2 years for gang rape??? In Australia they'd be gone for decades. That's the problem. The laws are't strict enough. It's a patriarchal problem. Disgusting.
Australia’s legal system is a bit better, but not by much. It’s a case close to me, but there was a p*do charged with 6 counts of SAing girls under the age of 10, and he got 100 hours community service. That’s it. It’s ridiculous. There’s no justice, not properly.
because the MEN in power and/or with status are also criminals and corrupt hence they wont do anything to strengthen laws and protect women, because for what when it benefits a society that is made for men by men?
No one is talking. 840,000 people are making minors targets of sexual crimes by sharing videos containing personal information in women's cafes. Kakao's official women-only cafe called (Yeo-seong-si-dae) is illegally sharing personal information and face&body information of minors. It is notorious for sharing face and nude photos. If you look at the data on what information is being shared, they secretly filmed a minor wearing a school uniform and commented on it, saying, "he has a pretty genitals," and "The face and nude photos are cute. If the boy is 17, he's perfect as a sexual plaything." It's Daum Kakao official cafe became public for the first time because foreign were also recently targeted.
Girls romanticized Korean guys because of K-Drama thinking that all of them are gentlemen, polite, innocent, loyal, etc, etc but in reality, it is the opposite. That's why it's called "drama" because it is fictional, not reality.
Even here in the Philippines people go crazy over a race who thinks they are above any Asians and are having fun mocking us. I wish they're forever banned 🚫
Actually, Korean dramas also tell a lot about the society. People constantly commenting on someone's weight or looks, feeling obliged to drink until late with their coworkers or bosses, putting pressure on working mothers, openly slapping younger siblings or children etc. Even in romanticized versions of reality some things really stand out for people from other countries and societies
It's not about Korean culture or Korean men's mentality alone, it's about men's mentality in general. This kind of thing happens everywhere. One common denominator...
As a Korean woman, i hope every people know the present of Korean women right. Thank you BBC. In Korea, whenever women stand on women's side, they are considered as terrorist(surprisingly, some men think feminist as terrorist). Raising voice for women is definitely not easy in Korea. It needs so much courage in Korea. I just want safe place for every women. Korea is not that place for sure.
Is this why women rights activist are advocating the 4Bs (do nots)... do not date, do not marry, do not have children and do not have sex? It makes sense now but your country birth rate is already so low....
이들의 말과는 다르게, 한국사회가 한국남자에 대해 착취하는 내용들을 안다면 이렇게 일방적으로 한국남자를 욕되게 할수는 없을 것입니다. 평균적 한국남자의 상황은 버닝썬과는 다릅니다. 한국여자들도 압니다 평균적 한국남자들이 착취당하고 있으며 버닝썬과는 무관한 삶을 살고 있다는 것을. 그걸 알면서도 한국여자는 남자들을 이렇게 매도하고 있습니다. 한국에 대한 거짓을 멈추세요 한국여자들아.
Contrary to what they say, if we knew how Korean society exploits Korean men, we would not be able to unilaterally dishonor Korean men like this. The situation of the average Korean man is different from Burning Sun. Korean women also know that the average Korean man is exploited and lives a life that has nothing to do with Burning Sun. Even though they know this, Korean women continue to criticize men like this. Stop lying about Korea, Korean women.
Seungri got the lightless because of YG Entertainment connection to politicians. Jung Joon-young seems like he's alone and didn't have someone great behind him so that's why he got more. i used to really like kpop from 2009 - 2013/4, just grew old but still dapping every now and then. it wasn't a surprised for me when i heard about this scandal and their prison terms. even cases of murder or pedophile, the perpetrator got no more than 10 yrs - like for a nobody person. i feel like the reason the sentence is so low is because of the politicians in their national assembly, they probably did it too so they also don't want a harsh sentence so that's probably why they wrote the law that way.
I'm a high school girl in Korea. First of all, I'm truly,sincerely grateful that bbc brought this up because If I raise questions about these kinds of issues at school, I'm branded a thumping piggy feminist, an "emotional disorder." I shed tears of unknown reason when I saw comments from foreigners who said they would listen to this and stand in solidarity. Thank you very much. When this incident broke out, Korea was quiet. When Room N broke out (a case in which 260,000 Korean men watched a video clip in which a caterpillar was placed on a video device sexually assaulting elementary, middle, and high school and adult women my age), Korean men exaggerated the incident, saying that the actual sexual assault rate would be reduced only when the victims watched such videos as "enjoyed" because they wanted to. The mastermind of this nightmare was sentenced to 40 years in prison, and the person who disclosed their personal information about the criminals in anger was sentenced to two years in prison. Three years later, just yesterday, a group of male students from Seoul National University, the nation's most prestigious university, posted illegal compounds of 60 women from their alumni and enjoyed watching them in more than 200 chat rooms. Another man from a prestigious medical school killed his girlfriend, who told him to break up at the same school. Even though women are being sexually assaulted and killed every day in this land, the media keeps silent about the demonstration of a female nursery teacher who has no motherhood, and Korean men treat me as if it is the only big deal. It is a sense of victimization. Women also enjoy watching children's play, but they cover up the case, saying, "Isn't it the female version of Room N?" I cannot comment on these issues at school. That is why I desperately need your attention and solidarity. please Don't believe what they say in K-drama. I hope women take care of yourself and stay safe.
Stay safe out there! If you and your homegirls ever decide to go party, please remain constantly alert and don’t let anyone tamper with your drinks or make you drink a lot! Here in America this happened before but recently ladies are taking action against date rape and stuff. Stay safe ❤
What the hell. It’s crazy that k-drama is a lie 😭 I feel bad for korean women. I could never live in a society so terrible where the men are misogynistic overly conservative pigs. Here in the U.S its bad, but holy shit South Korea is a SCARY place for woman!!
South Korean women are expressing their gratitude to BBC for recently covering the Burning Sun crime committed by Korean men against Korean women. I am very grateful to the BBC for reporting in detail on the incidents of gang rape, gang violence (torture, including pulling out women's teeth), illegal filming, and police cover-up committed by Korean men at Burning Sun in Korea for several years. Before the BBC reported, Korean women who have been sexually assaulted are afraid to report it because Korean men have threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped. When Goo Hara, a courageous female victim despite threats, tried to expose the crime, the illegal filming victim was murdered. Another rape victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but instead she was charged with false accusation. As you can see from the video, the male police officer knew that the women had been brutally raped. If the BBC had not covered sexual violence in Korea, the Korean media would have forever ignored this terrible incident. To this day, the Korean men who committed the crime and the male police officers who covered up the incident are innocent, but thanks to the BBC, Korean women are demanding that the Korean men be punished. Additionally, thanks to the BBC's report, the 'Milyang' gang rape incident that occurred in Korea also received attention. The ‘Milyang Incident’ is an incident in which dozens of Korean men gang-raped a Korean woman. The men were all found not guilty because they were high school students. Afterwards, the victim's father abused her and extorted money from her because his daughter had been sexually assaulted. Including myself, could not trust the Korean media, which only reported articles favorable to Korean men. It is natural for Korean men who secretly drug women and commit group sexual assault to be acquitted, and it is not even reported on the news. In Korea, incels are rampant in everyday life, including politics, business, news, law and society. A few days ago, a Korean woman was assaulted by her Korean boyfriend and reported it to the police for several days. However, the police did not intervene because the woman defended herself against the man's attack, and the woman ended up being beaten to death by her boyfriend. Another Korean woman, Tzuyang, was abused and threatened by her Korean boyfriend for several years, and he extorted 4 billion won from her, but it was only revealed a few days ago. However, many Korean male UA-camrs mocked her. Statistically, Korea is the country with the highest rate of women being murdered by men in the world. Every day, Korean men commit serious crimes against Korean women, including murder, illegal filming, stalking, and assault. Wonderful foreign men and women, I would be very grateful if you could help raise the human rights of Korean women.
some Korean male bully or take advantage on korean female without notice themself. I experienced myself when I study in New Zealand. One of my male friend borrow my video cam to film their porn and asking me to join. I gave my cam to my friend and refused to join them. Next day my korean male friend come in the class room and open my cam show of his porn while his girl friend stand behind him and smile to all classmates in the class. I was not ok about it, not respect, not care at all. after that day I did not talk to male friend at all . I took the videotap secretly give it back to the female who was took a video.
I am a South Korean woman. I am so grateful to the BBC for reporting in detail on incidents of gang rape, mass violence (torture, including the extraction of women's teeth), illegal filming and police cover-ups committed by Korean men in South Korea over the years. Before the BBC report, Korean women who had been sexually assaulted were afraid to report it because Korean men threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped. Despite the threats, brave victim Goo Hara tried to expose the crime, but was eventually murdered by a Korean man. A Korean man was captured on CCTV breaking into Goo Hara's house just before her death, but the Korean men concluded her death was a suicide. Even after the BBC report, police have not yet investigated the culprit. Another sexual assault victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but Korean men accused her of making false accusations even though they knew she had been brutally sexually assaulted. On the other hand, the Korean man who committed the crime and the Korean male police officer who covered up the incident were either found not guilty or sentenced to only six months to 5 year in prison. Most foreigners seem to think that Korean male idols receive low punishment because they have a lot of assets. That's not true In Miryang, South Korea, dozens of Korean male high school students gang-raped a female high school student and distributed the video, but all were found not guilty. Most of the parents of those high school students were ordinary or poor people.
I cannot wrap my head around the fact that they were sentenced to a few months of jail for rape, sex trafficking, illegally drugging and filming women without their consent... I already knew there are huge societal issues in South Korea, especially regarding women's rights and how male offenders are never punished, but I think that of this documentary, I find the lack of judicial action and protection even more disgusting and distressing than what these women have had to suffer and will have to keep enduring without a reform of the law.
Yeah and people wonder why Korean women are not as interested in dating or having children. The concept of legal protection just doesn't exist for many of these young women
At least I hope that what used to be fans that loved them, instead will despise them, and use this opportunity to wise up and perhaps look for someone that is kind and loving, instead of someone that have looks, but are ugly on the inside. A good example of how not to judge books by their covers.
It's tough to say but they are just blind people, they are the people who don't know anything and only knows the good side of em, it's like when you meet a new person you don't know their back story and what's in their mind and if they are actually good or not at first, it's the same with the fans too, they just started stanning them for their looks and voices they be delusional imagining that they will marry their idols, and for that they always try their best to protect the idols at any cost, but little do they know they are protecting monsters, it's just their mind examining that all the Koreans are like kdrama characters but they should need to be grow up but yeah the fans one, it's just their thinking that they are innocent of some videos
they're blinded by the handsome faces and the fake imagery on camera. at the end of the day, for everyone and everybody, we're humans. no matter how "perfect" we are
majority of koreans know they are innocent, they already called out this shady company for trying to protect their sponsors who were involved in another by far more disgusting case than what these people here were accused of.
seungri jjy and the club are 3 completely unrelated cases and everyone who followed this knows that seungri already proved that he was never the owner nor does it belong to any other celebrity and jjy was never mentioned regarding that club and the 3 former idols were just jjys friends and also never accused of being involved in his case.
Damn there’s no justice in Skorea. Seungri only being sentenced to 1.5 years is a joke after the amount of trauma and damage he has done! And they say SKorea is safe.. for who?!
thats because the only thing he did was gambling once he literally disproved everything else and was never even accused of the things this shady channel made up here that they cant even back up dont be a hater and cherrypick the sources to fit your hate rants.
The female reporters are so brave. S.Korea call feminist to any woman who claims equality or rights. They fought against all that and the power of the agencies and the corruption in the police to give a bit of justice to the victims. But as the victim said, they don't even expect justice,they know their society. The punishment was a joke to try to lower the noise of the crimes.
As A Malaysian, I am disgusted when I found out there's a recent news about a high profile businessman with title "Tan Sri" invited Seungri to sing on his birthday party. SHAME ON YOU!
that the problem , majority malaysian tend to not do research and stuck in their fangirl past, and layan that shameful ex idol, he's been in malaysia a few times already, probably has some business here god knows what
@@rosedalinevaletine6931 No wonder men created thousands of wars in the world to kill each other? lol. They don't "support" each other, they only hide their crimes to continue to do it.
What's even more disgusting is WOMEN were protecting these men. Their fans were attacking the women who were exposing these men. How anyone can defend a sexual assailant is beyond my understanding. These guys just sing and dance for a living. They are not saving lives at some hospital or doing any humanitarian work. They are monkeys on stage, yet they get treated like gods

