I feel like it's just way more mainstream over there. Looked into it more after writing the comment you're replying to, and, from how news sites and forums are describing the situation, anti-feminism seems to be to Korean elections what transphobia is to American ones.

That’s fair, it’s certainly a very mainstream view.
