Yeah as a person with a foot in both camps, I only hear Americans talking about it. I've never heard it mentioned or referred to once while in Korea. It's definitely an American narrative.
As a Korean woman, I don't know why there's so much wrong information about korea on the internet these days... I got to know about 4B movement from watching an American TikTok video hahah if you ask to korean people that how do you think about 4B ? People would say what is it?
00:00 📈 The 4B movement in South Korea challenges traditional gender norms. 01:23 💬 Feminism in Korea aims to address patriarchal societal structures. 02:33 💍 Many young Koreans are hesitant about marriage and prioritize personal goals. 03:18 📰 The 4B movement has waned in media coverage since its peak in 2020. 04:04 🌐 Economic factors significantly influence attitudes towards marriage and childbirth. 07:42 🤝 Societal pressures in Korea discourage vocal support for feminist movements. 09:11 🧐 Misconceptions about Korea's low birth rate often overlook economic challenges. 10:01 🤷♀ Not all Korean women support the 4B movement; many prioritize traditional family values. 11:18 🙅♀ Encouraging everyone to follow the 4B movement may not resonate with all individuals. 11:47 ❤ Building a healthy relationship involves understanding each other's behavior and attitudes.
Saying "most" implies you have sampled a diverse and controlled percentage of population. This is one random street interview in one city with 6ish women.... It's not biased at all.
@dameanvil U most be a Terrance Howard or Joe Rogan listener to actually believe that... It's extremely insulting to even suggest that everyday people that do medical and engineering school for 10 years, and dedicate their lives to improving human life are so flippant with trials and tests. Of course corporations have been known to do such things, but individuals actually work hard for the treatments we all benefit from.
no ones going to actually say they support the 4B movement if you ask them straight up like that, exposing their face on the internet in front of your hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
@@user-vs1no7ku4r If you know the way people who admit they are “feminists” especially radical feminists (which is what people who practice 4b are) are literally crucified here, you would know that its terrifying to ever even imply any support for the movement. I also didn’t mean that its not a good interview, as a korean woman myself who lives in korea, i appreciate the interviewer’s attempt to cover the topic as i think its an important social discussion to have. I just can’t say it induces full transparency.
Yeah for sure, during the video I felt like 2 of the women were supporting the movement and I still had doubts due to their balanced take but then one of them exposed herself. But this make sense, who would say in public that they belong to a radical movement.
it's crazy how simply advocating for women's rights creates so much tension lmao. also that thumbnail is the best way to kip the gender war going... 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿
Now they see who really are the pillars of society. This is the result of ignoring women and their importance to society. Now women have started standing up for themselves more, so the society has no option other than to treat them right
Yah, but what that girl at 10:03 said. You can be a feminist and an advocate of women's rights, without foregoing on sex, marriage, dating, and birth. Denying yourself natural human instincts is not true feminism. It's radicalism. Of course you have the right to do that to yourself, but don't try to force it on other people.
@@jillthompson6110 and I fully agree with you. there's many women who are trying to turn feminism into woman supremacy but real feminists like chimamanda adiche (I'd suggest everyone to read her stuff) are against that new wave.
I heard about the Korean 4B movement in 2020 when it was at its peak. It was in online news because Korean men were upset about a guesture on an ad. But it really doesn’t matter if most Korean women don’t know about 4B. Or many could be practicing 4B and moving in silence. However, some Western women have decided to give it a go. Actually, there have been pockets of western women “Decentering Men” (similar to 4B) long before someone decided to name it West 4B. The one comment I don’t understand is how 4B equates to hating men. Choosing not to date, marry, procreate or have intimate relationships with a man doesn’t mean you hate men. Maybe these women simply want peaceful, stress-free lives without the headache relationships, marriage and children can bring. 🤷🏻♀️
Looking the way I choose to live, you could say that I take part in the movement (4B), but in reality I just want peace. Infortunally, in today's society, the cost of reproduction is mainly for the women.
Because everyone keep using it as a preface for the extremism activities. The reason it was stomped out so quickly in Korean because they even called for killing baby.
In korea, a man can get sued for just LOOKING at women the wrong way... And there have been numerous cases where women falsely accused men for sxual assault to extort money, resulting in the death of men's social and professional life even if proven to be innocent. They DEFINITELY don't want a peaceful stress-free life.