The man at the end saying that burning sun is happening everywhere and his own club is doing it?! Wtf?? You still have a responsibility to report it!! Knowing women are still being raped and sitting back and just saying "well its everywhere so what am i going to do" is crazy!
i agree but its nto crazy to feel helpless. you know how many women report stalking and the police are like im sorry nothing we can do until he does something illegal
@@duckiechen1321 Unfortunately stalking laws have only recently been put into stronger law in South Korea, after a woman was murdered in a subway bathroom by her stalker and he was captured on CCTV. It still did not go far enough to protect women overall. Even Korean singers and actors, who have to deal with incredibly invasive stalker fans, didn't have legal recourse to deal with them until the last couple of years. Most of their companies seem to settle out of court if they receive an apology from the perpetrator and promise to work better on themselves.
That's the thing, he needs hard evidence, and even with that, the police and justice system are a joke. It took reporters, lawyers, celebrities, and years worth of evidence to take down one club, and that only happened because it was a high profile case, involving celebrities, and one of the the reporters was a entertainment journalist. Gangnam alone is a big place, known for the wealth that surrounds it, with a huge night scene. This guy would more like end up dead or outcasted if he started outing places with little to no support, as in a system that will try to take these places down. Basically put, until the leaders with power change, this is going to keep happening.
which culture? south korea is one of the safest country and let me tell you. things that are trivial in uk or europe is considered harassment, sexism and crime in south korea. i lived in germany and newspaper like the Bild zeitung regularly exposed female breasts in page 3 for the male readers. in south korea these kind of things would be crime.

Yea exactly. My thoughts after reading and watching all these is that the molka overshadowed the other crime - rape - which is far worse than being unknowingly filmed. . Basically. To put it simply, the guys were convicted bcos they were rapists. And also, seungri's club indulged in drugging girls and forcefully bringing those girls to their VIP clients to be sexually assaulted/raped...in exchange for monetary benefits..that itself is a huge crime already too .. but I feel that these were not the focus during the sentencing..like U hear of seungri being convicted for procuring prostitutes .. but what about abetting and assisting in sexual assaults...and ..18 months for a sentencing?!

It’s not a kpop thing. It’s a Korean men thing. In America I’ve seen Korean clubs with “ back rooms “ where I’ve heard of shady things happening there. They said it’s a Korean thing everywhere
Unfortunately, there are a lot of these things in K-pop. It's just very well covered. The Kpop industry is no different from Hollywood, make no mistake. Thr glorification of a "pure idol image" is not a coincidence. Many fans would never guess that some of their favs have done or been involved in some heinous things. You cannot make a mere human being a god, they cannot handle power.
as a kpop fan, a lot of them would do anything to protect their favorite. forgetting that this is an actual human with actual human problems. if this were the newer bigger groups these days (the idols here are big too, but only to the older fans from decades ago. not younger newer ones) it'd be much, much worse. some prolly saying all the women deserved it/"i wished he'd do it to me, not her. im so jealous"
In Korea, there were forces that tried to put a lid on the incident until now. The BBC did a great job. Also, watch out for Korean clubs. They used to target foreign women.
Yes my korean friend also confirmed this, she says local clubs are awful as it is normal to get sexually assaulted openly there (men grope women openly) and she says only go to places popular with foreigners.
These fans disgusts me how they are so blind to such inhuman treatment towards another women and they have the audacity to actually drag the woman who is trying to bring justice.
thats because none of these fairy tales here are remotely accurate they got paid by certain sponsors to tell this story that these people themselves still were never even confronted with, so that these sponsors can get away with their exposed crimes and thanks to you haters thats what they did.
@@qoisongirI only thing he did was gambling once and he got punished so now hes clean if you hater likes it or not, korean celebrities could make a comeback with actually worse crimes after they got punished so nothing stands in his way if he ever wanted to comeback especially since all of asia and every mature kpop fan still support him.
The very fact that the cop who helped them is STILL working as a police officer is baffling.. and he was acquitted of all the crimes... Make it make sense.. so sickening.

Is it so lenient because your population is low? Anecdotally, countries with higher population don't have a problem giving harsher sentences, simply because human life is not as 'precious'. Whereas I'd assume with a lower population the attitudes would be, that we can't lock half our population up, for example?
@@orangenerator I appreciate your opinion. But this issue is, in a high chance, not because Korea’s low population and birth rate. Rather it involves the procedure how Korea became a developed country. Back then Korean government committed severe human rights violations(representing event was 1987 June Democratic Struggle when students protested against tyranny of Chun Doohwan). As Korea become democratic, because of such horrific experience of violation, legitimation had to be strict on human rights and the basic laws became fixed until today. The population was high until 1990s so it didn’t really influence the legitimation of basic foundation of law.
@@조서연-t7p what do you mean by legitimation had to be strict on human rights? Do you mean that as a reaction to choo do hwans police violence, the law errs on the side of lesser punishment to uphold 'human-rights'?

The point of this isn’t “K-POP”. It’s a whole issue involving sexual assault and human trafficking. It just happened to have a few K-pop singers a part of it. But involves political figures, businessman and the police. Mass issue revolving around those who have money, power and or fame.

I’m glad the BBC is reporting this and the world knows. Time for South Korea to feel the shame of this and fix this societal problem. The men in Korea have a real problem with respecting women and the culture needs to change.
I am so happy this reported dared to expose it all !!! So crazy that men have such power in Korea, even police involved.. but sentence time is ridiculous…
I am a South Korean woman. I am so grateful to the BBC for reporting in detail on incidents of gang rape, mass violence (torture, including the extraction of women's teeth), illegal filming and police cover-ups committed by Korean men in South Korea over the years. Before the BBC report, Korean women who had been sexually assaulted were afraid to report it because Korean men threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped. Despite the threats, brave victim Goo Hara tried to expose the crime, but was eventually murdered by a Korean man. A Korean man was captured on CCTV breaking into Goo Hara's house just before her death, but the Korean men concluded her death was a suicide. Even after the BBC report, police have not yet investigated the culprit. Another sexual assault victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but Korean men accused her of making false accusations even though they knew she had been brutally sexually assaulted. On the other hand, the Korean man who committed the crime and the Korean male police officer who covered up the incident were either found not guilty or sentenced to only six months to 5 year in prison. Most foreigners seem to think that Korean male idols receive low punishment because they have a lot of assets. That's not true In Miryang, South Korea, dozens of Korean male high school students gang-raped a female high school student and distributed the video, but all were found not guilty.

