A bit of positive news in S. Korea: lesbian couple gets married. 🏳️‍🌈🎉👏 While same-sex marriage is not legal in S. Korea, nothing wrong in a ceremony with people that matter. A growing number of brave people are paving the way for LGBTQ rights in the country. Congrats!

"I grew up in the midst of wolves disguised as sheep, and I lived my life like a treacherous wolf. Now I know how big of a sinner I am. I am not doing this out of righteousness, but rather due to my heavy sense of guilt."

Today in Seoul's Sinchon, an array of LGBTQ flags with messages like: - We exist! - Our love is not a sin - Let's make an equal world together - Only love makes the world better - Queers are also here! - Enact an anti-discrimination law!

The feminism protest was followed by a march in downtown Seoul. No protest in South Korea calling for change would be complete without Girl's Generation iconic "Into The New World".

In the wake of the suicide of South Korean volleyball player Kim In-hyeok, who was violently bullied online and accused of wearing makeup and being gay, TV personality Hong Seok-cheon has responded on Instagram with strong words: "You online haters are murderers".

This is insane. A man claiming to be the grandson of former South Korean dictator/human butcher Chun Doo-hwan has taken to Instagram to expose his family's alleged crimes and quest for US citizenship. He's going all out, says he's also a sinner who will pay the price too.

전두환 손자 전우원이라고 주장하는 사람이 인스타로 가족 주변인 범죄 폭로하고 있는데 노빠꾸…. 본인은 NYU 학생 같고 가족과 그 주변 지인들의 마약, 사기 등을 주장하고 있음. 걱정되는 것은 폭로된 사람들 사진과 개인신상을 그대로 올려서 법적으로 문제가… 될수도. 마지막 신상은 내가 지움🥲

@jeeabbeylee Might I also point out that not only is COVID-19 testing in S. Korea free, it's open to all, including foreign residents, INCL. undocumented immigrants. Medical centres are exempt from obligation to notify immigration office of visa status of patients.

Korea's Ministry of Justice issued press release yesterday (albeit only in Korean, in Hangul file format only) stating that medical centres in Korea are exempt from obligation to notify immigration office of undocumented immigrants seeking medical check for coronavirus.

Amazing how Girls' Generation's "Into The New World" is still relevant after so long, as a song of hope, struggle, and demand for change. Often used during youth-led protests, it's also become South Korea's unofficial pride anthem. One of the most legendary K-pop debut songs.

5/ Then went through immigration. Made to install quarantine app on phone, which includes entering passport number and valid telephone number. An official then called the phone number entered on the app to check it was real. More on app later. Violators of rules face deportation.

According to the anonymous pervert-busting vigilante, he wants to rid the street of 100 perverts and educate people about the issue. Given how many he's able to catch so many is frightening and goes to show just how many of these disgusting people are roaming the streets.

I've heard people say Itaewon will never be the same again, or that they can't go to Itaewon anymore. I hope that Itaewon will be reborn as a safe space where everyone can get together again. If anything, I hope that Itaewon will be as vibrant as it has always been, if not more.

3/ Next, I was told to throw away my KF-94 mask that I was wearing, replace it with their own even tighter twin strap 3M KF-95 mask, and made to wait to get tested for Covid-19 even though I already had a negative certificate. Test was carried out on the freezing windy tarmac.

LIVE AT SEOUL PRIDE: Welcome to South Korea’s largest annual pride festival that has kicked off a few hours ago in Euljiro - different from the original spot that was hijacked by a conservative Christian group and a decision backed by the city government.