I heard in Korea (or some Asian countries) that it's basically like giving your life to housework, children, and your husband. I don't blame Korean women at ALL for not wanting to be held down in such a gross way.
Birth rates are not bc of 4B. A lot of people don't know that hong kong (I believe lower than s. korea), japan, and china's birthrates are low as well. This is what tends to happen in rapid growing late stage capitalist countries. It becomes hard to raise families and buy homes. The USA is following the same trend soon. Politicians are worried birthrates will fall to near 1 and below in the near future for gen z and alpha. Even Canada is 1.33 right now bc of the cost of living.
The relatively high birth rates in the United States and Europe are due to the high birth rates of immigrants. And more than 60% are children born out of wedlock there.
@@user-cnksi223 yes it's propped up by immigration. A lot of US citizens from the younger gen are not having kids. It's really the fault of politicians bc they allowed corps to buy up all houses, jack up rent, jack up price of food, etc.
replacement is 2.1 so 1.33 is bad just after 3 genrations 6o years. 1000 adults is then 650 then 442 then 224 kids. 1000 60 year old 650 40 year olds and 442 20years old and 224 kids.
Singapore’s birth rate is similar to Korea. But Singapore as an English speaking country has a lot of migrant workers from other ASEAN countries plus India and Pakistan
Great topic and covered very well by the different interviewees. Anna was very professional and well thought as always. its interesting that 4b keeps coming up and I now hear it being brought up an awful lot in the U.S.. in conjunction with our rapidly declining birthrates. The truth is, this is something that media and government seem to be bringing to the forefront in order to point misplaced blame. The truth about our declining birthrates is very much as Anna clearly stated: it is an economic issue, it is an issue of policy failure. People can barely afford to take care of themselves anymore. The average cost of a home, where I live is over a million dollars and the price keeps rising despite the fact that so many of them sit empty, and the average employee salary is barely enough to cover rent. Rising inflation related to food is completely out of control. People are just acknowledging a growing problem with no end in site and are doing the responsible thing by not creating families. Also (and I admit I learned a lot about this from Park JImin (no joke) ) feminism, even radical feminism, is about true equality...full stop. There needs to be more differentiation between the different movements, so as not to stoke hate based on misunderstandings.
Wait- that's Anna Lee! I watch her channel too! I love when worlds cross. This was a nice video, good to hear the different perspectives and the nuances of different movements around the world
Most of that is self-inflicted. Typical Korean family spend all their income on private tutoring classes to pass the entrance exams, expensive baby clothes/accessories, and other needless status symbols that does nothing to raise children properly, but only harms them. Cut out all that needless costs, and SKorea is one of the most affordable places to raise children, due to all the free subsidized government support, including free lunches in schools, free daycare, generous monthly baby cash bonuses, and first choice for government subsidized cheaper housing. The Korean competitive environment will soon disappear also, as there are less and less younger people and more and more jobs will have no people. Millions of older baby boomer Koreans are going to be retiring in the next 5 years, and there's not enough young folks to fill those jobs.
As a Korean, I have never heard of the 4B moment. It's just a shadowy culture that only happens online. Foreigners, don't exaggerate. The reason the birth rate is low is because of materialism.
If you are korean then protect your culture this so called feminism knowledge of western never accept. We are Asian our own culture is our priority. From IND in our country we are facing this problem
The reason not to have children is a woman’s decision, sometimes supported by a feminist man. Do not underestimate the decision of women and of the men that support them. If you are pressured by a patriarchal and demanding society to compete, have money and be the best, it is not a materialistic choice. It’s a protecting one.
I think some of the comments were somewhat correct. There are economic and social reasons why couples are foregoing having children. If a single income family cannot bear the costs of having children then the wife must also have to find a job. But wives who work also bear most of the burden of housework and child care. That makes most woment hesitant to marry or have a child.
I feel like this these are just symptoms. The real issue is probably a bad abusive childhood from their dad or being treated a second class citizen compared to a boy son, so they are angry and they don’t want to deal with men and children. Good to see Anna here.
