[2] Chingusai's main focus is to raise awareness on the importance of LGBTQ+ human rights and fight against the prejudices on sexual minorities in South Korea through social activism.
[4] The same year, some members of the group shared their coming-out experiences through their "first gay memoir" entitled "No longer sad or ashamed[2][3]" (더 이상 슬프지도 부끄럽지도 않다, Tŏ isang sŭlp'ŭjido pukkŭrŏpchido ant'a, Seoul: Chŏngjamot, 1994).
[1][2] In May 1998, Chingusai established their headquarters in Jongro district, Nakwon-dong and a year after in 1999, they received with Kkirikkiri the Felipa de Souza Award from IGLHRC (International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission).
In parallel with the apparition of groups advocating for LGBTQ+ human rights such as Chingusai, also appeared a lot of online communities (BBS) such as Xzone, Hwarang (actually Ivancity) and Tajinet.
[3] One of the communities, Xzone (엑스죤), was asked by the Commission of Youth Protection (청소년보호위원회, Ch'ŏngsonyŏnbohowiwŏnhoe) and the Ethics Committee on Information and Communication (정보통신윤리위원회, Chŏngbot'ongshinyulliwiwŏnhoe) to shut down the page for displaying inappropriate content that they qualified under the label "homosexuality".
[2] Another attempt of unity was made in 2002 along with Kkirikkiri and other organizations called LGBT Korea (한국 동성애자 연합, Han'guk Tongsŏngaeja yŏnhap) but did not get the expected results.
In 2006, Chingusai changed its tagline from "Korean gay men's human rights association" (한국 남성 동성애자 인권운동 단체, Han'guk namsŏng tongsŏngaeja in'gwŏnundong tanch'e) to "Korean gay human rights association" (한국 게이 인권운동 단체, Han'guk gei tongsŏngaeja in'gwŏnundong tanch'e) in order to broaden the target of their action.
[12] As an important factor in the increasing visibility of the LGBTQ+ community in the Korean mainstream media, Chingusai also took part in a lot of activities related to culture, and especially film production.
It shows the daily life and coming out of four gay men: a movie director (Lee Hyŏksang), a human rights activist (Jang Pyŏngkwŏn), a cook (Choe Yŏngsu) and an office worker (Chŏng Yul).
