There is such a story, there is such a Korean movie...
The author was repeatedly abused, the actor was humiliated in every way, he was given a low score, and was threatened by death. Some people even went to the Presidential Palace to petition: demand the ban on this movie!
Why does this girl named " Kim Ji-young " arouse public anger? What heinous crimes did she commit?
Today, let’s talk about this movie that just released, which caused strong controversy and tear apart Korean society: "Kim Ji-young in 1982"

1982, a baby girl was born in a hospital in Seoul, South Korea.
Her parents named her: Kim Ji-young .
In the 1980s, Kim Ji-young was a common name in South Korea, just like Lee Juan, Zhang Li, Wang Fang in China...

"Kim Ji-young" is played by "Jung Youmi" as
ordinary Kim Ji-young, born in an ordinary family, his father is a civil servant and his mother is a housewife.
Since childhood, Kim Ji-young has lived in a small house with his parents, sister, younger brother, grandma, and a family of six.

Like the millions of post-80s girls in South Korea, Kim Ji-young follows the rules and follows the rules and follows every step of her life: going to school, graduation, going to work, making friends, falling in love, getting married, having children...
33 years old, she went from an ordinary working woman to a housewife.
In the eyes of people around, although Kim Ji-young is not rich and noble, his life can also be called a happy and happy life, which is what is called: plainness is the truth.



But recently, my husband found something wrong with Kim Ji-young: She seemed to be on the body by a ghost...
Once, she transformed into a senior sister who just passed away last year and mentioned 2 to her husband. The past that I confessed to him 0 years ago...
The husband was so scared that his whole body was stiff. Because of this, only he and that senior sister knew about it...


Mid-Autumn Festival, Kim Ji-young suddenly said to his mother-in-law:
I said that my mother-in-law, is it important to reunite only your family? We also have no other chance to get together to see the children except for the holidays... Since your daughter can go back to her parents' home, we should also let our daughter come back, right?
Whether it is tone, expression and movement, they are exactly the same as Kim Ji-young's mother...
Everyone was scared to death.
The panicked husband quickly contacted the psychiatrist...



October 23, 2019, the movie "Kim Ji-young Born in 1982" was released in South Korea...
Today, logged in to the Hong Kong theater in China, with Douban scores as high as 8.6 points...

movie is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name, author Zhao Nanzhu, is a mother born in the 1970s.
She spent two months creating "Kim Ji-young Born in 1982". Most of the plots in the book come from her personal experience...

Some content of this article comes from: Taiwan version of the novel "Kim Ji-young Born in 1982" | Author: Zhao Nanzhu | Translator: Yin Jia-hyun
However, this best-selling book has caused severe controversy in South Korea...
On the one hand, countless female readers believe that the writing is too real and delicately reproduces the dilemma of women's work and life...
But on the other hand, many Korean men believe that this is a story of extreme feminists, patients with persecuted paranoia, deliberately provoking gender opposition...
Before the release of the film, some netizens ran to the Presidential Palace of Blue House to petition, and wanted to Ask the South Korean authorities to ban the release of the film...
However, South Korean President Moon Jae-in and the national MC Yoo Jae-suk , publicly recommended this book...



Network mob launched a boycott of the film...
Valentine's heroine Zheng Youmei , male protagonist Gong Yoo , launch personal attack...
To the stars who once recommended this book, burn portraits, cut photos, and personal threats...
This story tear apart Korean society...

heroine Zheng Youmei was attacked by netizens

photos of female artists who support this book were netizens Burning
This novel tells the story of an ordinary Korean woman who suffered from prejudice, discrimination and harassment during her growth, and finally suffered from depression...
Kim Ji-young's experience was nothing earth-shaking, nor was he abused or domestic violence, but it was those little bits of malice, insignificant prejudice, which eventually penetrated Kim Ji-young's heart...
Some netizens commented: Almost every Asian woman can substitute it. Referring to boys over girls, unspoken rules in the workplace, parenting difficulties...Every point hits the key point, as if reading an autobiography.


When he was very young, Kim Ji-young knew that she and her younger brother were different children...
The delicious food at home, so of course, it is sent to my younger brother first;
The younger brother's chopsticks, socks, sanitary clothes... are always paired, but Kim Ji-young's items can never be made up in pairs;
If there are two umbrellas, the younger brother must have one by himself, and the older sister and Kim Ji-young are both two. Let’s hold on...



When I was a child, Kim Ji-young always felt that his younger brother’s milk powder was particularly delicious...
Every time my mother made milk powder for her brother, she would follow her and dip her fingers inadvertently sprinkled on the table to eat...
Sometimes my mother would ask her to lift her head, open her mouth, and then scoop a spoonful of milk powder into her mouth so that she could enjoy it.
If grandma finds out that her granddaughter steals her grandson’s milk powder, she will slap her hard on her back, which catches her off guard. The milk powder sprays out of her mouth and nostrils, turning into a white mist...

Kim Ji-young can’t figure out why grandma is a woman, but she always says: woman, you must have a son. Fortunately, I have a son, so I can eat the rice cooked by my son and sleep on the kang that my son cooks.
But in fact, those who are actually cooking, burning kang, and laying quilts are not grandma's baby son, but her daughter-in-law...

