Mom is Superman.

Moms do work hard---and in Korea, husbands don't help out---but I had to snicker at this S-Oil ad with Kim Nam-ju that ends with "Mom is Superman."



English makes me hard. *sigh* Kim is on the soap opera "Queen of Housewives" (내조의 여왕).

This is a pet peeve of mine, distorted generalizations.

The story you cite mentions "the 32 minutes Korean men spend on average doing the same chores."

So Korean men (on average) do in fact "help out," but just not enough (on average).

"Mom is Superman"?

Talk about gender confusion! Don't these adsmen know English even at the level of a freshman!
