Bae In-gyu, the South Korean far-right YouTuber and head of the anti-feminist group New Men's Solidarity, has been found dead after reportedly falling from his home in Yeongjongdo, Jung-gu, Incheon. He was 36.

The controversial online figure had remained at the centre of political and social disputes in South Korea for years, including his anti-feminist activism, support for former President Yoon Suk Yeol and several legal controversies. News of his death quickly prompted harsh reactions online, with some users openly mocking his death rather than expressing sympathy.

Bae was best known as the leader of New Men's Solidarity, an organisation established around an anti-feminist message and men's rights activism. Academic research has examined the group as part of South Korea's contemporary anti-feminist movement, particularly its use of digital platforms to mobilise supporters.

His activism later became closely linked with South Korean conservative politics. Following the emergency martial law crisis in December 2024, Bae participated in rallies opposing the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol.

In January 2025, he was linked to the riot at the Seoul Western District Court. Months later, police investigated Bae over the incident and searched locations linked to suspects.

Others made similarly provocative remarks, including: 'He probably blamed feminists on the way down.'
