Massive Protests Erupt At Korean Women’s Universities As Administrations Secretly Push For Co-education Transition

Protests are taking place across campuses.

South Korea is home to multiple women’s universities that play a central role in women’s education and empowerment. Ewha University, Seoul Women’s University, Dongduk University, Inha University, Sungshin University, etc., are only a few of the women’s-only institutions that are highly revered in the country. But in the past few days, multiple of these campuses have witnessed intense student revolts.

Though students from different schools have joined the protests, Sungshin University and Dongduk University are the two epicenters. Both schools have allegedly pushed for a co-educational transition without consulting student bodies.

On November 11-12, the campus of Dongduk Women’s University erupted in major protests, with hundreds of students occupying buildings and boycotting classes. The historic campus was covered with funeral wreaths bearing slogans opposing the secret conversion of the university into a co-ed institution. Multiple structures inside the university were spray painted in red, declaring “No to Coeducation.” Students also pelted eggs and ketchup on the statue of the university’s founder, Cho Dong Sik.

This chaos germinated from “Vision 2040,” a development proposal that the university has been discussing, allegedly in secret. As per reports, on November 7, students learned that the school was planning to admit male students under this proposal without consulting with the student body.

The university administration claimed that the change was only discussed as a possibility during a meeting to set goals for 2040, with nothing finalized. But according to official filings, the university has admitted six male students to the Korean Language & Culture Studies program this year. This is an undergraduate program that is meant only for international students.

According to Lee Song Yi, the co-chair of Dongduk’s emergency committee, several incidents of violence against women have added up to the student anger reflected in the recent protests. These include a man posting lewd photos of himself inside the campus in 2018, a professor sexually assaulting a student, a medical student murdering his girlfriend at the Sindang Station, the Busan roundhouse kick incident, and a man assaulting a woman for having short hair. In such a social climate, female students are staunchly opposed to the idea of compromising the few exclusive spaces for women.

"Although the university isn’t a perfect haven, we have felt free inside the university campus, and getting rid of a safe space where women can freely express their opinions goes against the founding purposes of the university." - Lee Song Yi

Students from other women’s colleges in Seoul also joined the protests at Dongduk. Multiple students donning the school jackets of Ewha University and Seoul Women’s University were spotted at the demonstrations.

Following the protests at Dongduk, Sungshin Women’s University also witnessed a huge protest on Friday, November 15. More than 1,200 students showed up at the demonstration to oppose the university’s decision to open admissions to male students in its International School of Korean Culture and Technology from the 2025 spring semester.

The Sungshin University campus walls have been covered with hand-written posters and signs condemning the school’s decision, and students have organized sit-ins as well. Funeral wreaths conveying messages opposing the admission of male students were also spotted on campus.

In both cases, the schools have been accused of responding to the student protests in an insensitive manner. Sungshin Women’s University allegedly used toxic thinners to erase protest messages from the campus structures.

At Dongduk University, things escalated even further, with male professors allegedly acting violently toward protesting students on multiple occasions.

Police were also reportedly dispatched at Dongduk University when students tried to force their way into the president’s office on November 11. A police officer was caught on video urging students to calm down and reminding them that they would be giving birth to babies in the future and shouldn’t engage in illegal acts. The students, enraged at the comment, shouted back that they would not, and the brawl continued. According to Seoul Jongnam Police Precinct, the police officer’s comment came after the students tried to break into the president’s office while pounding the door with a fire extinguisher.

Students at these universities are continuing their fight to have the decision of co-educational transition repealed, and it wouldn’t be unprecedented if they succeed. In 2015, Duksung Women’s University also brought forth a similar proposal, followed by Sungshin Women’s University in 2018. Both had to be withdrawn after fierce opposition from students.

[stuff-diary]

My obsession with After School Lessons for Unripe Apples has led me to finally read Cheese in the Trap. I enjoyed the drama back in the day, but not enough to bother reading the webtoon. And now I kind of regret it, cause it's so much better. I still dislike Jung and much rather prefer Inho, but at least now I understand him a lot better. Still, my favorite thing is certainly Seol. Few characters have been as relatable to me as her; I have gone through many similar experiences, and had the exact same thoughts as her very often. I also liked the ending way more than I expected, and the long ride leading to that was certainly worth it.

