NEW: A sex festival was due to be held in South Korea last weekend. It was blocked at every turn. Why?

Korea's attitude to sex, its problem of gender violence, and conservative politics all came into play.

홍콩 AP에서 인턴 중이었다. 한 동료분이 다급하게 부르더니 TV를 보라고 하셨다. 거대한 배가 반쯤 기울어서 서서히 가라앉고 있었다. 말도 안되는 일이라서 영화냐고 여쭤봤더니 이거 “real situation!”이라고 발을 동동 구르셨다. 가라앉는 배를 멍하게 지켜볼 수 밖에 없었다. 비현실적이었다.

'허망했다. 왜 이 결론을 받아들이는 데 오래 걸렸을까. 거대한 악당이 꾸민 음모 탓에 아이들이 희생됐다고 생각해야 마음의 도피처가 생겨서는 아닐까. 하지만 세월호 참사는 평범한 얼굴을 한 공범들이 조금씩 잘못을 쌓아 올리다 한순간에 무너져 발생한 사건이었다.'

ANALYSIS: Was South Korea's President thwarted by a spring onion?

President Yoon Suk Yeol and his party have suffered a crushing defeat. I look at what's behind it and what it means going forward - for him and South Korea.

Isn't this because the only constant identifier of Korean major parties is their foreign policy? Partisan voters primarily want to vote for their team but cannot tell which candidate is theirs if only presented with domestic policy.
