1. In South Korea, justice has vanished from the law,
and court rulings that ignore public sentiment and defy common sense are repeatedly handed down.
There are several things that make it truly difficult to be a victim in South Korea.

First : It's hard to find police officers who actually side with the victim and do their job, especially when so many of them clearly don't want to work.
(Cases where assault victims die because the police fail to take any action even after a report has been filed are frequently reported in the news.)



Video Summary
A woman reported dating violence nine times, but no action was taken by the authorities.
Eventually, she died as a result of the assault. Following the incident, the police chief issued an official apology.

Second : Even if the perpetrator somehow gets prosecuted and the case goes to trial, the legal sentencing guidelines are shockingly lenient.

Third : Victims have to face a judiciary that seems more empathetic toward offenders than victims.
Even when victims plead for harsh punishment and refuse to forgive, these judges, as if it's their life's mission,
grant forgiveness on behalf of the victim and hand down the lightest possible sentence allowed by law always backed by some excuse.
Honestly, the South Korean justice system just leaves you sighing in despair.



Video Summary
A man, after drinking alcohol, drove with his companions in the car.
While driving, he ran a red light and crashed into another vehicle, killing the other driver.
The perpetrator showed no remorse and said something along the lines of,
The perpetrator said, "I'll probably just get a light sentence anyway," and chose to face legal punishment without offering any compensation to the victim.
The court ruled that the passengers bore no responsibility and sentenced only the driver to 1 year and 8 months in prison.

What makes this ruling so outrageous is that,
The point is that such a light sentence was handed down even though the perpetrator had provided no compensation to the bereaved family,
and the judge had confirmed that he had no intention of doing so.
In South Korea, rulings like this are not rare anomalies. They happen regularly.
Whenever such cases make the news, people leave comments like:
"Would you rule the same way if the victim were your own family?"
And yet, these absurd, disgraceful verdicts keep coming without change.



Video Summary
A bus driver was fired by the bus company for allegedly embezzling 800 won (about $0.60).
The driver filed a lawsuit, claiming the dismissal was unfair.
However, the presiding judge ruled that the dismissal was justified.
Interestingly, in other cases overseen by the same judge, the rulings were quite different:
A university professor who embezzled 270 million won (about $200,000) from a research fund was reinstated.
An intelligence agency employee who accepted 1.62 million won (about $1,200) in entertainment was also reinstated.

In South Korea, it has long been customary for judges to impose harsh penalties on the poor, while treating the wealthy with leniency.
There is even a saying in Korea: "If you have money, you're innocent; if you don't, you're guilty."
To be honest, when I watch the news, there are maybe only one or two times a year if that when I feel that a court ruling is actually fair.
South Korea is by no means a truly advanced country. Its judicial system is far too corrupt and dysfunctional to be called that.
Can't believe it? It's 100% true.


2. South Korea is a crazy country where about 40% of the population votes for candidates from conservative parties that support martial law.
This means that 40% of the Korean population lacks basic judgment.
And most of them are either from a specific region or belong to a certain age group.
If Yi Wan-yong, who sold out the country, came back to life and ran for office as a candidate from a conservative party that supports martial law, they would vote for him.

South Korea is falling apart because of thoughtless conservatives.