Professor Chiyoung Park of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee) has developed a groundbreaking new material poised to advance high-sensitivity recyclable sensor technology. Working in collaboration with Professor U-hyeok Choi of Inha University (President Cho Myeongwoo), Park's team created a recyclable high-sensitivity sensor based on the dynamic polymer network. This next-generation material is garnering attention for its ability to combine environmental sustainability with high performance. Existing high-sensitivity sensors have been limited by performance degradation due to fatigue and repeated use. However, the dynamic polymer network developed by the research team maintains excellent sensitivity and durability by using vinylogous urethane bonding. This bonding structure self-heals in response to external stimuli such as temperature, light, and pressure, preventing performance degradation even after repeated use.

Next Project Reveal Time...

Hello, I’m still not dead!

So I might as well let you all in on the project I’m concocting now that the Relics trilogy is finished. It’s going to be long and difficult, but I’m really excited to see where it goes. This could get long, so I’ll put the details under the jump for those who are interested, but I’ll put the title and a few basics up here for all of y’all to see.

SHADOWRUN: NEON FIRE

Yeah, it’s cyber-elf time!

It’s a fan-game, which will be freely available in full to everyone on Dashingdon (I’m not trying to make a buck off someone else’s IP, I’m just trying to craft a tribute to one of my all-time favorite fictional universes!) The aim is to combine some of the best elements of IFs with some of the best elements of tabletop RPGs. It’ll be more statty that most IFs, and will make use of dice rolls and a simplified version of the Shadowrun 5th edition tabletop rules, but it will also make telling a great story with great characters and choice and consequence a high priority, thus hitting some of the more usual IF beats. 

Don’t get too excited: it will still be a long time before anything gets posted (I want to make a particular point in the story before I unveil anything), but I’ll do my very best to make this thing actually happen!

More details below!

About the Project

For the uninitiated, Shadowrun is a beloved fantasy-cyberpunk tabletop roleplaying setting which has spawned six editions of the tabletop game, a huge number of novels, and multiple well-regarded video games going right back to the 90s. I flipping love Shadowrun. I love it so much that I’ll take on the ill-advised burden of trying to write a lengthy Choicescript story that uses actual Shadowrun RPG mechanics. It’s a famously dice-heavy game. That’ll be a lot of *rand variables, then.

Received wisdom seems to be that, in interactive fiction, detailed RPG mechanics and great stories with choice and consequence are mutually exclusive. I think that the received wisdom is wrong. This project is where I prove it, or go down in flames trying.

About the Shadowrun Universe

In the world of Shadowrun, human history is much longer than we currently believe. The earth projects a field of natural mana, which is the source of magic, and which waxes and wanes over very long periods of time. Every five thousand years, the earth's manasphere reawakens, and magic emerges into the mundane world, bringing with it dragons, spirits, creatures of legend and fantasy races. Then, five thousand years later, mana mysteriously recedes again, leading to the beginning of another mundane age. Every time magic either reappears or disappears, it produces tremendous civilization-level traumas leading to the collapse of human society and the need to rebuild from scratch. Until 2011, when magic reemerged in a technologically advanced world, ending the Fifth World and inaugurating the Sixth. For the first time, human society was robust enough to withstand the shock, and it (just about) held together. For the first time, magic and advanced technology needed to coexist.

The return of magic at the beginning of the twenty-first century had profound consequences. The old United States and Canada fragmented into multiple successor states, while wars and magically-awakened natural disasters racked much of the rest of the world. Animals began to mutate rapidly into magically-awakened versions of themselves: now hellhounds, devil rats, harpies and many other paracritters stalk the wilds. Babies started to be born who resembled the elves and dwarves of legend; as they grew and time passed, elven and dwarven culture developed along distinctive lines. Metahumanity diversified further with the phenomenon known officially as Unexplained Genetic Expression (UGE), and unofficially as "Goblinization", when, for unclear reasons, some people began to grow tusks and horns and thick green skin, undergoing dramatic and often agonizing transformations into orks and trolls. The majority of the Sixth World's inhabitants are still human, and a high proportion of humans are prejudiced against other metatypes, aligning themselves with human supremacist organizations like the notorious Humanis Policlub. Human supremacism has in turn spawned a violent response, in the form of militant metahuman supremacist groups across the globe. Different countries and regions have responded differently to the challenges of metadiversity, but everywhere tensions between metatypes are never far from the surface.