After Kim Ji-young went to school, she found that boys' school number was ahead of girls, and everything she did was given priority...
can eat first, queue first, set off first, check homework first...

s school requirements for girls to wear are much higher than boys: skirts must go over the knees, and hips and thighs are not allowed to be exposed;
No matter how hot it is in summer, you must wear a round-necked sleeveless sweatshirt under a white shirt. It is not allowed to be changed to a thin shoulder strap vest. It cannot be lace...
As long as you show a little more and show feminine characteristics, it will easily cause discussion among boys, make people think about it, and cause trouble...


One day, Kim Ji-young came home from school and was followed by a strange man. He ran home in panic...
After my father found out, he scolded him in a scattered manner: Isn't it worthy of being harassed when he was so short?

After graduating from college, can you finally speak with your strength and be on par with boys?
But even for girls with good character and academic performance, even if you are better than boys in all aspects, when schools recommend excellent students, companies will still give priority to men when recruiting...
Because: Girls are too smart, men will be under great pressure.


Finally found a job, you have to face a more cruel reality: income inequality.
The average income of Korean women is less than two-thirds of that of men. In other words, if a man earns 10,000 a month, a woman can only get over 6,000.

Of course, with a huge disparity in salary, the job is equally large.
Women who are just entering the workplace have to pour tea and water consciously and serve other employees like an old mother...
Not to mention those well-known plots: the yellow accent at the dinner table, the wine pouring of the leader, the male colleague's fingers at his appearance, intentional or unintentional rigging...
women have to work several times of their efforts to barely get a comparable return to men...


However, the bigger challenge is: marriage and family.


In Korea, the marital status of women is roughly like this...
Before getting married, it is best for girls to have never been in a relationship. If you have had a boyfriend, it is: chewed chewing gum.
When you get married, you have to live with your mother-in-law, no matter where you get along...
On the contrary, if your son-in-law is willing to live with your mother-in-law, you will be praised by everyone: What a good man.

After marriage, you have to have a child immediately. If your belly has not moved for a year and a half, you will be bombarded by your aunts and sisters: Is this girl infertile?
After marriage, Kim Ji-young couldn't resist her husband's strong instigation and became pregnant before she could figure it out.

For this reason, she had to leave the workplace.
Although it was a job that had suffered a lot of grievances, for Kim Ji-young, it represents her connection with the world and reflects her value...
Unfortunately, no one cares about resigning except herself...
The boss had long expected that women would not be able to do long, and his family also felt that taking care of children is a woman's duty. In every 5 married women in South Korea, one resigned because of marriage and childbirth, which is too common...
Except for Kim Ji-young, everyone felt that should be the case.


The old man comforted her: After giving birth, I will go home early to help you, wash clothes, cook, and take care of the child... Don't always think about losing, think about what you will get...
Kim Ji-young is popular:
Can you stop saying "help" again?
Isn’t this your home? What's your business? Is your child?
Because of my children, I lost my job, life plan, and my hobbies and dreams, but what you lost is just the happy time of drinking after get off work.


The child was born. Just after experiencing the pain of giving birth, Kim Ji-young began to take care of her baby alone...
The child cried day and night, and Kim Ji-young could only hold her to do housework, go to the bathroom, and even hold her to make up for sleep... Because she had to feed her breast milk every two hours, and she had not been able to sleep well for more than two hours for a long time.


Her wrists were suffering from arthritis and could only delay her husband's vacation before she had time to see a doctor.
The doctor said sarcastically: In the past, women used to knock on clothes by the river with wooden sticks. Now women have vacuum cleaners for housework, and even if they have washing machines, they feel tired, and they get sick if they take care of a baby. What's wrong with women now?

What's even more heartbreaking is...
One day, Kim Ji-young finished the housework and pushed the child to the coffee shop and bought a cup of coffee.
This is her rare breathing in the day.
But someone muttered beside him: I also want to use my husband’s money to buy coffee and wander around. Mom cuckoo is so lucky...


trembled with anger: Do I not even have the qualification to drink a cup of coffee? What do I buy with the money my husband earns and what does it have to do with them?
She couldn't understand: I bet on my life and gave up all my life, career, and dreams, but became a parasite...





no doubt, "Kim Ji-young Born in 1982" is a sharp novel that puts the injustice and humiliation that women have endured from childhood to adulthood in front of you, as if a magnifying glass, illuminating the wound clearly.
But it was not extreme or out of control. Just like, when Kim Ji-young was called a "mother insect", she did not argue publicly, she digested herself, and at most she hid and cried...
couldn't help but criticize her husband, and immediately apologized and took the initiative to take on most of the housework.

What she couldn't understand was that before she gave birth, no one had ever told her that giving birth was so painful and tiring to take care of her...
Does it mean that everyone thinks that this is natural, and women should not complain, or even be qualified to call them tired?

The most heartbreaking thing is Kim Ji-young's mother.
After giving birth to Kim Ji-young, she was pregnant with a girl, but under pressure from her husband and mother-in-law, she went to the hospital alone to "take off" the child.
All this is not her voluntary, nor is it her choice, but the consequences have to be borne by her alone...
Even when she burst into tears in the hospital, she couldn't find a person to comfort her...

In this regard, a Chinese netizen commented:
is too dull, as if she was just catching a girl from the street, and she could tell similar stories...

novel author Zhao Nanzhu said: I have a daughter, she said that when she grew up, she wanted to be an astronaut and a scientist. I hope, I believe, and I sincerely hope that my daughter’s dream will be realized. And every girl in this world can pursue greater dreams.
Now, when this novel is on the shelves, when this movie is released, when maliciousness hits like a surging tide...
We know that it is not easy to realize this little girl's dream.
