Korean people had been widely influenced by Confucianism culture since Joseon dynasty(around 15C ~ ). And the culture based on Confucianism is very strict, suppressing one’s own feelings and desires. But as you know, now that kind of thinking has been almost washed out these days, and it became a representative culture of ‘elders’. And ‘Confucianism girls’ means that young girls who didn’t think themselves effected by Confucianism culture realize they were strict in the deep down in their heart. (And who on earth can not be shocked seeing Cardi’s M/V...?)
