Criticism of South Korean MP's red dress stirs sexism debate

Ryu Ho-jeong, 28, says she wore colourful outfit to challenge male dominance in parliament

South Korea is again confronting its outdated attitudes towards women in the workplace after a female MP was criticised for attending a parliamentary session in a colourful dress.

Ryu Ho-jeong, who at 28 is the youngest member of the country's national assembly, drew condemnation and praise after she was photographed in the national assembly chamber in what local media described as a red minidress earlier this week.