Gosh this is so shocking and disgusting. The dark side.of kpop and kdrama. The journalist is really brave to bring out the truth. She must have faced a lot of obstacles.

As a Korean, Korea has problems with its social structure. Even the atmosphere across society is cynical and resigned. The high suicide rate and low birth rate issues, and these incidents are not surprising.
Well highlighted. The two east Asia countries noted as being the countries with western values are facing the same societal issues. Alcoholism, over-work, mental-health and DV. I believe something needs to happen to the family unit. As society is built on its families.
Korean media always try to show the bright side of country . That means , is korea has freedom or not . Say no to all show off and try to leave in reality atleast you can rise your voice against these scandals
@@dnookh5143 it’s difficult to really tell how big or small it is in south korea because feminists face extreme harrassing and doxxing when talking about their views.
Even though I've already known this issue for many years, I still feel shocked and terrified by watching this report. It's soooooooo disgusting. And I hope there is no one experiencing this pain again in society. 😢😢😢

No wonder a K-drama series called 'Taxi Driver' plotted an episode that's literally identical to this issue, so people could see that this is a massive subject in Korea.
I am so grateful to the BBC for reporting in detail on the incidents of gang rape, gang violence (torture, including pulling out women's teeth), illegal filming, and police cover-up committed by Korean men in South Korea for several years. Before the BBC reported, Korean women who have been sexually assaulted are afraid to report it because Korean men have threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped. When Goo Hara, a courageous female victim despite threats, tried to expose the crime, the illegal filming victim was murdered. However, even though a Korean man was caught on CCTV breaking into Goo Hara's house just before her death, Korean police ruled her death a suicide. The Korean women only found out about this after the BBC reported it, but police have not yet investigated the culprit. Another rape victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but instead she was charged with false accusation. As you can see from the video, the male police officer knew that the women had been brutally raped. If the BBC had not covered sexual violence in Korea, the Korean media would have forever ignored this terrible incident. To this day, the Korean men who committed the crime and the male police officers who covered up the incident are innocent, but thanks to the BBC, Korean women are demanding that the Korean men be punished. Additionally, thanks to the BBC's report, the 'Milyang' gang rape incident that occurred in South Korea also received attention. The ‘Milyang Incident’ is an incident in which dozens of Korean men gang-raped a Korean woman. Afterwards, Korean male rapists filmed a video of the woman being raped and distributed it. But Korean men were all found not guilty. Afterwards, the victim's father abused her and extorted money from her because his daughter had been sexually assaulted. Including myself, could not trust the Korean media, which only reported articles favorable to Korean men. It is natural for Korean men who secretly drug women and commit group sexual assault to be acquitted, and it is not even reported on the news. In Korea, incels are rampant in everyday life, including politics, business, news, law and society.
@@onuspromis7166 I checked the video again and saw many of the recent comments were still accusing the victims that they must have been aware of what they'd go through in clubs. 5 years from the scandal and nothing has been changed.
@@moaismeit's such a shame for koreans, they have the highest literacy and then these type of news come in, I think these things must happen every day there, it's just they are non reported because of their ✌🏻connections✌🏻with higher people. Such a shame for the fans of these grp
@@onuspromis7166Sadly, it hasn’t gotten any better but worse. Backlash against feminist movements is becoming one of the biggest social problems in Korea. Not only people would accuse women for ‘not being careful enough,’ or acting in a way that would lure men to commit sex crimes, young Korean men have extremely deprived understandings in feminism and are continuously demonising the movement. This sociocultural atmosphere is already educating the youth to think that speaking about feminism is ‘dangerous,’ shushing the mouth of victims, human rights activists, and simply people who believe in equal rights. I have a whole lot to say about this so lmk if you hope to know more
South Korea needs a change in its setup, men can do no wrong and women are easily 2nd class citizens, when the police turn a blind eye then the offenders are empowered. Rape is almost legal in the UK now with 98% of cases resulting in no criminal charges. We all need to keep the world safe for women, power corrupts.
Then they are not considered as people.... they are devils...wtf... after happening so many disgusting things they are still defending them...🤢Chhi...😡☠️
-A 20-year-old man who completed his military service in Korea returned from military service 10 days ago. - .2024.6. 27. (화성 동탄 화장실 사건)In Dongtan, Hwaseong, a Korean woman in her 30s reported to the police that a man touched her breasts and genitals, and the woman kicked the man's genitals and ran away. - Currently, there is only the woman's claim and the man's counterargument, with no substantive evidence. - The man was threatened by the police to stay quiet, and the man who had just been discharged from the military is scheduled to be imprisoned under the principle of presumption of guilt without any evidence. In this way, the Hwaseong Tongtan Police Station in Korea has achieved the highest rate of arrest of sex offenders. This is Korean law. Korean women in their 20s and 30s have made a lot of money through false accusations, and this is the popular culture of Koreans in their 20s and 30s. In a Korean women-only community, many know-hows are being shared on how to report men for false accusations and receive settlement money.Don't ask laws online community. Ask lawyers about Korea law. More than 80% of Korean women who go to nightclubs like burning sun do so with the intention of having a one-night stand. Just ask them directly. These so-called victims have one-night stands and receive millions of dollars. In our country, sex workers receive tens of thousands of dollars in free government support. Discrimination is due to ignorance, so educate yourself. BBC girls get 1000,000$ from bigbang. Actor Lee Sun-kyun was falsely accused of sexual assault by self-proclaimed radical feminists from the Daum Kakao Cafe (Yeoseongsidae), which has 840,000 members. After succumbing to their threats and extortion, paying them hundreds of thousands of dollars, he tragically committed suicide. Evidence of blackmail and false accusations was presented to the police, leading to the arrest and subsequent confession of the perpetrators. They were sentenced to one year in prison. This story is currently being covered by Korean media outlets. Many K-pop fans, predominantly women including radical feminists, also contributed to the tragic deaths of Shirley and Goo Hara with their hurtful comments. Shirley was targeted for her appeal to male audiences, leading to relentless online harassment and her untimely death. Goo Hara's suicide was likely influenced by this negativity and the Werther effect. These individuals frequently gather on Daum's official community, Yeo Seong Si Dae, which is known for its 840,000 extremist members. Within this closed community, Shirley was unjustly demonized and became the target of a relentless witch hunt. Under the Women's Protection Act in Korea, men often bear the burden of proving their innocence in sexual assault cases, leading to convictions based solely on accusations. A notable example is the case involving Yeongsu Oh, an actor from the "Squid Game" series, where the only evidence was the accuser’s diary. This legal bias was also evident in Lee Sun-kyun’s case, where false accusations led to devastating consequences. Statistics suggest that over 80% of Korean women go to nightclubs with the intention of having a one-night stand. However, the court often renders guilty verdicts based on the presumption of guilt in sexual assault cases while being more lenient in cases of prostitution and drug crimes. Despite Korea's minimum sentence of 10 years for rape, some argue that the penalties are still too lenient. Korea refers to rape as "robbery rape" and follows the principle of presumption of guilt. The 840,000 members of Kakao's women-only Daum official cafe, Yeoseongsidae, who have been implicated in criminal activities for sharing videos containing personal information of minors, have surprisingly received little attention. Insights from Reddit posts have brought to light the site's reputation for unlawfully distributing facial and nude photos, as well as personal details like addresses and names. This underscores the crucial need for direct permission from the operator to join. Notably,The exposure of this information didn't stem from formal reports but rather surfaced through disclosures on Reddit, where a former USFK member revealed the situation. The Kakao official cafe gained public attention for the first time due to its association with the former President Moon Jae-in's Democratic Party, which had close ties to the police chief who overlooked the Burning Sun scandal. Consequently, Korean media outlets like '뉴데일리' refrained from reporting on it, showing deference to the party's influence. However, it wasn't until the recent revelation of the site's criminal activities by the US military personnel that it was first brought to light. If you look at the on the site and you can show what information is being shared, they secretly filmed a minor wearing a school uniform and commented on it, saying, "he has a pretty genitals," "The face and nude photos are cute who is 17 so perfect as a sexual plaything." This crime is pubilcized for the first time in medias and newspapers because United States Forces were also recently targeted. ## Overview of the Training Recruit Torture and Murder Incident A significant point of focus in this incident is South Korea's policy of promoting civilian women to officers in the military through a quota system. This female officer, who had never seen sunlight and had extremely fair skin, imposed additional heavy burdens on the recruit and failed to take appropriate medical measures even as his health deteriorated severely. This incident tragically involves the death of a recruit due to torture during military training. ### Incident Process 1. **Recruit A Enlistment**: - Recruit A enlisted in the military. - Recruit A had been in the military for only 9 days. 2. **Excessive Burden and Torture**: - Despite already carrying a heavy military pack weighing approximately 40kg, Officer B forced Recruit A to carry an even heavier load. - As a result, Recruit A's health deteriorated significantly, and despite requests for help from fellow recruits, Officer B ignored them. 3. **Tragic Outcome**: - Due to the excessive burden and torture, Recruit A eventually died. - Subsequently, Officer B attempted to cover up the incident, but it was exposed due to efforts from medical institutions and military officials. ### Controversial Elements 1. **Gender Disparity in Punishment**: - Many people criticize the fact that Officer B, as the perpetrator, received not even an arrest or investigation but instead a month-long vacation supposedly for mental stability, solely because she is a woman. However, South Korean women in their 20s and 30s tend to distort this as a "Chosun Dynasty exile measure" and implicitly support the perpetrator due to her gender. - Politicians are wary of the response from young female voters and have thus faced criticism for not handling the incident appropriately. Given the significant political influence of women in South Korean society, it is important for women to bravely report such incidents to the media. However, currently, very few Korean women have come forward with this incident to the press. Seoul National University's Happiness Research Center and Kakao Geachi jointly conducted and published the "ABOUT H: South Korea Happiness Report 2019" (21st Century Books) on the 9th. Professor Choi In-cheol and the research team from Seoul National University's Happiness Research Center also held a press conference at Gwanghwamun Vertex Korea on the same day. The survey targeted 1.05 million people over the past year, accumulating a total of 2.27 million records due to the possibility of duplicate responses. The research team and publishers claimed it to be the world's first and largest "national happiness research project." According to the survey findings, women in their 20s and 30s exhibited the highest levels of materialism, the lowest gratitude index (degree of felt gratitude), and the highest prevalence of neurosis (emotional anxiety). They also showed a high tendency to compare themselves with others. Professor Choi stated, "The answer to gender differences lies in neurosis. Women in their 20s and 30s showed the highest tendency towards neurosis," adding, "Women in their 20s and 30s also had the lowest levels of gratitude. Therefore, they exhibit a heightened sense of victimization, mistrust towards others, and a significantly increased likelihood of explosive and aggressive behavior even with minor stressors.,,272

