Isn't she married?

I believe that in S.Korean culture, if a girl gets married, it is culturally accepted that they can stay at home while the husband takes care of the financial care.

What kind of husband would conduct maltreatment on Tossgirl? So her life is relatively more peaceful now.

현재 서지수가 운영하는 여성의류 쇼핑몰 토스걸(www.tossgirl.co.kr)에는 동생인 서지승의 사진이 대부분이다. 동생마저도 영화와 드라마 스케줄 때문에 두 자매는 쇼핑몰 사업에 소홀한 상태다. 서지수는 뭐가 그리 바쁜 것인지, 근황부터 들어보기로 했다.

“쇼핑몰 사업을 하면서 큰 매력을 느끼지는 못했어요. 누구나 할 수 있는 사업이고 한계가 느껴졌죠. 어느 순간부터 이건 단순히 돈을 버는 일이지 내가 정말 좋아하는 일은 아니구나 싶었죠. 프로게이머를 했던 것도 여자로서 계속 도전하는 일이라서 좋았거든요. 뭔가 새로운 도전을 해보고 싶었던 차에 지금의 대표님을 만나서 사업을 시작하게 된 거에요.”

It was culturally accepted like.. 20+ years ago. Nowadays South Korea women are doing movements for like female equality in workplaces and women's rights. They even have a couple feminist parties and on top of that, a female president. Just think of korea as a wannabe US because alot of what US does korea seems to be catching up on in the later years lol

sister > tossgirl

But regarding tossgirl, the situation with tossgirl.co.kr was addressed in a previous interview (but it was fomos so no full translation allowed zz):

rough trans:
Tossgirl's female clothing/accessory online shopping mall tossgirl(tossgirl.co.kr) has mostly pictures of her younger sister Seo Ji Seung. Her sister is very preoccupied with movie and drama schedules so both sisters are negligent about the shopping mall business. We decided to ask what Tossgirl was so busy doing these days.

"While running the business, I wasn't really drawn by the idea of an online shopping mall. It's a business anyone can do and I felt its limitations. I came to realize this business makes me money but it wasn't what I truly enjoyed doing. I enjoyed being a female pro-gamer because it was something I could constantly challenge myself to. I wanted to try something new and that's when I met my current company representative and started the [perfume] business.

And then she goes on to talk about this perfume stuff she's been doing called N+1 (?) some kind of niche, domestic perfume (I know nothing about perfume).

The guy she married is two years younger than her so not oppa o_o but ya I heard he's super duper rich. Killer said that Tossgirl got a mini cooper as a white day present from him lololol

You mean 20+ years ago women had option to work or stay at home, and nowdays they are doing movements to lose this option to be equal to men who never had such option? That's really nice of them.

In the west it's still culturally accepted if woman stays at home, i.e. to raise children, while man works. Such women are not frowned upon, it's accepted as normal. It's also normal if woman works too.

No you may have misunderstood what I was trying to say. 20+ years ago (maybe more?) women were expected to be stay at home housewives. Sure you could work but your wages would probably be lower and company's would prefer not to hire women (extra costs maternity leaves and stuff like that?)
I live in the US and I've seen instances where the gender roles are reversed, the female of the house works and manages finances and the male stays at home. Sure it's still pretty uncommon but it exists. And yes its also normal for women to either choose to be housewives or working women.

First bold: Isn't that still true today though? Its not like that women have changed their biological habits or anything.

2nd on: How fucking emasculating is that....

My point: I think that its also due to our consumer culture that have developed over the years. Houses use to be 1/3 of the size here in Canada (I've visited some old homes in an open house), this means higher mortgages and more property taxes. There are also seem to have better water system, electricity bills, sewage system, phone bills, cellphone plans, internet plans, car insurance, gas bills to pay, and more taxes that goes into healthcare system (also meddling with other countries' affairs if y'all catch ma drift).

Its not like the LAAAAAAYDIES wants to work, no most of them prefer to sit back. But because of the advent of such culture impact, they are sort of forced to work in order to pay for the bills.

TLDR: There are just more shit to spend money on these days.

Well as long as the Korean girls remain feminine and use their charm and beauty in order to climb up in the workplace, I'm all for feminism.

Its only when a girl starting to act like men and appear like a man, problems arises.

And yes, that's when problems arise, some that can only be resolved with a falcon punch.
