She's also a daughter of the former president(dictator) who modernized South Korea. Her father was the main reason why people either voted or didn't vote for her. When she was elected it came as a shock to most liberal people just like when Trump won.

Interesting, in the US we had two Bushes and recently narrowly avoided a second Clinton. In Canada they are on their second Trudeau. How many other republics/democracies is this happening to?

The dynasty thing seems to cross political lines in North America.

I think that 'regressive' is a better word for that type of gender stereotyping.

Also SK tried to impeach the president twice in the last decade. That's like two more than the US. In some ways it's a very democratic nation.

The first impeachment was not actually approved. It would be really historical if this second one is approved presumably happening in March.