Treated secondly by their parents? Nope. I don't exactly grasp what kind abuse you mean, but I am sure Korean women in more than mid 40 of their age could experience that kind of abusive treatment from their parents. But not behind 40. They might have had hurtful feelings from their parents forceful admonition to be a girly girl. You know, traditional gender-specific decorum like as in American rural christian family in the old days. But I am not sure that's fit into the real abuse.
@@ahzigos 2) How is this relevant or a sign of transversal subordination based on gender? I’ve heard about horror stories about bosses in koran companies. I bet ment must perform other extra tasks and I bet way more hard than washing some dishes. Is like Japan you must do extra bs for your bosses just because they are above you. Is a very stupid example to brought up. It just shows how korean companies see their employers as a whole: utilities. 3) I’ve watched many videos about korean families and daily vlogs from Korea and all the men were involved in daily chores. And probably must of the fixings and reparations are done by men anyway so it seems to be 50/50. But still this is such a non issue IMO, who care who is washing what in X house? Since when feminism is fighting about who takes out the trash? Is none of your business, each family organize themselves as they see fit. Maybes women have more free time or men care less about this things. 4) Most of the pressure I see online about female bodies is from other women. Korean society is extremely competitive and superficial, is not a feminist problem is a societal problem. And women in 2024 are way more fixated with how they look than women in 1924 so is not like feminism is doing nothing to change that. Makeup, fashion, surgeries, fitness, purses, shoes…in 2024 are billion dollar industries. Maybe women just like to feel pretty. But I agree it can be too much specially for young women. The solution? That solution is anti feminist: going back in time. Like things were before and female beauty not related to big boobs or big butt or big lips but other qualities.
@@ahzigos 1) If you go to (MIT Sloan School) and you write down SK paygap you’ll see the reasons why. There are more men working in SK . On average people in Seoul make more than people in Incheon. There’s a regional paygap but is not opression nor morally wrong nor evil. Circumstances are different and Seoul makes more money that’s all.
I really enjoyed researching feminism and other social issues in south korea. Patriarchy is so much bigger, there, compared to other OECD countries. Just interesting to have such a massive economical growth but not really advancing their social system fast enough.
Originally, the older and current generations in Korea grew up in completely different industrial structures, so their ways of thinking are entirely different. Therefore, Korea shouldn't be interpreted simplistically. If I were to say, "America is a country where the slave system was deeply entrenched,"rn. how would you feel?
In SK it’s so difficult for women. They are treated badly and some have lots of problems with their bosses, sexism,etc. If you are a mother it’s difficult to find a job again. That’s not an friendly environment to raise children. It’s logical that lots of them don’t want kids because of all the disadvantages they have to face then. There’s a lot going wrong that leaded to this.
Even if you are a father, it is a very difficult environment. Since the wife cannot get a job, the husband has to cover all the income while overworked, and it is also difficult to use parental leave stipulated by law at work. It is not just difficult for women, but it is a harsh workplace culture for young women and young men. Most of the people in the high-ranking positions in the workplace are in their 50s, and 60s. A hell exploiting the younger generation.
my friend who is a programmer making six figures was introduced to a woman from korea. as they got to know each other through phone she asks him do you have a college degree. he said no. she responds, well i already have my masters and so i dont think we'll be compatible with each other. they're no longer "dating"
That's pretty common in Korea. If there's a huge gap in achievement, people usually break up. For example, if two students are dating in university and one person scores in the top percentile, and the other is quite average, they break up.
My Korean gf and her friends told me that feminism is harshly frowned upon in Korea. They blame feminism for the reason the birth rate is low. If you are found to be a feminist you can get bullied online and they go as far as to ask your workplace to fire you. It's a bit mind-boggling considering the difference in how women are treated in North America.
There, a man can get sued for just LOOKING at women the wrong way... And there have been numerous cases where women falsely accused men for sxual assault to extort money, resulting in the death of men's social and professional life even if proven to be innocent. There's a good reason why feminism is frowned upon there.
You're originally from Iran, is feminism there the same as the history of feminism in the U.S. And just because feminism is weak there, does that mean that women are all treated badly and men are all bad? The United States has a longer history of feminism and women's rights activism than South Korea. The reason why the term feminism is negative in Korea is largely due to the early activities of extremist feminist groups. And not everyone blames feminism for the low birth rate. It's just a few stupid people saying it in internet comments. Being fired from your job for being a feminist is also not common at all. There are rumors and stories of a few incidents on the internet but how many are there in total? 5, 10 or less? Not common.
