Bae In-gyu, the South Korean far-right YouTuber and head of the anti-feminist group New Men's Solidarity, has been found dead after reportedly falling from his home in Yeongjongdo, Jung-gu, Incheon. He was 36.
The controversial online figure had remained at the centre of political and social disputes in South Korea for years, including his anti-feminist activism, support for former President Yoon Suk Yeol and several legal controversies. News of his death quickly prompted harsh reactions online, with some users openly mocking his death rather than expressing sympathy.
Bae was best known as the leader of New Men's Solidarity, an organisation established around an anti-feminist message and men's rights activism. Academic research has examined the group as part of South Korea's contemporary anti-feminist movement, particularly its use of digital platforms to mobilise supporters.
His activism later became closely linked with South Korean conservative politics. Following the emergency martial law crisis in December 2024, Bae participated in rallies opposing the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol.
In January 2025, he was linked to the riot at the Seoul Western District Court. Months later, police investigated Bae over the incident and searched locations linked to suspects.
I think he was probably antifeminst because women Korean singers are off the hook. Everything has to be pink. If music had a color, that music would be pink. It's like extremely feminine. He just happens to have been born into that. I'm a feminist and I could only survive a good 357 "golden" radio plays per day. LOL. Cmon! The music is fine. My wife says the korean makeup is the best worldwide.
Had he been born to a Chinese couple in the American oldwest time, he would have spent his years making railroad tracks. It's a droplet in the sunami. If he was a worker in the current western USA, he'd be riding a little trolley cart fixing the tracks in some modern way.
Today is today and we have feminism and freedom for everyone who's lucky enough to be free. We just have to "deal with it". Don't like feminist women? Fine, move on.
