Yun Hyon-Seok, a young Korean gay, committed suicide in 2003 because of the anger and disappointment about Korean society being very closed to homosexuals. Since this tragedy, some major affairs occurred such as the first trial about same-sex marriage (2013), punishment of homosexual in the Korean army (2017) and succeeding trial and error to establish a general anti-discrimination law. This article has an object to analyse what happened in South Korea since 2003 to understand the way of thinking and fixed idea of Korean, especially those of Protestant people who has a large population there and are generally opposed to sexual minorities. A future outlook will be given at the end of this article.
