It sounds as if South Korea is advancing rapidly towards the same social decay that is to be found in the United States, based on disordered social relations. From the Western Confucian, A Seoul City Councilman Speaks Hard Truths. (Link originally from The Marmot's Hole.)

Will this process be accelerated in Korea, and what will be the consequences upon Korean society? In Anglo-Saxon countries, what remains of Christianity's influence and Western notions of chivalry have in part prevented men from taking an appropriate response. But there is also the betaization that has taken place because of the United States's political development. I believe the laws protecting family and respecting its place and authority within society have been weakened in South Korea. I have doubts as to whether South Koreans have ever possessed a robust set of republican virtues, which was lost by Americans in the 19th century. Has the evangelization of Korea had as wide an impact as it has had on the United States and other Anglo-Saxon countries? Where is the war between the sexes more likely to escalate?

In contrast to the typical masculinized feminist harridan, a Korean actress who seemed very feminine has passed away -- Actresss Jang Jin-young Dead at 35. May she RIP.

Farewell to Jang Jinyoung
