When the British daily Financial Times (FT) reported on the conflict between Hive and Adore CEO Min Hee-jin, it interpreted that “many Korean women perceive CEO Min Hee-jin as ‘a young woman fighting a patriarchal workplace culture.’”

“What Representative Min is going through is something we experience every day in our male-dominated and hierarchical corporate culture,” a 31-year-old woman who works in education in Seoul told the paper. “For Representative Min to speak up is something we dream of.”

COMMENTS 

Comments from theqoo.

-"Workplace patriarchy is a good word. Who knew there was such a perfect word."

-"In Korea you'd need to say you're anti-feminist and call yourself a gamer for your anger to be taken seriously."

-"Our CEO, who claims to be a feminist warrior, responds to women reporting sexual harassment at work with harsh remarks. Though she is a woman herself, she is irresponsible, annoying, and narrow-minded, and she readily chastises those who speak up."

-"Min Hee Jin 💙"

-"Even if Min Hee Jin is not a feminist, her very existence is feminist and a hope for working women."

-"The biggest gag of 2024: Min Hee Jin is anti-feminist."

-" 'In a country where only 6% of the top 100 companies have female executives, Min's anger resonates with young Korean women who are inspired by criticism of their male bosses.' This part is especially good."

-"It's a sad reality that women are labelled feminists just by insisting on rational thinking."

-"HYBE's delusional gamers and incels are going to have a fit again."

-"She's not a feminist, but her actions are feminist. She may not be aware of it, but it's better to be a feminist in action than in words."

-"Considering Min Hee Jin's age and position, it's highly likely she isn't feminist. But the fact that a woman is in her position and she says everything she wants to say is feminism in itself."
