K-pop, K-dramas, skincare, and cafe culture. The world loves #hallyu, but behind the perfect image, Korea struggles with deep-rooted misogyny that rarely gets international attention. #BlindedByHallyu #MisogynyInKorea

#Microaggressions may be unintentional when the speaker is unfamiliar with how their words are perceived by others.

I don't think Korean audiences are ready for K-pop artists wearing qipao in a performance #K-pop
