> Women in Korea are not treated poorly.

Do you know this for sure? Developed East Asian countries are some of the worst in terms of work equality for women, particularly if they want to have children. Not a good example to use.

Japan and Korea are 'very gendered' countries.

Technically, everything could be equal, but men and women have much stronger gender roles there, it's very deeply ingrained into culture.

I admittedly do not know this. I just replied to another person who provided a source which asserts that Korea is the worst country for equality. Which if true would explain why Korea has a large wage gap.

I'm not defending this at all however. I'm perfectly happy to believe that South Korea is worse than Saudi Arabia toward treatment of women.