When magic reappeared, the great dragons reawakened. Impossibly majestic creatures who have lived through all the previous cycles of the world but who hibernate deep in the earth during mundane cycles, dragons rapidly established themselves as major power players in Sixth World society. Unimaginably subtle and intelligent, every dragon is a force to be reckoned with. Some have become heads of state, others CEOs or board members of megacorporations. You never truly know where you stand with them, hence one of the most common pieces of advice you'll hear in the shadows: "Never deal with a dragon".

Alongside the dragons, the real powers of the Sixth World are the corporations, and above all the Big Ten triple-A megacorporations: Ares Macrotechnology, Aztechnology, Evo, Horizon, Mitsuhama Computer Technologies (MCT), NeoNET, Renraku Computer Systems, Saeder-Krupp, Shiawase, and Wuxing. Any one of these corps could field a private military which would vastly overpower that of any nation state. Since 1999, the megas have enjoyed extraterritoriality, meaning that, on their own corporate property, they are exempt from local laws and responsible for their own policing and protection. Making every product and providing every service you could possibly imagine, these beasts often own lesser A- or AA-rated corps and seem unshakable in their global dominance.

In the cracks between the shining corporate enclaves you'll find the shadows, sprawling slums dominated by feral street-gangs and organized crime, inhabited by the desperate and the SINless (those who do not possess a System Identification Number, and are not considered productive citizens). The shadows are the natural home of shadowrunners, guns for hire, highly-skilled deniable mercenary criminals, often hired by corps or wealthy private clients to undertake shady acts of espionage and sabotage. And you will be one of them!

About Neon Fire

I’ll be posting more game-specific info in a future post, so I’ll just give you the basics now. In Neon Fire, you will create and play as an experienced shadowrunner in the Seattle Sprawl in the late 21st century. After a Seattle-based prologue mission designed to introduce the world and the rules, you’ll receive a puzzling message from a figure from your childhood, calling you away to the far side of the world. For the bulk of the game, you’ll be living in the Neo-Tokyo megasprawl, running the shadows with an all-new crew of (romanceable) fellow runners, while also investigating a mystery which will uncover secrets about your own past as well as a sinister conspiracy that threatens Neo-Tokyo’s future!

More details to follow soon. In the meantime, if you want to learn more about this setting, maybe try the video games Shadowrun: Dragonfall and Shadowrun: Hong Kong. If you like fantastic RPGs with great writing, you’ll thank me - and you’ll get suitably psyched for Neon Fire!

Fanfiction Trope Meme

Stolen from @pigeontheoneandonly, who I don't know at all. Saw it in their blog and went "I like these questions". Rules: copy/past and bold your fic preferences and tag someone to do the same. I don't ever explicitly tag people because I don't want anyone to feel put on the spot when they could be having a bad week/month/year. I'm interested in all my friends' answers, so answer the questions if you want to.

slow burn or love at first sight. (Good question. I tend to think that love at first sight is unrealistic, because you only know what someone looks like, not who they really are. So I suppose I prefer slow burn where the affection grows as the people get to know each other.)

fake dating or secret dating. (Ugh, I like both! Though secret dating wins with Klapollo - dating in secret because Klavier's a rock star and they don't want the tabloid hassle.)

enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers. (This is how my relationships have worked in real life. We've always been friends first - at least for the relationships that have actually LASTED.)

oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance with correspondence. (Ack! I can't decide! *squishes Klapollo into one bed* vs LDR with Apollo in Khura'in and Klavier in Los Angeles/Tokyo?)

hurt/comfort or amnesia. (HURT/COMFORT. Finally, an easy one!)

fantasy au or modern au. (This one depends on the original setting. If it's a fantasy setting, a modern AU. If it's a modern setting, then a fantasy AU!)

mutual pining or domestic bliss. (Get it together, silly boys! Of course, I'm talking about Klapollo again. With some of my other ships, I prefer them to simply communicate and sort their relationship out.)

