But, such events have come under scrutiny as social issues due to the collectivist nature of Korean corporate culture, which has led to structural problems characterized by rigidity and coercion. If you make a bad impression on your colleagues it can lead to a tense and awkward workplace. Negative talk and gossip can extend outside the hoesik, leading to a breakdown of relationships and the internal atmosphere. There is also the problem of coercion, many company employees are forced to attend, although their attendance is often passive and uncomfortable. Hoesik, while intended for team bonding, can unfortunately create an environment where sexual harassment and assault can occur. Many factors can lead to this, such as power dynamics, alcohol consumption, pressure, and much more. It's important to note that not all hoesik events involve sexual harassment or assault. However, the potential for such incidents exists, and it's crucial to address these issues to create a safer and more respectful workplace culture.

In conclusion, Hoesik can be a fun and engaging activity done with colleagues to build connections and relieve stress. It can be good to build the social life in the workplace, but it is important to remember that like in many big events such as Hoesik, it can have negative impacts and effect such as gossip and assult. Be cautious and know the risks, and decline if needed, even if it may be viewed negatively.