Shockingly low sentences. We call for a proper investigation. I appreciate the BBC covering this topic, which has been completely ignored by the Korean media.
Dont listen or watch those you tubers or the international so called couples!! Just because most bad news, especially involving crimes against women, are not on tv news or social, doesnt mean its safe!! Being treated like a second class citizens in every daily life aspect is the law in korea! At work, on street, by law, by family, women are just objects!
In South America the civilians would kill them on the street. In America, they "kill themselves" in prison...unless you're a politician. The entertainment industry all around the world is like this. This is not a South Korean issue on its own. If you can make a company millions, you can get away with crimes of all categories.

@@bca5729 Wow...that is incredibly shocking... I am sorry, I didn't know society there in Korea was structured in a way males could get away with such despicable crimes. I myself nearly came to South Korea for university but instead went to South Africa but whilst I was discussing with friend yesterday the pros and cons of moving to South Korea, besides language barrier, we remembered this burning sun incident and "Silenced" movie. It may seem like you are alone in South Korea bravely fighting with the feeling of no-one listening but I can assure you, your voices are being heard and the world is behind you. I'm all the way from Zimbabwe, my friends from South Africa and Burundi are on the side of those brave women who chose to speak out. We, even as males, will support your cause and maybe one day when I get a decent job, I will donate money to some of your local charities that aim at fixing the problem and helping girls and women. God bless and know we are with you and your country 🙏 🇿🇼 ❤🇰🇷
@@turnleft8645 Thank you for your interest in crimes against women in South Korea. In S.Korea, 95.45% of criminals are men. On the other hand, 85.81% of victims are women. In other words, among OECD countries, S.K is a country where men commit crimes against women with an overwhelmingly high rate. This is because male chauvinism and misogyny are rampant in SK, and SK laws and media are lenient toward SK men. In SK, it is not surprising that a SK man was found not guilty on charges of gang rape, assault, and illegal filming of women.
I applaud this journalist and her courage, which has probably saved many other women who could have been victims of these horrific attacks. I pray the victims get peace and justice.

The online trolls in S. Korean are really twisted and sick. They like to troll the victims, like how they trolled the families who lost loved ones in the Seoul Halloween crowd crush.
Many Korean men praise the perpetrators and insult the victims for this incident. They also say that these events are experienced by all Korean men, and that Korean men have the right to watch sexual video.
It reminds me of dystopian societies depicted in fiction mostly in Asian societies like Japan, Hong Kong and of course South Korea. You have to wonder if such fictional works were inspired by realities of the vast underworld existing in the cities or were they influenced by the fictional depictions of such dystopias in their world and acting as if it's how their society should and could be. I' love South Korea and felt it's one of the safest cities in the world, but as always there's something underneath a beautiful facade and in this case it's even worse when not only the authorities are polishing the surface but the societal norm is to continue patching the cracking facade from behind.
@@user-jy3ux5iy5f Just going to a place doesn't indicate they were involved in or knew about anything illegal.....

If someone with connections invited me to enjoy a holiday on a private island I might go too, wouldn't you ? And how are the BBC hiding it ? if you google "BBC News Epstein island" there are plenty of articles about it. There are loads even from this year.... Here are some titles of the top results I got from BBC news : "Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton named in court files" "Prince Andrew 'spent weeks' at Epstein home - witness" "US judge orders names of more than 170 Jeffrey Epstein associates to be released" There is even an article titled "Jeffrey Epstein list: Who is named in court filings?" Where they reel off some of the names....
That sounds familiar is like hear stories of pop and rock bands, especially westerners bands, but this never go reported by news channels or they were complicit.
Even up to this moment, his cheap fans are still defending the perpetrator, reporting comments condemning the perpetrator and finally being deleted from UA-cam, really disgusting!
Like really their justice system is fu..like they give them bare minimum punishment...they should be in jail like for 10years...each one of them... Nd yeah karma never forgives no matter how much a big person you are...
Thats a little silly, cause its probably not most korean man, who are absolute psychos and this is like fear based people who say "Oh my parents got divorced, so I will never marry either!", acting like they cant choose their spouses and make better choices. Always assuming life is the same for everyone. The reasons people dont have kids in SK are numerous. Not enough living space, high costs, high rates of stress and depression, fear, unhinged school demands etc..

اتمنى وجود نسخة من هذا الموضوع مترجمة الى اللغة العربية. Please make Arabic translation available for this documentary. It scares me to see people following these K-pop artists blindly. Specifically these criminals who are roaming freely!
I hv been glued to Netflix watching Korean serials and i was so influenced by the mannerisms shown there especially by the men, the respect towards women and elders. It was so mesmerizing that i hv been watching like 8 hours of Korean content on most days. But this report speaks the opposite of my perspective, sad actually. People in general who gain power by fame should learn to be humble and not exploiters
K-pop has always been plagued with various issues, such as the objectification of women, sexual innuendos, and cultural appropriation. However, these problems have consistently been ignored within the vast fanbase. I have never been able to understand this.
It's only ever 'Objectification' of women when it's something other than Onlyfans. When it's Onlyfans, the sleazyness is openly regarded as somehow "empowering". Can't have it both ways.
@skycloud4802 at least women have control over their "objectification" there? thats why its considered empowering. bc most of history, objectification of woman was without their consent
This is because South Korea is a man-worshiping country. Even fangirls are colored by the male worship of Korean society. Therefore, they value the feelings of the male idols they worship more than the lives of women who are victims of crime.
This is the real version of the club Black Sun in the kdrama Taxi Driver season 2. Even down to the K-pop character called Victor - Seungri means victory in korean.
Nothing has changed. Thats the saddest part. I wonder what those fans of the convicted artists are doing now after they attacked the people who exposed their criminal idols.

2 years for gang rape??? In Australia they'd be gone for decades. That's the problem. The laws are't strict enough. It's a patriarchal problem. Disgusting.
No one protected them because they were men, they were protected because they were rich and famous. If they were women, they would still be protected.
Australia’s legal system is a bit better, but not by much. It’s a case close to me, but there was a p*do charged with 6 counts of SAing girls under the age of 10, and he got 100 hours community service. That’s it. It’s ridiculous. There’s no justice, not properly.
Yeah that’s why these Korean men say they love the laws in Korean, because the laws don’t really give a damn
because the MEN in power and/or with status are also criminals and corrupt hence they wont do anything to strengthen laws and protect women, because for what when it benefits a society that is made for men by men?
only 5 years for gang rape ? The Laws in South Korea aren't strict enough. I agree it's a patriarchal problem. DISGUSTING !!!!!!!!!!

Very brave these people who are speaking up. The reality and truth really isnt that pretty behind the doors of entertainment industry the fact is
No one is talking. 840,000 people are making minors targets of sexual crimes by sharing videos containing personal information in women's cafes. Kakao's official women-only cafe called (Yeo-seong-si-dae) is illegally sharing personal information and face&body information of minors. It is notorious for sharing face and nude photos. If you look at the data on what information is being shared, they secretly filmed a minor wearing a school uniform and commented on it, saying, "he has a pretty genitals," and "The face and nude photos are cute. If the boy is 17, he's perfect as a sexual plaything." It's Daum Kakao official cafe became public for the first time because foreign were also recently targeted.
Girls romanticized Korean guys because of K-Drama thinking that all of them are gentlemen, polite, innocent, loyal, etc, etc but in reality, it is the opposite. That's why it's called "drama" because it is fictional, not reality.
we know the truth now. I can't even look normally at unaccused idols because I don't know what they are like behind closed doors
@@Saara-ci7bx Same, every time I look at a male idols I feel that they are deceiving me. It's scary.
Even here in the Philippines people go crazy over a race who thinks they are above any Asians and are having fun mocking us. I wish they're forever banned 🚫
Actually, Korean dramas also tell a lot about the society. People constantly commenting on someone's weight or looks, feeling obliged to drink until late with their coworkers or bosses, putting pressure on working mothers, openly slapping younger siblings or children etc. Even in romanticized versions of reality some things really stand out for people from other countries and societies
Wow- well put!
It’s not about K-Pop alone. It’s about Korean culture. It’s the Korean men’s mentality. It’s their culture which they should address and correct.
Nothing wrong with our culture. That's just your irrelevant opinion. You're just jealous because nobody wants you.
👏👊
Correct
It's not about Korean culture or Korean men's mentality alone, it's about men's mentality in general. This kind of thing happens everywhere. One common denominator...

