South Korea was once one of the countries with the most severe patriarchal concepts in Asia. The idea of ????preferring boys over girls was very popular. Many women regarded having sons as their lifelong pursuit and obligation. Today, as the male-dominated family model changes and women's economic status continues to improve, more and more Koreans realize that it makes no sense to favor sons over daughters. A recent World Bank research report said that South Korea is becoming the first Asian country to reverse the worsening trend of sex ratio at birth.
