syl I have seen them.plus the many more Korean women denying the 4b popularity
I love how many times he interrupts her as she’s explaining.
There is so much misogyny in the US as well, hopefully 4B movement can come here and increase equality for women
nah. it's the opposite. rampant misandry

"The primary causes of low birth rates are more economic and social rather than ideological, emphasizing housing affordability and childcare challenges."
And why don't women in a wealthy environment have more children if this mainstream statement were true?
Yeah, and the poorer the economical status of the parents, they will likely have more children than wealthy people?
They definitely have more children than Korean women.
capitalism and housing crisis
there is a stark difference between families not having the economic ability to have their first child vs wealthy families choosing to have more children.
the lack of something does not logically translate to the surplus of the same thing if conditions were to be met 🤣
Just because someone can afford to buy more cars doesn't mean they will, similarly, the ability to have more children doesn’t mean families will choose to do so
What do you mean by "wealthy enviroment"?
The GDP of a country can put it in the "wealthy" category, but that doesn't mean that the average person enjoys a particularly wealthy lifestyle where the costs of living are small compared to their income.
Interested why everyone labels this as a "women's movement" when literally millions of Korean men are choosing the same exact thing? If anything, this is just the general trend in Korea
You guys mention that you're uncomfortable with the interviewer interrupting the woman and projecting his biases, but as someone living in SK, I actually find it surprising how patient he is in letting her talk about feminism.
Here, even mentioning feminism is practically taboo, almost like it's considered illegal.
A woman openly discussing feminism? It's basically suicide😂
The interviewer comes across as condescending, constantly interrupting her and speaking over her. He disregards her responses, often inserting his own words as if they were more appropriate. If you're looking for a negative example of how not to conduct an interview, this is it."
Great Movement!
All women around the world should consider this.
What's stopping you from being single? Breakup with your bf. If you hate men that much.
Then I would call this a death cult of weak depressed people pretending to care about other women, while nature revolves around endurance, durability, strength and continuity. Mother nature will tell most of these young women they are going to sorely regret their choice when they hit the age they cannot conceive children anymore. It is wicked and deceptive.
@dy578 it's not about hating men 🙄
But how men are preferred in avery aspect and u as a woman always takes the short end in everything.
U get 0 benefits. It's very much unfair
Why would in a modern society still be the standard from the past anyway???
@@dy578 4B does not encourage hatred of men. Only those 4 items. You can still be friends with men and respect them.
@@dy578 Noone asked your suggestion. F off
unfollowed because asianboss dude finally showed his misogynistic bias
How about you eff-off to another one of those estrogenic prattling channels?
And you showed your misandrist bias.
@@ridhamatri9447 keep quiet...ewww
@@ridhamatri9447 says one angry misogynist, who actually desperately wants acceptance, approval, and love. "pick me, love me, admire me".
@@poolmoorang both of you are miserable people ....so quick to put each other in a stereotype, category, boxes etc
So it's a war if humans chooses to not get married or have kids? So it's a war to do whatever you want with your life? Good grief. Have kids if you want to, can afford to, found the partner to have a family with and have the support to take care of them.
Not to have kids, no dating, no sex and marriage should not be considered as “radical feminist”. This is woman’s choice in their life. It has nothing to be feminist at all.
All the men say it’s about housing, cost of living, money… the way they treat women? No way that could be causing the fertility rate to drop😮 lol.
It is a major factor
My takeaway in this interview is both interviewee and interviewee trivializes the 4B Movement. It didn’t really make me understand the root of the issue (historical, psychological, socioeconomic, political, emotional) that drove these women towards 4B. Based on this interview, SK society has gotten over it and “radical feminism” is just a societal nuisance.
Because it is not a big movement in South Korea
omg what an awful interviewer, kept interrumpting her and completely unequipped for a non biased political interview
The 4B movement is built on pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Mr. Park, please bring up korean peoples' opinion about Burning Sun Documentary that was released by BBC World News a few days ago.. Thank you
There is a shortened English version and two longer versions, Korean and Chinese. There are many comments in the Korean version that can be translated, I really recommend it.
Burning sun was already hot issue in Korea few yrs ago. BBC brought it up suddenly, maybe for views?
Anyway most Koreans think Seungri should be punished more ofc
No one in Korea cares about some incident that happened 5 years ago and no one in Korea cares about radical feminism that happen 6+ years ago except westerners and non-Koreans who are obsessed for some odd reason
I am so disappointed. They were downplaying the nth room case too... Not mentioning that a lot of minors were involved! Not women but girls! Girls in high school! Not mentioning Burning Sun either! And these are just the big cases I am aware of! They are downplaying the situation! 4B is not radical! Not extremist! Women just want to be safe! I am a foreigner and even I can understand that!!!
This would have been a good interview IF HE WOULD LET HER TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly, agree 100%
I don’t think 4B should be considered “radically feminist” , it’s women not wanting to date or have children due to safety, poor treatment, and finances. These are bare minimum aspects of being a human being. Why is it considered extreme but men sleeping atttacking women or sleeping with hundreds of women is not extreme?
I feel sorry for women who get married and have children. I can't think of a worse fate.
What about those who have sex?
Why not have a woman on that’s actually apart of the movement, and not someone that can’t really articulate what the real issue is
And keep the interrupting interviewer?
terrible interviewer
He's actually good.
Let her speak! Women who are sick of limited choices and a unforgivingly rigid culture are not radical, they are fed up! This isnt just happening in SK and it will not get better until women are treated better.