As a Korean woman, i hope every people know the present of Korean women right. Thank you BBC. In Korea, whenever women stand on women's side, they are considered as terrorist(surprisingly, some men think feminist as terrorist). Raising voice for women is definitely not easy in Korea. It needs so much courage in Korea. I just want safe place for every women. Korea is not that place for sure.
Is this why women rights activist are advocating the 4Bs (do nots)... do not date, do not marry, do not have children and do not have sex? It makes sense now but your country birth rate is already so low....
Women need to wake up and stop listening and defending men , my life is horrible because i keep giving them chances

Contrary to what they say, if we knew how Korean society exploits Korean men, we would not be able to unilaterally dishonor Korean men like this. The situation of the average Korean man is different from Burning Sun. Korean women also know that the average Korean man is exploited and lives a life that has nothing to do with Burning Sun. Even though they know this, Korean women continue to criticize men like this. Stop lying about Korea, Korean women.
Sentences are shockingly low.

i used to really like kpop from 2009 - 2013/4, just grew old but still dapping every now and then. it wasn't a surprised for me when i heard about this scandal and their prison terms. even cases of murder or pedophile, the perpetrator got no more than 10 yrs - like for a nobody person. i feel like the reason the sentence is so low is because of the politicians in their national assembly, they probably did it too so they also don't want a harsh sentence so that's probably why they wrote the law that way.
I'm a high school girl in Korea.
First of all, I'm truly,sincerely grateful that bbc brought this up because If I raise questions about these kinds of issues at school, I'm branded a thumping piggy feminist, an "emotional disorder."
I shed tears of unknown reason when I saw comments from foreigners who said they would listen to this and stand in solidarity. Thank you very much.
When this incident broke out, Korea was quiet. When Room N broke out (a case in which 260,000 Korean men watched a video clip in which a caterpillar was placed on a video device sexually assaulting elementary, middle, and high school and adult women my age), Korean men exaggerated the incident, saying that the actual sexual assault rate would be reduced only when the victims watched such videos as "enjoyed" because they wanted to. The mastermind of this nightmare was sentenced to 40 years in prison, and the person who disclosed their personal information about the criminals in anger was sentenced to two years in prison.
Three years later, just yesterday, a group of male students from Seoul National University, the nation's most prestigious university, posted illegal compounds of 60 women from their alumni and enjoyed watching them in more than 200 chat rooms. Another man from a prestigious medical school killed his girlfriend, who told him to break up at the same school.
Even though women are being sexually assaulted and killed every day in this land, the media keeps silent about the demonstration of a female nursery teacher who has no motherhood, and Korean men treat me as if it is the only big deal. It is a sense of victimization. Women also enjoy watching children's play, but they cover up the case, saying, "Isn't it the female version of Room N?" I cannot comment on these issues at school. That is why I desperately need your attention and solidarity. please Don't believe what they say in K-drama. I hope women take care of yourself and stay safe.
What is that female version of n room??
Stay safe out there! If you and your homegirls ever decide to go party, please remain constantly alert and don’t let anyone tamper with your drinks or make you drink a lot! Here in America this happened before but recently ladies are taking action against date rape and stuff. Stay safe ❤
What the hell. It’s crazy that k-drama is a lie 😭 I feel bad for korean women. I could never live in a society so terrible where the men are misogynistic overly conservative pigs. Here in the U.S its bad, but holy shit South Korea is a SCARY place for woman!!

South Korean women are expressing their gratitude to BBC for recently covering the Burning Sun crime committed by Korean men against Korean women.
I am very grateful to the BBC for reporting in detail on the incidents of gang rape, gang violence (torture, including pulling out women's teeth), illegal filming, and police cover-up committed by Korean men at Burning Sun in Korea for several years.
Before the BBC reported, Korean women who have been sexually assaulted are afraid to report it because Korean men have threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped.
When Goo Hara, a courageous female victim despite threats, tried to expose the crime, the illegal filming victim was murdered.
Another rape victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but instead she was charged with false accusation.
As you can see from the video, the male police officer knew that the women had been brutally raped.
If the BBC had not covered sexual violence in Korea, the Korean media would have forever ignored this terrible incident.
To this day, the Korean men who committed the crime and the male police officers who covered up the incident are innocent, but thanks to the BBC, Korean women are demanding that the Korean men be punished.
Additionally, thanks to the BBC's report, the 'Milyang' gang rape incident that occurred in Korea also received attention. The ‘Milyang Incident’ is an incident in which dozens of Korean men gang-raped a Korean woman. The men were all found not guilty because they were high school students.
Afterwards, the victim's father abused her and extorted money from her because his daughter had been sexually assaulted.
Including myself, could not trust the Korean media, which only reported articles favorable to Korean men.
It is natural for Korean men who secretly drug women and commit group sexual assault to be acquitted, and it is not even reported on the news.
In Korea, incels are rampant in everyday life, including politics, business, news, law and society.
A few days ago, a Korean woman was assaulted by her Korean boyfriend and reported it to the police for several days. However, the police did not intervene because the woman defended herself against the man's attack, and the woman ended up being beaten to death by her boyfriend.
Another Korean woman, Tzuyang, was abused and threatened by her Korean boyfriend for several years, and he extorted 4 billion won from her, but it was only revealed a few days ago. However, many Korean male UA-camrs mocked her.
Statistically, Korea is the country with the highest rate of women being murdered by men in the world.
Every day, Korean men commit serious crimes against Korean women, including murder, illegal filming, stalking, and assault.
Wonderful foreign men and women, I would be very grateful if you could help raise the human rights of Korean women.
some Korean male bully or take advantage on korean female without notice themself. I experienced myself when I study in New Zealand. One of my male friend borrow my video cam to film their porn and asking me to join. I gave my cam to my friend and refused to join them. Next day my korean male friend come in the class room and open my cam show of his porn while his girl friend stand behind him and smile to all classmates in the class. I was not ok about it, not respect, not care at all. after that day I did not talk to male friend at all . I took the videotap secretly give it back to the female who was took a video.
My middle finger stand for those fans who will defend this guys. 🖕

I am so grateful to the BBC for reporting in detail on incidents of gang rape, mass violence (torture, including the extraction of women's teeth), illegal filming and police cover-ups committed by Korean men in South Korea over the years.
Before the BBC report, Korean women who had been sexually assaulted were afraid to report it because Korean men threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped.
Despite the threats, brave victim Goo Hara tried to expose the crime, but was eventually murdered by a Korean man.
A Korean man was captured on CCTV breaking into Goo Hara's house just before her death, but the Korean men concluded her death was a suicide.
Even after the BBC report, police have not yet investigated the culprit.
Another sexual assault victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but Korean men accused her of making false accusations even though they knew she had been brutally sexually assaulted.
On the other hand, the Korean man who committed the crime and the Korean male police officer who covered up the incident were either found not guilty or sentenced to only six months to 5 year in prison.
Most foreigners seem to think that Korean male idols receive low punishment because they have a lot of assets.
That's not true
In Miryang, South Korea, dozens of Korean male high school students gang-raped a female high school student and distributed the video, but all were found not guilty.
Most of the parents of those high school students were ordinary or poor people.
The fact that people are still supporting seungri , is so disgusting 🤢🤢🤮
Exactly!
These guys are so mediocre as singers and dancers, I don’t even understand why they could be idolized to start with.
Exactly Seungri is a horrible person
Fuckin stans.
wtf are you on about? "What victims" seriously??
I cannot wrap my head around the fact that they were sentenced to a few months of jail for rape, sex trafficking, illegally drugging and filming women without their consent... I already knew there are huge societal issues in South Korea, especially regarding women's rights and how male offenders are never punished, but I think that of this documentary, I find the lack of judicial action and protection even more disgusting and distressing than what these women have had to suffer and will have to keep enduring without a reform of the law.
It's Korea, a primitive dump.
Yeah and people wonder why Korean women are not as interested in dating or having children. The concept of legal protection just doesn't exist for many of these young women
At least I hope that what used to be fans that loved them, instead will despise them, and use this opportunity to wise up and perhaps look for someone that is kind and loving, instead of someone that have looks, but are ugly on the inside. A good example of how not to judge books by their covers.

