Common Anti-Korean Tropes
Machine translated
When looking at anti-Korean tropes, they are always the same:
- All beautiful Korean women have had plastic surgery
- Korea only developed thanks to the US
- KF-21? Did they even develop the engine? lol K2 tank? Did they even develop the power pack? lol
- Looking at Guryong Village and elderly people picking up scrap paper and saying, "Korea is just like Southeast Asia"? lol
- Hallyu? Isn't that a national policy? lol
- Koreans are tall? Isn't that just growth hormones? lol
- Korea is safe? What about stalking, hidden cameras, and various misogyny issues? lol
....
Most of them are like this. They fail to grasp the whole picture and use partial facts and logic to distort the truth and reach conclusions to disparage the country.
Even regarding the feminist issue, if you look at objective indicators like absolute women's rights (UNDP GII) or the Human Development Index, Korea ranks 1st or 2nd in Asia, and in terms of the Women's Safety Index (WPX Index), it is in the top 3 in Asia. The irony is that the higher women's rights are and the more "feminist" a country becomes, the more women's issues will inevitably arise and become loud. Women's protests happen constantly in France, the US, and Korea, but in Africa or the Middle East, such things don't even exist.
The irony of misogynistic issues is that as things like Hallyu become more popular, Korean issues get bigger, yet no one cares about the issues facing women in Afghanistan.

Plastic Surgery/Controversy
Namuwiki
In addition to medical purposes such as reconstructive surgery, plastic surgery is frequently performed for cosmetic purposes and can become a subject of social controversy.
Even the plastic surgery issue is quite distorted and exaggerated.
Whether it's anti-Korean sentiment or anything else, in this era, humans—both online and offline—are more easily manipulated and make judgments without effort or critical thinking.
