Despite heightened awareness, South Korea’s legal system struggles to keep pace with the social movement
On Dec. 21, the South Korean Supreme Court issued the final verdict in a high-profile case that had significant implications for the #MeToo movement in the country. Seo Ji-hyun, a former prosecutor, lost her lawsuit for damages against a former senior prosecutor and the state, alleging sexual harassment and abuse of power.
This decision not only highlighted the legal hurdles faced by survivors of sexual abuse in South Korea but also brought into question the long-term impact of the #MeToo movement.