How can their fans argue that they are innocent people?
It's tough to say but they are just blind people, they are the people who don't know anything and only knows the good side of em, it's like when you meet a new person you don't know their back story and what's in their mind and if they are actually good or not at first, it's the same with the fans too, they just started stanning them for their looks and voices they be delusional imagining that they will marry their idols, and for that they always try their best to protect the idols at any cost, but little do they know they are protecting monsters, it's just their mind examining that all the Koreans are like kdrama characters but they should need to be grow up but yeah the fans one, it's just their thinking that they are innocent of some videos
they're blinded by the handsome faces and the fake imagery on camera. at the end of the day, for everyone and everybody, we're humans. no matter how "perfect" we are
majority of koreans know they are innocent, they already called out this shady company for trying to protect their sponsors who were involved in another by far more disgusting case than what these people here were accused of.
seungri jjy and the club are 3 completely unrelated cases and everyone who followed this knows that seungri already proved that he was never the owner nor does it belong to any other celebrity and jjy was never mentioned regarding that club and the 3 former idols were just jjys friends and also never accused of being involved in his case.
Damn there’s no justice in Skorea. Seungri only being sentenced to 1.5 years is a joke after the amount of trauma and damage he has done! And they say SKorea is safe.. for who?!
thats because the only thing he did was gambling once he literally disproved everything else and was never even accused of the things this shady channel made up here that they cant even back up dont be a hater and cherrypick the sources to fit your hate rants.
@@pruitv4 shut up, you're indian you watch CP haha
The female reporters are so brave. S.Korea call feminist to any woman who claims equality or rights. They fought against all that and the power of the agencies and the corruption in the police to give a bit of justice to the victims. But as the victim said, they don't even expect justice,they know their society. The punishment was a joke to try to lower the noise of the crimes.

i agree but its nto crazy to feel helpless. you know how many women report stalking and the police are like im sorry nothing we can do until he does something illegal
@@duckiechen1321 Unfortunately stalking laws have only recently been put into stronger law in South Korea, after a woman was murdered in a subway bathroom by her stalker and he was captured on CCTV. It still did not go far enough to protect women overall.
Even Korean singers and actors, who have to deal with incredibly invasive stalker fans, didn't have legal recourse to deal with them until the last couple of years. Most of their companies seem to settle out of court if they receive an apology from the perpetrator and promise to work better on themselves.
Please broadcast about Andrew Albert Christian Edward case. IT WAS SAME CASE
That's the thing, he needs hard evidence, and even with that, the police and justice system are a joke. It took reporters, lawyers, celebrities, and years worth of evidence to take down one club, and that only happened because it was a high profile case, involving celebrities, and one of the the reporters was a entertainment journalist.
Gangnam alone is a big place, known for the wealth that surrounds it, with a huge night scene. This guy would more like end up dead or outcasted if he started outing places with little to no support, as in a system that will try to take these places down.

Lol rape isnt considered a big crime in Korea ??? Ridiculius punishment. Like they didnt even really want to punish them.
Yea exactly. My thoughts after reading and watching all these is that the molka overshadowed the other crime - rape - which is far worse than being unknowingly filmed. . Basically. To put it simply, the guys were convicted bcos they were rapists. And also, seungri's club indulged in drugging girls and forcefully bringing those girls to their VIP clients to be sexually assaulted/raped...in exchange for monetary benefits..that itself is a huge crime already too .. but I feel that these were not the focus during the sentencing..like U hear of seungri being convicted for procuring prostitutes .. but what about abetting and assisting in sexual assaults...and ..18 months for a sentencing?!

It’s not a kpop thing. It’s a Korean men thing. In America I’ve seen Korean clubs with “ back rooms “ where I’ve heard of shady things happening there. They said it’s a Korean thing everywhere
Unfortunately, there are a lot of these things in K-pop. It's just very well covered. The Kpop industry is no different from Hollywood, make no mistake. Thr glorification of a "pure idol image" is not a coincidence. Many fans would never guess that some of their favs have done or been involved in some heinous things. You cannot make a mere human being a god, they cannot handle power.
Yeah, its a korean thing spread by Kpop
Korean even gambling a lot
It's YG
Imagine generalizing, if I were to say It's am American thing because of what Epstein did, is that valid?
The fact that fans tried to bully the reporter is disgusting. I knew K-pop fans were toxic, but eww, this is beyond gross.
as a kpop fan, a lot of them would do anything to protect their favorite. forgetting that this is an actual human with actual human problems. if this were the newer bigger groups these days (the idols here are big too, but only to the older fans from decades ago. not younger newer ones) it'd be much, much worse. some prolly saying all the women deserved it/"i wished he'd do it to me, not her. im so jealous"
In Korea, there were forces that tried to put a lid on the incident until now. The BBC did a great job. Also, watch out for Korean clubs. They used to target foreign women.
I agree
Just avoid clubs
You think clubs is the only place😂, just be safe out there
Yes my korean friend also confirmed this, she says local clubs are awful as it is normal to get sexually assaulted openly there (men grope women openly) and she says only go to places popular with foreigners.
I don't understand why people still go clubbing, especially women. The risks are incredibly high.
These fans disgusts me how they are so blind to such inhuman treatment towards another women and they have the audacity to actually drag the woman who is trying to bring justice.
they only see perfect handsome oppas. not real humans
No worries..Don't come and munch curry....
We don't want you...hairy curry..
thats because none of these fairy tales here are remotely accurate they got paid by certain sponsors to tell this story that these people themselves still were never even confronted with, so that these sponsors can get away with their exposed crimes and thanks to you haters thats what they did.

As a Korean, Korean judical system is insane. A lot of Koreans are mad about it for a long time😵
Is it so lenient because your population is low? Anecdotally, countries with higher population don't have a problem giving harsher sentences, simply because human life is not as 'precious'. Whereas I'd assume with a lower population the attitudes would be, that we can't lock half our population up, for example?
@@orangenerator I appreciate your opinion. But this issue is, in a high chance, not because Korea’s low population and birth rate.

As Korea become democratic, because of such horrific experience of violation, legitimation had to be strict on human rights and the basic laws became fixed until today. The population was high until 1990s so it didn’t really influence the legitimation of basic foundation of law.

This isn't an expose. This is like a recap. As far as celebrity news goes, this is like history.
I am a South Korean woman.
I am so grateful to the BBC for reporting in detail on incidents of gang rape, mass violence (torture, including the extraction of women's teeth), illegal filming and police cover-ups committed by Korean men in South Korea over the years.
Before the BBC report, Korean women who had been sexually assaulted were afraid to report it because Korean men threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped.
Despite the threats, brave victim Goo Hara tried to expose the crime, but was eventually murdered by a Korean man.
A Korean man was captured on CCTV breaking into Goo Hara's house just before her death, but the Korean men concluded her death was a suicide.
Even after the BBC report, police have not yet investigated the culprit.
Another sexual assault victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but Korean men accused her of making false accusations even though they knew she had been brutally sexually assaulted.
On the other hand, the Korean man who committed the crime and the Korean male police officer who covered up the incident were either found not guilty or sentenced to only six months to 5 year in prison.
Most foreigners seem to think that Korean male idols receive low punishment because they have a lot of assets.
That's not true
In Miryang, South Korea, dozens of Korean male high school students gang-raped a female high school student and distributed the video, but all were found not guilty.
Most of the parents of those high school students were ordinary or poor people.
The point of this isn’t “K-POP”. It’s a whole issue involving sexual assault and human trafficking. It just happened to have a few K-pop singers a part of it. But involves political figures, businessman and the police. Mass issue revolving around those who have money, power and or fame.
So corruption IS their pop culture in Korea, no wonder…
They just want to use the term "kpop" for views.

I'm so frustrated with the South Korea. Instead of making fake beautiful images you'd better solved real problems in the country.
some guy said that the k-drama's they make are probably things they want (minus the clear projection of being pressured to be perfect and the discrimination in the real world). the rich, beautiful, high status life with a bit of romance, sadly that isnt the reality for almost anyone in this universe

they gotta start realizing that they're irl people. that the "nice" things they see on camera are most likely scripted as well. not saying all idols are bad- like i said, they're real humans. they're both or more then the other but most deff not perfect

As a Korean, Korea has problems with its social structure. Even the atmosphere across society is cynical and resigned. The high suicide rate and low birth rate issues, and these incidents are not surprising.
Well highlighted. The two east Asia countries noted as being the countries with western values are facing the same societal issues. Alcoholism, over-work, mental-health and DV. I believe something needs to happen to the family unit. As society is built on its families.

No wonder a K-drama series called 'Taxi Driver' plotted an episode that's literally identical to this issue, so people could see that this is a massive subject in Korea.
I watched it too. It immediately made me think of this scandal.

I am so grateful to the BBC for reporting in detail on the incidents of gang rape, gang violence (torture, including pulling out women's teeth), illegal filming, and police cover-up committed by Korean men in South Korea for several years.
Before the BBC reported, Korean women who have been sexually assaulted are afraid to report it because Korean men have threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped.
When Goo Hara, a courageous female victim despite threats, tried to expose the crime, the illegal filming victim was murdered.
However, even though a Korean man was caught on CCTV breaking into Goo Hara's house just before her death, Korean police ruled her death a suicide.
The Korean women only found out about this after the BBC reported it, but police have not yet investigated the culprit.
Another rape victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but instead she was charged with false accusation.
As you can see from the video, the male police officer knew that the women had been brutally raped.
If the BBC had not covered sexual violence in Korea, the Korean media would have forever ignored this terrible incident.
To this day, the Korean men who committed the crime and the male police officers who covered up the incident are innocent, but thanks to the BBC, Korean women are demanding that the Korean men be punished.
Additionally, thanks to the BBC's report, the 'Milyang' gang rape incident that occurred in South Korea also received attention. The ‘Milyang Incident’ is an incident in which dozens of Korean men gang-raped a Korean woman.
Afterwards, Korean male rapists filmed a video of the woman being raped and distributed it.
But Korean men were all found not guilty.
Afterwards, the victim's father abused her and extorted money from her because his daughter had been sexually assaulted.
Including myself, could not trust the Korean media, which only reported articles favorable to Korean men.
It is natural for Korean men who secretly drug women and commit group sexual assault to be acquitted, and it is not even reported on the news.
In Korea, incels are rampant in everyday life, including politics, business, news, law and society.

