• Summary

  Remembering LB City Cyber Lesbian Utopia” Vol.1 introduces a virtual Korean lesbian utopia ‘LB City’ (2000-2003), a now inactive website that envisioned inclusive living for those who are excluded from Korean heteropatriarchal society. The current South Korean feminist discourse is in a powerful flux with the momentum of #MeToo, hyper femme online communities (여초사이트), Hidden Camera crime protest (혜화역시위), and Corset-free movement (탈코르셋 운동). Taehee Whang examines the cyber utopia project that dreamed of nurturing socially inclusive language and culture (Printed Matter).
