Meeting ladyboys in South Korea

East Asian cultures tend to be more conservative when it comes to LGBT. Countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea are not as accommodating compared to Thailand and the Philippines. Homosexuality is still considered a taboo topic in South Korea. And being trans is so much more controversial. The LGBT rights in Korea are somewhat progressive. But, there is still much to do for the LGBT community.

The term ladyboy is not appreciated by everyone. We use it on this page for educational purposes. For a detailed explanation, please read our dedicated page on the term “ladyboy”.

Getting to know ladyboys in South Korea

South Korean ladyboys do experience discrimination and violence. That is why a lot of them do not come out or come out only when they are passing. You don’t hear much about South Korean ladyboys compared to other Asian ladyboys. This is because of how low-key they live their lives.

When they decide to be out, they can be ostracized by their families and communities. Oftentimes you’ll see South Korean ladyboys come out when they are in Western countries. Even then, they still would not be accepted by their families. And this is just the culture there.
