"I didn't have any books in the house growing up. So I was both sort of economically and culturally not really someone you'd associate with the art world," he said.
These groups have long existed, mostly out of the public eye. But over the years they moved closer to the mainstream as their traction online grew, especially under Yoon.It was them that Yoon appealed to in his campaign pledges, vowing to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, saying it focused too much on women's rights.
And he consistently denied systemic gender inequality existed in South Korea, which ranks near the bottom on the issue among developed countries.But his message hit home. A survey by a local newspaper the year before he was elected had found that 79% of young men in their 20s felt "seriously discriminated against" because of their gender."In the last presidential election, gender conflict was mobilised by Yoon's party," says Kim Eun-ju, director of the Center for Korean Women and Politics. "They actively strengthened the anti-feminist tendencies of some young men in their 20s."
During Yoon's term, she says, government departments or publicly-funded organisations with the word "women" in their title largely disappeared or dropped the reference altogether.The impact has been polarising. It alienated young women who saw this as a rollback of hard-won rights, even as it fuelled the backlash against feminism.
Byunghui saw this up-close back home in Daegu. She says anti-Yoon protests were overwhelmingly female. The few men who came were usually older.
Young men, she adds, even secondary school students, would often drive past the protests she attended cursing and swearing at them. She says some men even threatened to drive into the crowd.Suffolk Fire and Rescue was called to an automatic fire alarm within a building belonging to Ipswich Museum on Charles Street on Saturday night.
Crews found there had been a fire in the electrical intake to the property that had spread to the void between the ground and first floor levels.The fire service said there had been damage to the ceiling, but no artefacts being stored in the building had been affected before a stop message was received at 20:31 BST.
"Had the building have not had a working automatic fire alarm, the fire would have gone unnoticed for a considerable time and the building would have probably been lost," a spokesperson for the fire service said.When crews arrived at the scene, they had to isolate the electricity to the property and remove the ceiling to access the fire within the void.
