the Ashley Madison cheating website, which is making a lucrative, controversial splash in South Korea in the wake of a landmark ruling earlier this year that decriminalizes adultery. So great is the interest here that company executives expect it to be a top-three market globally for them in five years, after the United States and Canada.
Executives say a large number of women are signing up, taking advantage of increasing access to disposable cash and the freedom to do what men have always done. Not all is equal, however: The consequences of getting caught remain much greater for women here than they are for men.

Successful men caught cheating usually suffer no career setbacks and often stay married, said Cho Kyungae, a senior counselor at the Korea Legal Aid Center for Family Relations, an independent, nonprofit group that has provided legal and marriage counseling for more than 150,000 couples or families.
For a woman, however, the damage is “irreparable” — huge social stigma that can include the loss of not only her job but her family, Cho said.
“Society’s view is: ‘How could someone’s wife dare to do that? Isn’t she ashamed as a mother?’” Cho said.
