Half of Korean Men Say They're 'M-ness' People
Have you heard about the word 'M-ness'? This newly-coined term combines the letter M for 'men' and ness for 'character'. The word refers to a new type of man who is different from the stereotypical male who is overly concerned with power and honor.
A survey has found that half of Korean men think of themselves as M-ness people. Some 48 percent of respondents said they are M-ness in a survey of 923 male office workers in their 20s and 30s by job search website JobKorea (www.jobkorea.co.kr).
The result means that half of Korean men think they are active at work and considerate to others at the same time. Interestingly, respondents had different views about M-ness according to the type of workplace.
While 69.2 percent of employees of foreign companies said they are M-ness, only 44.8 percent of workers at small-to-medium size companies said they are M-ness. A JobKorea staffer said, 'Generally, the atmosphere in foreign companies is softer than that at other companies. I think that fact played a part in the result.'"
Undismayed is M-Ness, oh yes.
