These days in Korea there is a controversy about ‘ilbe’ which means a controversial online community site known for its politically far-right and hateful written content against social minorities. The website is www.ilbe.com/ilbe.

‘ilbe’ is similar to ‘Witch Hunting’ in the middle ages and the ‘ilbe’ users target unspecified masses. According to law professor Choung, many views shared on ‘ilbe’ against Korean social minorities, including Korean women and people of Jeolla origin, can be regarded as forms of hate speech. Under South Korea’s current criminal laws, insulting and defaming a specific individual can be a crime if the remark “was made publicly and damaged the social reputation” of the person. The laws, however, don’t include hate speech in its definition of criminal insult and defamation.

One of the articles published in Korea herald magazine represents the sinking of the ferry Sewol, which left more than 300 dead or missing, was unarguably one of the most traumatic events for in South Korea, 2014. Despite the woeful tragedy, what some found even more disturbing was the infamous “binge-eating” strike. It was held by a group of young men back in September to insult Kim Young-oh, the grieving father of one of the ferry’s teenage victims, who had been fasting to demand an independent probe into the disaster and the government’s rescue efforts. The young men, many of whom turned out to be members of ‘ilbe’ purposely ate pizza and fried chicken at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, only 200 meters from the mourning father during his public hunger strike. They accused Kim of “asking too much” and “being manipulated by the current government’s political opponents.”

Ilbe users have an intense disliking for the Jeolla region in the southwestern portion of South Korea.[30] This is due to several factors, including the fact that Jeolla province had a staggering 98% vote for a regional (left-wing) party candidate Kim Dae-jung, and their belief that the Gwangju Riot has been placed on a pedestal by the locals, to the extent that all other moments in the history of Korean democratisation are overlooked, and that it was not a democratization uprising or movement, but simply a riot. The intense disliking manifests itself as verbal abuse against Jeolla and related political figures.[31]

Ilbe Community can be seen as anti-feminism community, composed of mostly males. The female users of Ilbe are called "Am-Be-Choong" (Am: expression of females (mostly used in animals.)/Be: (ilbe)/Choong: insect) by the users. The female users who openly "comes out" as a female are banned from the website, mainly because their presences are likely to cause disputes in such masculine community, contributing to the decline of the website.

you should take this guy "hunting" in GANGNAM:

On December 10, 2013, an employee of Comotomo feeding bottle company who is self-claimed Ilbe user alleged that he interrupted feeding bottle manufacturing process by 'sucking' feeding bottles. He confirmed his employment in Comotomo Korea with his photo under the title 'Titty party' and commented "Sometimes I suck this feeding bottle when I miss female breast so much" in Ilbe.

The misogeny is expressed as Ilbe's lauguage subculture[44] which conveys criticism of and frustration at the Korean gender structure where men must serve in the conscription and work the longest hours in the world, while the most commonly desired occupation for adult women is that of a housewife.