smut or fluff. (I like both BUT if we are simply talking about tropes in the absence of plot, I prefer Porn Without Plot to Fluff Without Plot. Fluff Without Plot leaves me feeling unfulfilled, like I ate candy floss when I wanted a meal. Fluff WITH Plot is fantastic, and I've written quite a few Teen-rated fics myself. Smut is definitely not essential for a good story.)

canon complaint or fix-it fic. (Fix-it!!)

alternate universe or future fic. (AUs are fascinating.)

one-shot or multi-chapter. (Depends on the story, of course. If it's high-quality, I can easily read 150k of fic in a night. What is this "bedtime" thing you speak of?)

kid fic or roadtrip fic. (I am not really a fan of either, but I LOATHE kid fic. Fan-created OC children make me break out in metaphorical hives. Though - I say that, and I would still absolutely love to read a story where Trucy (aged 25+) offers to be the surrogate for Klavier and Apollo, since she is Apollo's sister and has the most similar genetic makeup to him. I guess I'm more interested in the negotiations (will they accept it? Does Klavier even WANT children which are genetically his considering how Kristoph turned out?) than the actual part where a baby exists.)

reincarnation or character death. (NEVER character death, I hate it - and it's an actual squick to the point of being triggering with my main ship. Whereas reincarnation, finding each other again and again in different worlds over time - OMG I love.)

arranged marriage or accidental marriage. (Especially if accompanied by queer lawyers with legal shenanigans.)

high school romance or middle-aged romance. (Middle-aged fans demand middle-aged Blorbos! 35 is not "old", you teenage Narumitsu fans.)

time travel or isolated together. (Can't decide. As long as it's not a tragedy where they're separated by time, or where one is already a ghost while the other is alive, I don't much mind.)

neighbors or roommates. (No actual preference.)

sci-fi au or magic au. (Slight preference for magic, but only because SF is hard to write well.)

body swap or genderbend. (No preference, though I should perhaps observe that F/F Klapollo are barely any different to M/M Klapollo unless you're writing smut. Body swap, however, is hilarious because you have Mr Tall, Skinny, and Beautiful suddenly inhabiting the body of Mr Short, Buff, and Ordinary - and vice versa.)

angst or crack. (Angst with a happy ending. But I do love a good crack fic too!)

apocalyptic or mundane. (Mundane please. Apocalyptic fic stresses me out instead of being fun.)

[instiz] DEEPF*** S** CRIME OCCURED IN A CHAT ROOM OF 1,200 PEOPLE FROM INHA UNIVERSITY

(original tweet mentions webnovels, showing boycott is not limited to webtoons) The Butterfly Effect Triggered by 'Pong Pong Man'… Naver Webtoon Finds Itself in a Difficult Situation. What Is the Breakthrough?Boycott Controversy, Decreasing User Numbers, Shareholder Lawsuits, and Labor Disputes… Naver Webtoon Plans to "Create Opportunities to Accelerate Growth."

Sports Daily reports that Naver Webtoon is facing multiple challenges. The ongoing boycott has led to a decline in user numbers, and shareholders are expected to file civil lawsuits due to poor performance. Additionally, the company is grappling with labor union disputes over "post-IPO compensation."

published Oct 17 2024

this article is originally in Korean and has been mtl and edited into English here. it’s not going to be 1:1 but the basic info should be there, if you see any discrepancies though lmk and I’ll edit it asap. thanks everyone for your continued help and understanding. it’s a bit longer than the typical article posted here so I’ve put the relevant info regarding the DAU/sales drop here, and the additional information that has opinions, info about stock price, labor disputes and US investors under a cut. This is an article someone posted as a QRT to the first tweet above so I thought I would share it bc it’s a news source that now has archived numbers for the boycott.

The boycott movement, which seemed to have calmed down temporarily, has reignited. As of 10 a.m. on October 17, over 18,000 posts with the hashtag "Naver Webtoon Boycott" have been uploaded, pushing the topic to the top of X's (formerly Twitter) real-time trends. This resurgence was sparked by allegations that Naver Webtoon's X account mocked the boycott while promoting a particular work on the afternoon of October 16. The controversy spread rapidly across multiple online communities, although the relevant post has since been deleted.

