Yi So-Yeon, the first Korean astronaut, female

Apr 9, 2008 Around the Word


I always have the impression on Korea that it is a very very MCP country. Men there are everything and women must always listen to men. For example, very often I need to liaise with overseas colleagues. For colleagues in Korea, very often, tasks passed down will be pushed to the females to do it, even though the females may be in more senior position. So, when I saw the news that the 1st Korean astronaut is actually a female, I was rather surprised. Bravo to you, Yi So-Yeon!
