Who in your family is in charge of the laundry? Is it considered to be a man's or a woman's?

In Korea, laundry work was traditionally considered the responsibility of women, but recently, as most women are working and washing machines have become more advanced, there is a trend for men to do the laundry. However, some middle-aged Korean men in their 50s or older still don't know how to operate a washing machine. Even though I am in my late 50s, I already do my own laundry. It's not because I'm particularly progressive, but because there was a special moment in my family. It is difficult to reveal it in detail, but in the end, I am happy because I can wash my own clothes. My two daughters and I have made it a rule several years ago to wash our own clothes. Laundry includes drying laundry and storing laundry. In addition to laundry, I also clean the house and cook with my two daughters.

Thanks for doing your homework Sun! 

I appreciate your insight regarding this topic. In this modern time, men and women are considered responsibile for doing household chores. Gender doesn't matter anymore, and helping each other is more important.