Professor Lee Eun-hee from Inha University’s Department of Consumer Studies pointed out, "The problem is that consumers feel disrespected. Even though the boycott has continued for several days, the company has given the impression that it has not communicated properly with its customers, and even posted an advertisement that appeared mocking." She added, "Even though Naver is the top platform in the industry, such behavior could be seen as reckless and arrogant by customers, especially when competitors are closing in."

Recently, some twitter users have labeled Naver Webtoon a misogynistic company and called for a boycott. The boycott movement includes deleting the app and hashtag campaigns, with related posts being retweeted thousands or tens of thousands of times, repeatedly trending in real time. According to Mobile Index, the daily active users (DAU) among Android users have decreased by nearly 10%, from 2.2-2.3 million before the boycott to 2.0-2.1 million. There are also reports in the webtoon industry that some webtoon studios have postponed launching new works.

The work that triggered the Naver Webtoon boycott is a fantasy comic titled Isekai Pong Pong Man, which began serialization on September 4, 2024, in Naver Webtoon's "Best Challenge" section. "Pong Pong Man" is a slang term originating from male-dominated communities, referring to a capable and naive man married to a woman who had a promiscuous youth. The story, which revolves around a protagonist who loses his property and child custody to a cheating wife under "laws favoring women in Korea," and is branded as a domestic abuser before crossing over into another world, has been criticized for touching on the explosive issue of gender conflict. The fact that this work was submitted for Naver's "Greatest Contest of 2024" and passed the first round of judging without editorial screening further fueled the boycott.

Naver Webtoon's Dilemma

For Naver, the situation is a catch-22. If the company deletes a specific work while the contest is underway, backlash is expected. Additionally, it's not appropriate for the editorial team to intervene by demanding changes to the title or content of a challenge-level work rather than an official serialization. A source in the webtoon industry commented, "Given how sensitive this issue is, Naver Webtoon has no choice but to be cautious and may find it difficult to take active measures at this stage. Although many view the term 'Pong Pong Man' itself as problematic, much discussion is needed on whether it should be entirely banned in the creative realm."

Cultural researcher and writer Lee Yong-hee noted, "This is not to say that the work is without problems. However, characters can evolve through their narrative arcs, and to take down a work solely for using specific hateful expressions could lead to censorship." Ha Shin-ah, chairperson of the Webtoon Writers' Union, also remarked, "It is not wrong for readers to express their beliefs by pressuring a company through a boycott, but suppressing a creator's freedom of expression in such a way can backfire. I hope a forum will be established where readers, creators, and companies can engage in deeper discussions on ethical content guidelines."

Regarding the matter, a Naver Webtoon representative stated, "A marketing material that had been prepared before the boycott was accidentally released, causing confusion and inconvenience to consumers. We sincerely apologize for this." The representative also noted, "The work in question is currently undergoing a second review, and we are aware of the various opinions surrounding it. The contest will proceed as announced."

Plummeting Stock Prices and U.S. Investor Lawsuits

The troubles for Naver Webtoon extend beyond the boycott. The company’s U.S. entity, Webtoon Entertainment, which serves as the headquarters, successfully went public on the New York Stock Exchange in late June this year. However, following its IPO, poor performance caused the stock price to plunge.

In the second quarter, Webtoon Entertainment's revenue reached $320.97 million, a mere 0.1% increase from the same period last year, while operating losses soared to $79.09 million, more than 14 times the previous loss. The majority of revenue comes from the Korean and Japanese markets, where weakened local currencies against the dollar significantly impacted the second-quarter results. If the currency effect is excluded, the adjusted year-over-year growth rate for the second quarter would be 11.1%.

Following the second-quarter earnings announcement, the stock price fell nearly 40% and has continued to decline. As of October 16, the stock was priced at $11.18, roughly half of the $21 IPO price. Although third-quarter results may show slight improvement due to the stabilization of the won and yen exchange rates, it is unlikely that performance and stock prices will improve sufficiently to satisfy investors in the short term.

As the stock price continues to decline, U.S. investors are moving forward with lawsuits. Since September, law firms specializing in securities litigation have been recruiting participants for a class action, alleging that Webtoon Entertainment failed to adequately disclose the impact of exchange rates on revenue growth in the securities filings submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in June.