@@onuspromis7166Sadly, it hasn’t gotten any better but worse. Backlash against feminist movements is becoming one of the biggest social problems in Korea. Not only people would accuse women for ‘not being careful enough,’ or acting in a way that would lure men to commit sex crimes, young Korean men have extremely deprived understandings in feminism and are continuously demonising the movement. This sociocultural atmosphere is already educating the youth to think that speaking about feminism is ‘dangerous,’ shushing the mouth of victims, human rights activists, and simply people who believe in equal rights. I have a whole lot to say about this so lmk if you hope to know more

-A 20-year-old man who completed his military service in Korea returned from military service 10 days ago.
- .2024.6. 27. (화성 동탄 화장실 사건)In Dongtan, Hwaseong, a Korean woman in her 30s reported to the police that a man touched her breasts and genitals, and the woman kicked the man's genitals and ran away.
- Currently, there is only the woman's claim and the man's counterargument, with no substantive evidence.
- The man was threatened by the police to stay quiet, and the man who had just been discharged from the military is scheduled to be imprisoned under the principle of presumption of guilt without any evidence. In this way, the Hwaseong Tongtan Police Station in Korea has achieved the highest rate of arrest of sex offenders. This is Korean law. Korean women in their 20s and 30s have made a lot of money through false accusations, and this is the popular culture of Koreans in their 20s and 30s. In a Korean women-only community, many know-hows are being shared on how to report men for false accusations and receive settlement money.Don't ask laws online community.
Ask lawyers about Korea law. More than 80% of Korean women who go to nightclubs like burning sun do so with the intention of having a one-night stand. Just ask them directly. These so-called victims have one-night stands and receive millions of dollars. In our country, sex workers receive tens of thousands of dollars in free government support. Discrimination is due to ignorance, so educate yourself. BBC girls get 1000,000$ from bigbang.
Actor Lee Sun-kyun was falsely accused of sexual assault by self-proclaimed radical feminists from the Daum Kakao Cafe (Yeoseongsidae), which has 840,000 members. After succumbing to their threats and extortion, paying them hundreds of thousands of dollars, he tragically committed suicide. Evidence of blackmail and false accusations was presented to the police, leading to the arrest and subsequent confession of the perpetrators. They were sentenced to one year in prison. This story is currently being covered by Korean media outlets.
Many K-pop fans, predominantly women including radical feminists, also contributed to the tragic deaths of Shirley and Goo Hara with their hurtful comments. Shirley was targeted for her appeal to male audiences, leading to relentless online harassment and her untimely death. Goo Hara's suicide was likely influenced by this negativity and the Werther effect. These individuals frequently gather on Daum's official community, Yeo Seong Si Dae, which is known for its 840,000 extremist members. Within this closed community, Shirley was unjustly demonized and became the target of a relentless witch hunt.
Under the Women's Protection Act in Korea, men often bear the burden of proving their innocence in sexual assault cases, leading to convictions based solely on accusations. A notable example is the case involving Yeongsu Oh, an actor from the "Squid Game" series, where the only evidence was the accuser’s diary. This legal bias was also evident in Lee Sun-kyun’s case, where false accusations led to devastating consequences.
Statistics suggest that over 80% of Korean women go to nightclubs with the intention of having a one-night stand. However, the court often renders guilty verdicts based on the presumption of guilt in sexual assault cases while being more lenient in cases of prostitution and drug crimes. Despite Korea's minimum sentence of 10 years for rape, some argue that the penalties are still too lenient. Korea refers to rape as "robbery rape" and follows the principle of presumption of guilt.
The 840,000 members of Kakao's women-only Daum official cafe, Yeoseongsidae, who have been implicated in criminal activities for sharing videos containing personal information of minors, have surprisingly received little attention. Insights from Reddit posts have brought to light the site's reputation for unlawfully distributing facial and nude photos, as well as personal details like addresses and names. This underscores the crucial need for direct permission from the operator to join. Notably,The exposure of this information didn't stem from formal reports but rather surfaced through disclosures on Reddit, where a former USFK member revealed the situation. The Kakao official cafe gained public attention for the first time due to its association with the former President Moon Jae-in's Democratic Party, which had close ties to the police chief who overlooked the Burning Sun scandal. Consequently, Korean media outlets like '뉴데일리' refrained from reporting on it, showing deference to the party's influence. However, it wasn't until the recent revelation of the site's criminal activities by the US military personnel that it was first brought to light. If you look at the on the site and you can show what information is being shared, they secretly filmed a minor wearing a school uniform and commented on it, saying, "he has a pretty genitals," "The face and nude photos are cute who is 17 so perfect as a sexual plaything." This crime is pubilcized for the first time in medias and newspapers because United States Forces were also recently targeted.
## Overview of the Training Recruit Torture and Murder Incident
A significant point of focus in this incident is South Korea's policy of promoting civilian women to officers in the military through a quota system. This female officer, who had never seen sunlight and had extremely fair skin, imposed additional heavy burdens on the recruit and failed to take appropriate medical measures even as his health deteriorated severely. This incident tragically involves the death of a recruit due to torture during military training.
### Incident Process
1. **Recruit A Enlistment**:
- Recruit A enlisted in the military.
- Recruit A had been in the military for only 9 days.
2. **Excessive Burden and Torture**:
- Despite already carrying a heavy military pack weighing approximately 40kg, Officer B forced Recruit A to carry an even heavier load.
- As a result, Recruit A's health deteriorated significantly, and despite requests for help from fellow recruits, Officer B ignored them.
3. **Tragic Outcome**:
- Due to the excessive burden and torture, Recruit A eventually died.
- Subsequently, Officer B attempted to cover up the incident, but it was exposed due to efforts from medical institutions and military officials.
### Controversial Elements
1. **Gender Disparity in Punishment**:
- Many people criticize the fact that Officer B, as the perpetrator, received not even an arrest or investigation but instead a month-long vacation supposedly for mental stability, solely because she is a woman. However, South Korean women in their 20s and 30s tend to distort this as a "Chosun Dynasty exile measure" and implicitly support the perpetrator due to her gender.
- Politicians are wary of the response from young female voters and have thus faced criticism for not handling the incident appropriately. Given the significant political influence of women in South Korean society, it is important for women to bravely report such incidents to the media. However, currently, very few Korean women have come forward with this incident to the press.
Seoul National University's Happiness Research Center and Kakao Geachi jointly conducted and published the "ABOUT H: South Korea Happiness Report 2019" (21st Century Books) on the 9th. Professor Choi In-cheol and the research team from Seoul National University's Happiness Research Center also held a press conference at Gwanghwamun Vertex Korea on the same day.
The survey targeted 1.05 million people over the past year, accumulating a total of 2.27 million records due to the possibility of duplicate responses.
The research team and publishers claimed it to be the world's first and largest "national happiness research project." According to the survey findings, women in their 20s and 30s exhibited the highest levels of materialism, the lowest gratitude index (degree of felt gratitude), and the highest prevalence of neurosis (emotional anxiety). They also showed a high tendency to compare themselves with others.
Professor Choi stated, "The answer to gender differences lies in neurosis. Women in their 20s and 30s showed the highest tendency towards neurosis," adding, "Women in their 20s and 30s also had the lowest levels of gratitude. Therefore, they exhibit a heightened sense of victimization, mistrust towards others, and a significantly increased likelihood of explosive and aggressive behavior even with minor stressors.,,272

Before the BBC report, Korean women who had been sexually assaulted were afraid to report it because Korean men threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped.
Despite the threats, brave victim Goo Hara tried to expose the crime, but was eventually murdered by a Korean man.
A Korean man was captured on CCTV breaking into Goo Hara's house just before her death, but the Korean men concluded her death was a suicide.
Even after the BBC report, police have not yet investigated the culprit.
Another sexual assault victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but Korean men accused her of making false accusations even though they knew she had been brutally sexually assaulted.
On the other hand, the Korean man who committed the crime and the Korean male police officer who covered up the incident were either found not guilty or sentenced to only six months to 5 year in prison.
Most foreigners seem to think that Korean male idols receive low punishment because they have a lot of assets.
That's not true
In Miryang, South Korea, dozens of Korean male high school students gang-raped a female high school student and distributed the video, but all were found not guilty.
Most of the parents of those high school students were ordinary or poor people.
@@bca5729 Wow...that is incredibly shocking... I am sorry, I didn't know society there in Korea was structured in a way males could get away with such despicable crimes. I myself nearly came to South Korea for university but instead went to South Africa but whilst I was discussing with friend yesterday the pros and cons of moving to South Korea, besides language barrier, we remembered this burning sun incident and "Silenced" movie. It may seem like you are alone in South Korea bravely fighting with the feeling of no-one listening but I can assure you, your voices are being heard and the world is behind you. I'm all the way from Zimbabwe, my friends from South Africa and Burundi are on the side of those brave women who chose to speak out. We, even as males, will support your cause and maybe one day when I get a decent job, I will donate money to some of your local charities that aim at fixing the problem and helping girls and women. God bless and know we are with you and your country 🙏 🇿🇼 ❤🇰🇷
@@turnleft8645 Thank you for your interest in crimes against women in South Korea.
In S.Korea, 95.45% of criminals are men.
On the other hand, 85.81% of victims are women.
In other words, among OECD countries, S.K is a country where men commit crimes against women with an overwhelmingly high rate.
This is because male chauvinism and misogyny are rampant in SK, and SK laws and media are lenient toward SK men.
In SK, it is not surprising that a SK man was found not guilty on charges of gang rape, assault, and illegal filming of women.
I applaud this journalist and her courage, which has probably saved many other women who could have been victims of these horrific attacks. I pray the victims get peace and justice.