Hey could you please make a video on interpreters and translators job in South korea there experience and salary and also could you provide information about foreigners who liv in korea but do freelancing jobs for worldwide companies or on worldwide freelancing sites which visa the use. It will be really great help.
Well I can say that it's different depends on what groups they belong to. I'm 30 years old korean woman, many of my friends engage in 4B movement intentionally. For me it's not a minor thing, very common thing.
I don’t see how people can divorce feminism from the economy. Feminism is an economic choice. A choice not to be a poor mother or an indebted wife and mother. Feminism and the economy go hand in hand.
i love how they all have good insight and individual perspectives, all of these women seem really smart and cool. i love the queer woman highlighting the lack of solidarity within the radical feminist movement towards queer people and the division it causes, she hit it out of the park.
I feel like except for that lovely queer lady, lots of them are not thinking about the bigger picture and not really understanding the full context of these ideas, nobody is against falling in love smh
Unrelated to the subject of this video: I am so impressed with the women he interviewed. They were courteous, they were respectful, and they were all feminine and beautiful. Even the young ladies who spoke positively on the feminist movement were open to discussing their viewpoint. Some people may not find this amazing but coming from the U.S. it is not normal for a man to be able to ask women questions and have an informed conversation and not be in conflict with each other.
I have a question. How do you go to these people that you always interview do many ignore you before you find a person who is ready to talk? because I heard when you talk on streets to people mostly they ignore you because they might think you are from a cult or something and in korea people dont talk just like that to each other???
@@I_am_Raziel South Korea actually has a higher population density than India (515 vs 481/sq km), and has almost no natural resources to cope. Even if you raise kids to be talented and highly educated, there are no jobs cuz competition is so high, low birth rate is not automatically bad, it's actually the solution to a lot of the issue the younger generation are having.
I love individual choice!❤ Certainly even as a kid I NEVER CARED THE THOUGHT to having kids. And now of course..not! Don't have the mind for it let alone intrest. Plus I love a lot of things and not feather babies. Also the practical parts.
In countries where many women have post secondary education, the birth rate goes down dramatically, and regardless of the label put on them, they are much more "feminist" in their outlook than countries wherein women have low education. By feminist I mean women EXPECT to have equal rights as men, equal chance for jobs, value career over having children, and so on. I hope we get to the point where these traits are not under the term "feminism" but rather things that both women and men accept as the norm. Seeing as human resources is one of the most important resources we have, we have wasted 50% of that for millennia. We gotta do better.
That's a very subjective view to say they are being wasted in terms of dollars and cents. A lot of them would prefer raising a family and have somebody else earn money, cuz even in the most "equal" societies, most women do relatively low-pay unskilled jobs that they wish they could escape, cashiers, waitresses, supermarkets are the realistic jobs most of them will be in. if you think the alternative to the traditional role is most of them becoming engineers, doctors, corporate superstars, that's just unrealistic.
Other factors affect this obviously, but basically as two household income became the median, two household income has now become the minimum to stay in the median. We have lost the narrative of equal rights for women who "choose" to go in the workplace. They gotta work. It hadn't been a waste of human resources. They've just be reallocated to different and new production lines of society.
@@kumbawolf I should clarify what I mean by "wasted" for I agree with much of what you posted. I mean to say that the potential for women IF THEY CHOOSE to do other things than stay at home raising children was systemically barred for millennia. That they contributed to social well being is without question. But it is a fact that they were considered chattel for thousands of years, barred from attaining high education, from having jobs that were traditionally for men only, etc. Men were expected to be the breadwinner, and society looked down upon them if they shirked this responsibility. However, they were not legally barred from staying at home or have no job or do what was normally expected of for women. In short, the waste I'm talking about is the potential for women to contribute in ways other than through traditional means. That potential was always granted to men but not women.
