Bae In-gyu, the South Korean far-right YouTuber and head of the anti-feminist group New Men's Solidarity, has been found dead after reportedly falling from his home in Yeongjongdo, Jung-gu, Incheon. He was 36.
The controversial online figure had remained at the centre of political and social disputes in South Korea for years, including his anti-feminist activism, support for former President Yoon Suk Yeol and several legal controversies. News of his death quickly prompted harsh reactions online, with some users openly mocking his death rather than expressing sympathy.
Bae was best known as the leader of New Men's Solidarity, an organisation established around an anti-feminist message and men's rights activism. Academic research has examined the group as part of South Korea's contemporary anti-feminist movement, particularly its use of digital platforms to mobilise supporters.
His activism later became closely linked with South Korean conservative politics. Following the emergency martial law crisis in December 2024, Bae participated in rallies opposing the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol.
In January 2025, he was linked to the riot at the Seoul Western District Court. Months later, police investigated Bae over the incident and searched locations linked to suspects.

It's amazing how triggered they get over gender-neutral bathrooms, and then they go ahead and make another one anyway lmao

makes you wonder about their houses. do they have equal #s of men's and women's restrooms on each floor?
seems really weird to be so hung up on a 'this is the room where people defecate - yes, anyone, as long as they're fucking people they defecate in this room, no need for genders to be involved with defecating....'

From an article on New Men's Solidarity from last year:
And that's the meat of it, believing there is only so much pie to share and women are taking what is owed to men.

Turns out "men shouldn't have to treat women like people" isn't a winning argument for most people.
One less evil person in the world indeed.

"Rather than expressing sympathy."
Fuck, it's almost like people give sympathy to nice people and making a name out of hate isn't well regarded.

Some one with more knowledge of Korean culture help me understand, is Korea very misogynistic? Does this type of person get that much support (vs attention that is)

Extremely misogynistic. Their equivalent to gamergate will throw an absolute shitfit over piching like this 🤏 , which they take as a personal insult on their tiny dicks.
Moon Channel has a nice 2 part video on the Korean gender war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Im4YAMWK74 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woB0eecbf6A
The tldw is: many centuries ago, during a crisis, Korea went turbo-confucianism, which reinforced all the existing hierarchies of their society and that lives on to this day. Everyone should know their place and act accordingly to keep harmony. Women having any sort of right besides being an obedient wife is breaking said hierarchy and thus destroying social harmony.

Misogynist to the point it would be funny if it weren't true. Like this conspiracy theory which blew up internationally when some Korean incels hired an airship to demand the firing of a female artist in a Chinese video game company for accidentally using the finger pinch symbol in the design of a French-inspired character. (I can't find the news articles now. Here's some reporting from confused Russian gamers that gets the main facts right. Anyway the company told them to pound sand, but similar witch-hunts did work in Korea in a few cases.)

pretty much similar to japan, women are expected to take care of children and not have careers, and are often have limited income mobility.

I think he was probably antifeminst because women Korean singers are off the hook. Everything has to be pink. If music had a color, that music would be pink. It's like extremely feminine. He just happens to have been born into that. I'm a feminist and I could only survive a good 357 "golden" radio plays per day. LOL. Cmon! The music is fine. My wife says the korean makeup is the best worldwide.
Had he been born to a Chinese couple in the American oldwest time, he would have spent his years making railroad tracks. It's a droplet in the sunami. If he was a worker in the current western USA, he'd be riding a little trolley cart fixing the tracks in some modern way.
Today is today and we have feminism and freedom for everyone who's lucky enough to be free. We just have to "deal with it". Don't like feminist women? Fine, move on.
