Ashley Madison has become lucrative in South Korea, and is continuing to make a splash in the country, and this comes in wake of a landmark ruling that was made earlier this year, which decriminalized adultery. It is flourishing so much there that executives at the company believe that it will be a top three market globally for them, after Canada and America, and they predict this will happen for them within five years.
Executives have even mentioned how there are many women signing up for the site, and they are taking advantage of access to disposable cash, as well as the freedom to do what many men do, cheat.
In the past, the website was closed down due to a six-decade anti-adultery law, so it wasn’t shocking news. South Korea bars people from viewing porn, as well as reading North Korea’s media, but eventually Ashley Madison sued, and back in February a court ended up striking down the law.
When the ban was finally lifted, the site ended up generating $400,000 in revenue, and that was just after two weeks of reopening for business in the country.
Also, the company said more women than men under 45 have signed up to use the site.
A spokesman for the company said men have always had affairs, but the problem for women was that the consequences they faced were much graver.
