The Bookshelf
In the wings, on the reservation, inside a woman's rage

It was so great.

The Bookshelf

I had the time of my life.

The Bookshelf
In the wings, on the reservation, inside a woman's rage

It was my first time in Korea and I just learnt so much.

The Bookshelf
In the wings, on the reservation, inside a woman's rage

I was only there for 10 days and before I went I hadn't seen Parasite yet.

The Bookshelf
In the wings, on the reservation, inside a woman's rage

Because I feel since I came back, everyone's been talking to me about Parasite and Korea and, oh, what was it like?

The Bookshelf

And I feel like South Korea is at a really interesting, pivotal moment right now.

The Bookshelf

And there's a bit of attention on it that there wasn't before.

The Bookshelf
In the wings, on the reservation, inside a woman's rage

So I had a great time.

The Bookshelf

That was the story that I pitched and the one that I was selected to go for.

The Bookshelf

So I had sort of heard and read a few articles about this Escape the Corset movement, which is one of many women's movements that are big in South Korea at the moment.

In short, what it is, is young women are cutting their hair short and not wearing makeup.

And in some cases, they're posting videos on YouTube or Instagram of themselves destroying makeup products, which a lot of people in Australia might not wear makeup as well.

But in Korea, where there's a very big, you know, Korean beauty movement, like I'm sure you've seen.

The Bookshelf
In the wings, on the reservation, inside a woman's rage

I think so.

And, you know, Korean face masks, cosmetics, it's such a big industry.

The Bookshelf

And so it's all the more significant as to why are these women sort of turning away from that.

The Bookshelf
In the wings, on the reservation, inside a woman's rage

And I had the chance to meet with and chat to a couple of women there about their experiences.

The Bookshelf
In the wings, on the reservation, inside a woman's rage

And what I found is that it's not an isolated movement.

The Bookshelf

It's tied to a number of other concerns that women have in South Korea.