@@AxsIav I didn't imply that they all choose white collar jobs with high pay and high social status. What I mean is that they were legally barred from doing anything other than staying at home raising the family Were men legally barred from staying at home instead of working? They would have been denigrated, sure, but there was no law to prevent them from staying at home and doing housework and raising kids if they so chose. If they chose to attain higher education, there were legally allowed as opposed to women.
@@9y2bgy The vast majority of men at that time were peasants who did crap work and got paid barely enough to survive. The idea that most of the jobs at that time is a privilige that woman would want, I mean even till today most women avoid those kinds of jobs. The problem is when you think of women not being allowed to work, you think of women not being allowed to be doctors , lawyers, engineers, when realistically iif they had the "privilige" of being able to work, they could've only been janitors, garbageman, construction workers, unless they are born into a noble family, which obviously is a small minority.
Questions to those opposing the 4B movement 1. In case of dating, are two eyes enough to choose the right life partner? If not, then why? 2. Do you get married for sex or to form a family with children?
The vibe I get is feminism used to be fashionable but it is not anymore. The real issue is super competitive society and super charged hypergamy. By the time men and women think they are successful enough to marry (especially given high housing cost, etc.), they are well into 30''s and are very picky. Recently men have been pushing back partially in reaction to militant feminism and golddiggers - they don't want to marry old women. Things will continue to get worse before getting better, and there will be a lost generation - refer to "makeinu" in Japan which had similar social problems in the past.
@@lornam1142Problem is that they were not just loud minority. They actually got support from the government and many politicians including ex president. It's very complicated issue.
@@JinroToad It was a loud minority of feminists. I don’t think the former President endorsed man-hating. The current President is an ardent anti-feminist, and now lives for men are becoming worse because he is attacking workers’ rights.
3:33 SOURCES? No…not ALL have to participate ladies. But many of us have already been doing this, and stay tuned about updates on all our social media while we have fun in our celibate tea parties! 🎉 💃🏻😺🙀😽😼😻😹
Not having a child doesn’t make you more feminist…. In proud to have a child and work very hard to care for my child. That makes women powerful and strong
totally agree that in society everyone should have equal opportunities, rights, and treatment. some things will be different because of biological sex, like healthcare and stuff. that is expected. but this bit right here 10:04 🤣
Vidéo intéressante qui montre juste que finalement que ce soit en Corée ou ailleurs les problèmes sont les mêmes….les relations hommes femmes restent compliquées, le mariage reste une loterie, ainsi va le monde…
I born in the 80´s and for me feminism was about "equality", but nowdays if you say you are feminist people think you hate men, and it is not like that....About 4B movement...I think that is a personal desicion and maybe they have their own reasons. Thank you for these interviews.
@@senorfootball2460actually they are, 2 out of these were scheduled to have some deeper perspective all the other ones were asked to random people on the spot, including the one with the girl who is a feminist
having an influencer who's publicly expressed anti feminist views before in a supposed street interview video among random korean women being interviewed seems to push for a certain agenda. also it's so funny how people try to disregard the 4b movement being a cause of the low birth rate. i agree economic issues also play a part on it, but mind you that historically in times of much worse economic crisis and even during wars women were still having children in sk, at a higher rate than nowadays, so think again
Some very interesting opinions from these ladies. Insightful and very well thought through. I truly found the comment about participating in some serious arguments a great idea. I wish I had have learned about this before getting married. She was 100% correct
The topic of 4B to Korean women should be reassessed by a coalition of intellectual Korean women consisting of professional women that for and against the concept. It seems that Korean society and the role of women currently has some areas that need improvement but change without considering impact should be assessed. If marriage, children, relationships are boycotted by women, the question might be 'which' women? Elderly women, Uneducated women, Handicapped women? As we age, everyone starts losing abilities, which without support groups, those unable to work, move, talk, hear, see makes us vulnerable in survival. Who provides the bulk of income currently? Who provides the bulk of home care? In China, scores of women are selective about deciding on marriage or who they marriage, there are scores of unmarried men and women, which the population is getting smaller. This is a social-economic-political issue that will have impact on South Korean population. What happens if Korean men seek spouses from the Phillipines, Thailand, Indonesia? How will that impact Korean society? The movement might have some issues to support, but the consequences might have implications that aren't positive for either men, women or the next generation.
