This backlash to feminism has been slowly escalating. Women here suffer from severe discrimination, misogyny and sexual violence. And as feminists have fought to improve women's rights, young men have pushed back. It's so bad. It's worse than I remember. Good God. Can you read me some of the messages?

I'm sitting with Minsung Kim. He's a big online gamer, and we're looking through some popular online message boards, and they're just full of misogynistic abuse. Minsung used to belong to these forums, but now he calls himself an ardent feminist, and he's working to support women who are being attacked. He even managed to convince Darim's company not to fire her.

The standoff started before dawn. Police blocked the roads around the president's home, pushing back his incensed supporters. As the sun rose, the first officers ran up to his house to make the arrest. But they were unable to get in. Blocked by the president's security team, who refused to open the door. By lunchtime, the officers had given up. An arrest was impossible, they said.

Mr Yun may have been suspended, stripped of his power, but still his security is protecting him. It's been exactly a month since President Yun plunged his country into crisis, imposing martial law, ordering troops to storm the parliament.

And even though most people here are still so upset about his decision to try and bring the country under martial law, the core of his supporters here have stayed loyal to him, and they have surrounded the president's residence this morning. They're riled up and angry, and they've been spurred on by the president himself, who has thanked them for working so hard to defend him.

They chant the same unfounded conspiracy theories Mr Yoon himself has alluded to, that last year's elections were rigged and the country has been infiltrated by pro-North Korean forces. We will fight. They have to kill me first before they arrest President Yoon. That will not happen, never again. Mr Yoon swore he'd fight this until the end.
