The award-winning 2016 South Korean film The Bacchus Lady, directed by E J-yong, brings attention to elderly poverty, particularly women, portraying the struggles and humanity of one such woman navigating this harsh reality.

A "Bacchus Lady" is a term used in South Korea to describe elderly women, typically in their 50s and 60s, who engage in prostitution to earn a living. The name comes from "Bacchus-F" a popular energy drink in South Korea, which these women originally sold to elderly men in public parks and plazas as a pretext to initiate conversations and offer sexual services.
