South Korea actually has a major problem with sexism and gender-based violence. Especially with men secretly filming women! It doesn’t seem unlikely that the filming of the gynecologist clinic was done in secret as well. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it actually gets punished.
There is also the larger context in which women experience daily sexism and violence. This fundamentally changes how they react to further violence. Victims of sexualized violence often think of themselves as responsible for the violence they receive, because society constantly tells them they are at fault! Victim blaming is part of society’s effort to tell women they are worthless and to keep control over them. If you solely focus on how the victims of this act of violence are at fault here, you are part of the problem.
