First of all, haenyeo have been glorified by feminists as a drama or as a model of an independent woman, but in reality, it is a monopoly business and not everyone can do it, so there are many unspeakable negative effects. Things like scolding the villagers and being territorial. Whether it’s a man or a woman, the bullying and territoriality is the same.
When you tour Jeju Island, you can go downstairs and eat seafood that is said to have been picked by female divers.
I was thinking of my grandmother and when I went down and ordered it, it was a complete mess haha. Even then, I was shocked because it was a mess to exchange 30,000 won or so.
This is why I won’t go to Jeju Island
In the old days when I went, it wasn’t up to 50,000 won, but wow, it’s 50,000 won.
