Part 2/9:
The foundations of the 4B movement were laid in South Korea in the mid-2010s, with the term itself deriving from four Korean words that roughly translate to "no marriage, no childbirth, no romance, and no sex with men." The movement began to gain public attention in 2016 following a heinous act of violence against women, where a man killed a young woman in a public restroom. His justification, as he claimed, was due to women ignoring his existence. The lack of appropriate legal repercussions for the perpetrator sparked widespread outrage and highlighted the systemic violence against women in South Korea.
