Four in 5 Koreans said they support the #MeToo movement, according to survey results released Wednesday.

Some 14.4 percent of the citizens said they did not support it.

Over 7 in 10 citizens said the public’s level of interest in sexual harassment, sexual violence and gender discrimination rose after the #MeToo movement began here.
Sixty-two percent said Korean society is unfair to women, while 22.2 percent said it is fair to both men and women.
Seventy-seven percent of the women and 47.6 percent of the men said Korean society was unfair to women.
Gender policy experts said that while the #MeToo movement has served as momentum to build a consensus on structural gender inequality and discrimination across Korean society, it could be limited to sexual harassment and violence, and could develop into a conflict between men and women.
Policy efforts to improve the discriminatory organizational culture were most urgently needed, they said.
