Abstract

The article offers information on movement called Escape the Corset, started by a group of South Korean women rebelling against their society's rigid beauty standards. Topics covered include the challenge of the women against long-accepted attitudes about plastic surgery and cosmetics, the role of political and economic disparities in fueling the anger towards beauty standards, and the intensity of feminism in South Korea compared to other countries.