A general reminder to all criminals out there, what is done in secret shall eventually be exposed.
I can't type anymore...I'm fed-up...
Huge respect for this female repoter🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The online trolls in S. Korean are really twisted and sick. They like to troll the victims, like how they trolled the families who lost loved ones in the Seoul Halloween crowd crush.
@warsonggulch6998😅😅
Korea is devout Christian country. Dumbo
@warsonggulch6998 i thought most of them are buddhists, no?
Sk men became monsters as they socialized and internalized worst incel mentality online
Many Korean men praise the perpetrators and insult the victims for this incident. They also say that these events are experienced by all Korean men, and that Korean men have the right to watch sexual video.
Well, then there's porn for that where the acts are filmed with consent.
@NeoInoue-mj8bf Wow. Even then, the situation is bad.
@jojipantsu They watch foreign porn.
What thats why the B4 movement is growing , Korean justice is corrupt as Hell
@jojipantsu야동을 보고 싶다면 우선 여성의 성적 지위를 인정하는게 순서다. 아직까지 한국은 여성의 성에 대해 세계 탑급으로 보수적이야. 야동 배우 인터뷰 영상에 도덕을 가장한 악플이 그것을 증명한다.
It reminds me of dystopian societies depicted in fiction mostly in Asian societies like Japan, Hong Kong and of course South Korea. You have to wonder if such fictional works were inspired by realities of the vast underworld existing in the cities or were they influenced by the fictional depictions of such dystopias in their world and acting as if it's how their society should and could be. I' love South Korea and felt it's one of the safest cities in the world, but as always there's something underneath a beautiful facade and in this case it's even worse when not only the authorities are polishing the surface but the societal norm is to continue patching the cracking facade from behind.
The most disturbing part is that the enablers of high rank police officer was acquitted….
Why, they are doing the same!!
Covering for the high ones, they are covering themselves!!
Thanks for the work bbc. Sexual crimes like burningsun, nth room and other molkas are common in Korea.
Hollywood stars went to Esptain Island, but the BBC is hiding it.😅
@@user-jy3ux5iy5f Just going to a place doesn't indicate they were involved in or knew about anything illegal..... It just shows that the Epstein tried to forge links with powerful or well known people and some of them were happy to enjoy the hospitality of a connected person on a private island. If someone with connections invited me to enjoy a holiday on a private island I might go too, wouldn't you ?
And how are the BBC hiding it ? if you google "BBC News Epstein island" there are plenty of articles about it. There are loads even from this year.... Here are some titles of the top results I got from BBC news :
"Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton named in court files"
"Prince Andrew 'spent weeks' at Epstein home - witness"
"US judge orders names of more than 170 Jeffrey Epstein associates to be released"
There is even an article titled "Jeffrey Epstein list: Who is named in court filings?" Where they reel off some of the names....
So???? It doesn’t change the facts that crimes were committed. Pfft!🙄

Why the hell were the sentences for these atrocious crimes so ridiculously short?!!!
That sounds familiar is like hear stories of pop and rock bands, especially westerners bands, but this never go reported by news channels or they were complicit.
Even up to this moment, his cheap fans are still defending the perpetrator, reporting comments condemning the perpetrator and finally being deleted from UA-cam, really disgusting!
The journalist is such a brave women
Like really their justice system is fu..like they give them bare minimum punishment...they should be in jail like for 10years...each one of them...
Nd yeah karma never forgives no matter how much a big person you are...
Its really a toxic place to live in for women.. i now totally understand women's mindset to not get married or have kids in SK.
Thats a little silly, cause its probably not most korean man, who are absolute psychos and this is like fear based people who say "Oh my parents got divorced, so I will never marry either!", acting like they cant choose their spouses and make better choices. Always assuming life is the same for everyone. The reasons people dont have kids in SK are numerous. Not enough living space, high costs, high rates of stress and depression, fear, unhinged school demands etc..
I love great journalism this was excellent work
The concept of Kpop is wrong from the start. You can't call a simple human IDOL, is just a human being after all.
i always thinking abt this, they trying to make perfect thing called IDOL and people keep forgetting that they were just human being
You people calling simple human star and goddess too. Your hypocricy is finest

@@user-jy3ux5iy5f why are you talking to me
When will women be treated as human beings in South Korea...?
Yes, in Korea, but also all over the world since women continue to be victimized to some degree in every society.
Patriarchy is a worldwide issue hun not a South Korea issue. What’s with these Americans everywhere making this some korea issue. This is a human issue. This is not some “exclusive to Korean women” kind of issue.
@@zakeernalir2871 No need to use the condescending and sexist "hun", though. There's no indication whether the original OP is male or female.
@@zakeernalir2871 yes, its a human issue. not an exclusive to korean women issue. but you cant deny that its worse in korea then it is in america. like are you hearing what these korean girls are saying?
the worst part is the high ranking police official who got off SCOT FREE
😤😤😤
Great coverage of such a despicable crime
اتمنى وجود نسخة من هذا الموضوع مترجمة الى اللغة العربية. Please make Arabic translation available for this documentary. It scares me to see people following these K-pop artists blindly. Specifically these criminals who are roaming freely!
I am more concerned about their fans, really disgusting even though their idol has become a suspect but still defended by fans
A lot of them are very delusional.
Disgusting like they say, don't let beauty fool you.
They not even beautiful
All are plastic
Who are you calling beauty?
@@AsiaMohamed-jl4rmI was about to say that
I hv been glued to Netflix watching Korean serials and i was so influenced by the mannerisms shown there especially by the men, the respect towards women and elders. It was so mesmerizing that i hv been watching like 8 hours of Korean content on most days. But this report speaks the opposite of my perspective, sad actually. People in general who gain power by fame should learn to be humble and not exploiters
They need to be cancelled.
the 4B movement makes so much sense now after seeing this horrific event..
Thank you for making this
K-pop has always been plagued with various issues, such as the objectification of women, sexual innuendos, and cultural appropriation. However, these problems have consistently been ignored within the vast fanbase. I have never been able to understand this.
it's hilarious
its deification, people will look past any issues as long as they have a perfect image of their god like person.
It's only ever 'Objectification' of women when it's something other than Onlyfans. When it's Onlyfans, the sleazyness is openly regarded as somehow "empowering". Can't have it both ways.
@skycloud4802 at least women have control over their "objectification" there? thats why its considered empowering. bc most of history, objectification of woman was without their consent
This is because South Korea is a man-worshiping country. Even fangirls are colored by the male worship of Korean society. Therefore, they value the feelings of the male idols they worship more than the lives of women who are victims of crime.
Stephanie Soo also did a video podcast on this: ua-cam.com/video/kFLuckWYBWg/v-deo.html
Good on BBC for spotlighting this
This is the real version of the club Black Sun in the kdrama Taxi Driver season 2. Even down to the K-pop character called Victor - Seungri means victory in korean.
Taxi driver kdrama will never go out of ideas bcz it is based on real incidents.
I was shock for how similar the story be 😱
Nothing has changed. Thats the saddest part. I wonder what those fans of the convicted artists are doing now after they attacked the people who exposed their criminal idols.
Some of them are still fans. Too many.
I am so grateful to the BBC for reporting in detail on the incidents of gang rape, gang violence (torture, including pulling out women's teeth), illegal filming, and police cover-up committed by Korean men in South Korea for several years.
Before the BBC reported, Korean women who have been sexually assaulted are afraid to report it because Korean men have threatened to distribute videos of them being gang-raped.
When Goo Hara, a courageous female victim despite threats, tried to expose the crime, the illegal filming victim was murdered.
However, even though a Korean man was caught on CCTV breaking into Goo Hara's house just before her death, Korean police ruled her death a suicide.
The Korean women only found out about this after the BBC reported it, but police have not yet investigated the culprit.
Another rape victim also mustered up the courage to report it to the police, but instead she was charged with false accusation.
As you can see from the video, the male police officer knew that the women had been brutally raped.
If the BBC had not covered sexual violence in Korea, the Korean media would have forever ignored this terrible incident.
To this day, the Korean men who committed the crime and the male police officers who covered up the incident are innocent, but thanks to the BBC, Korean women are demanding that the Korean men be punished.
Additionally, thanks to the BBC's report, the 'Milyang' gang rape incident that occurred in South Korea also received attention. The ‘Milyang Incident’ is an incident in which dozens of Korean men gang-raped a Korean woman.
Afterwards, Korean male rapists filmed a video of the woman being raped and distributed it.
But Korean men were all found not guilty.
Afterwards, the victim's father abused her and extorted money from her because his daughter had been sexually assaulted.
Including myself, could not trust the Korean media, which only reported articles favorable to Korean men.
It is natural for Korean men who secretly drug women and commit group sexual assault to be acquitted, and it is not even reported on the news.
In Korea, incels are rampant in everyday life, including politics, business, news, law and society.