The plummeting stock has also sparked labor disputes regarding additional compensation following the IPO. After the successful listing on Nasdaq, Webtoon Entertainment CEO Kim Joon-gu was awarded a performance bonus of $30 million (about 40 billion KRW). He also holds stock options for 3,461,670 shares at an exercise price of $11.04 per share. Meanwhile, most Naver Webtoon employees have stock options with an exercise price of over $20-30.

For some employees, the stock option exercise price exceeds the 52-week high of $25.66. The Naver branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) filed an application for labor dispute mediation with the Gyeonggi Regional Labor Relations Commission on October 8. Mediation is expected to continue until October 21.

A Naver Webtoon representative commented, "The labor issue is ongoing, so we cannot provide an official position," and added, "In the second quarter, we demonstrated differentiated competitiveness across all regions. We aim to create opportunities for accelerated growth in high-potential markets, leveraging our unique global flywheel (virtuous cycle)."

Professor of Inha University created a new nano material

Recently, Professor Oh Dong-yup from the Department of Polymer Engineering has pioneered a breakthrough technology that could address the challenging issue of electrolyte development for solid-state batteries.

Professor Oh Dong-yeop from the Department of Polymer Engineering has developed a nano material that can solidify liquid electrolytes even with the addition of a very small amount, 200 ppm (about 0.02%), through collaborative research with Professor Je-young Park from the Department of Polymer Engineering, Chemistry, and Biology at Sogang University, and Professor Seong-yeon Hwang from the Department of Plant and Environmental Technology at Kyung Hee University.

This research result is noteworthy as it could provide a solution to the explosion problem that electric vehicle consumers are concerned about.

In existing types of batteries, liquid electrolytes are responsible for ion transmission between the positive and negative electrodes. Liquid electrolytes are at risk of leaking when exposed to external impact, which can cause physical damage to the internal materials, leading to the risk of explosion. On the other hand, solid-state batteries are considered ideal because the solid electrolyte minimizes leakage and reduces physical damage to internal components, significantly reducing the risk of explosion.

To commercialize solid-state batteries, the development of solid electrolytes is essential. Solid electrolytes must be durable against external shocks and efficiently transmit ions while maintaining their shape. Solid electrolytes are created by using a gel that is solidified by adding a polymer to the liquid electrolyte. Existing solid electrolytes contain more than 10% additives and have a very low ion diffusion rate inside. Additionally, if you reduce the amount of additives, it will not be able to maintain its shape.

The nano material developed this time is expected to greatly contribute to the development of solid electrolytes.

The research team has successfully extracted a special nano fiber material from Kevlar, a high-strength fiber used to make body armor. 1g of Kevlar nano fiber can solidify up to 5 liters of various liquids, such as water, carbonate-based liquid electrolytes, and cosmetic oil. This is because Kevlar nano fibers act like building reinforcement rods, providing structural support for the gel. The amount added is very small, so there is very little difference in the ion diffusion rate of the inner substances such as ions compared to the pure liquid.

Hydrogel (gel created by adding additives to water) is created by adding Kevlar nano fibers with excellent mechanical strength. The hydrogel can withstand a load of 2kg without collapsing and regain its original shape even when continuously crushed 10,000 times. It also demonstrates thermal stability, not being damaged even when boiled at 100°C.

Professor Oh Dong-yeop of the Department of Polymer Engineering said, "Kevlar nano fibers are a core technology that transforms liquid into solid by using a very small amount of additives." He added, "It is used in various fields such as artificial production." He said, "It will play an important role."

Meanwhile, this research was conducted with the support of the Material and Nano Technology Development Project of the Ministry of Science and ICT. It was recently published in the journal 'Nature Materials (IF=41.8)', one of the top 0.1% academic journals in the world.

Working in collaboration with Professor U-hyeok Choi of Inha University, Park's team created a recyclable high-sensitivity sensor based on the dynamic polymer network. This next-generation material is garnering attention for its ability to combine environmental sustainability with high performance. The research is published in the Chemical Engineering Journal. Existing high-sensitivity sensors have been limited by performance degradation due to fatigue and repeated use. However, the dynamic polymer network developed by the research team maintains excellent sensitivity and durability by using vinylogous urethane bonding. This bonding structure self-heals in response to external stimuli such as temperature, light, and pressure, preventing performance degradation even after repeated use.
