As the rise in population continues to pose a serious challenge to countries such as India and the United States, another kind of challenge, stark opposite to this, is slowly taking over South Korea.
According to a Bloomberg report, South Korea is grappling with a low fertility rate as substantiated by government data indicating that the number of deaths in a year will soon outnumber the number of births.
Recently, a section of South Korean women have taken to the bi-hon lifestyle (to not marry, to not have children), thereby rejecting the mi-hon or the "not yet married" tag.
The bi-hon lifestyle has culminated into the #NoMarriage movement on Twitter.
But why are women– especially women in South Korea – flooding the internet with the #NoMarriage hashtag, despite a lingering population problem?
