Easily explained: Obviously this is a very unique situation that we, as foreigners, must try to understand, Just like Korea's 4 distinct seasons!!!
You have to be kidding!
Not until most women make any amount of money for real work (i.e., not getting coffee, or typing) a percentage point closer to equal than it is now can anyone even consider ROK first world.