Questions to those who support 4B movement 1. You don't want love, if you do, then how will you get it? 2. You want a luxurious life, if yes, then for whom will you leave these luxury items, the government or your neighbour?
People need to understand that in Korea if you say you are a feminist, it's a huge target on your back from the incel-ish type men who make up A LOT of men here. A lot of Korean culture is not verbalizing things. Plenty of the ppl who said they don't know it, do know it.

I generally agree on your point. This world is actually male-dominated society and that domination is real, Men have certain roles : intimidating and protecting, and both roles have been needed in so-called patriachical society. And also their hormones drives them into doing all sorts of crazy things when they reach their puberty. after the Korean war, third or fourth generation of parents' indoctrinating and delusive schooling effort made their children vulnerable in every side except making a good grade in school. Their growth went perfectly with online revolution. and All kind of distorted malicious male culture successfully settled on online. this polluted online trend meets the other side of extremity. There are same breeds on the extremity of male and female side, I think. They are handful of extreme haters and internet amplifies their voice. 4B or whatever is kind of, economical or existential decision in my opinion.
한국에선 페미니스트를 싫어 하는게 아니고 급진적 페미니스트를 싫어하는겁니다 실제로 여성 인권 많이 올랐고 일반적인 남자들은 그게 불합리 하다고 생각하지 않아요 급진적 페미니스트가 분열을 조장해서 싫어하는 겁니다 남자와 여자는 서로에게 꼭 필요한 존재고 부족한 부분을 서로 채워줄 수 있다고 생각해요
I saw worlds economy ranking and sk listed the 4th largest economy in Asia and the 14th largest in the world as of 2024. Even if this data is incorrect, having hard times economically is from all times. For example, china and japan also have very strong economy but over there are birthrates also declining. The only common cultural aspect is the strict patriarchal society. It seems that women, even without knowing nothing about 4B and what it stands for, getting aware of their low-ranked place as the obedient caregiver to parents, husband, children, in-laws, male bosses, I think they seize the happy and free life and will not ask for permission any more. Women starting to realise they are human too. It’s not actuality equality they seek, it’s fairness,
As a man, I've always been a feminist ever since I was a kid, I often questioned the shit that women go through. The belief that "it's a man's world" never made sense to me so I didn't accept it. Imagine your daughter, mother, Aunty, sister, girlfriend/wife, friend or just any woman in general being unfairly treated, abused etc, I would fight anyone to protect my loved ones and women's rights, Infact everyone's rights. People who lack empathy are narcissists and they are ruining the world. Empathy is one of the most important traits because it gives us the ability to view things from different perspectives, to mirror someone's life and understand what they're going through. Empathy connects us, keeps us balanced and caring for each other. If we didn't have it, peace and love as you know it wouldn't exist. We had to pass through the legs of / through a woman to be here, we need women so treat them with love and treat them as equals. Feminism isn't just the works of human's awareness and desire for change, it's the doing of evolution. With every action, there's a reaction, that's a scientific fact. So it's no surprise that the world is becoming more aware and fighting for equality and positive changes. As someone who loves science and philosophy - my philosophical view of the universe is that "we are the universe experiencing and understanding itself and finding purpose." One of the obvious purposes in life is to survive. So women all over the world, go live your life, survive and do what makes you happy, ignore the brainless haters. You are the universe (scientific fact) so start living like it. Love you South Korea 🇰🇷 and all women around the world ❤️

Based of what I've learned from my korean friends, they dont want to marry nor have children because 1.Extremely expensive to have a family in SK 2. Women are valuaing their careers more now than before 3. Household chores and expectations weight on women 4. Unrealistic social pressure and expectations The 4B movement is a radical very niche group in Korea which explains why many Koreans havent heard of it. I love the girl "society is already f* up", queen spoke true 🤣 SK issue with birth rate is happening everywhere and there is no turn back to it. Unfortunately, Korea has a huge challenge regarding their population, look forward to see what else will the gov employ to kind of remediate this threat.
This video is very interesting, but would have benefited from seeing the viewpoint of women at different ages and stages in their lives. A naive woman in her 20's who has no real life experience, is very different than a woman in her 40's. Korea has a serious issue with misogyny and gender roles, it will take a few decades before anything changes there.
