Netizens angered by the low fine amount (800 USD) given to Jung Joon Young for soliciting prostitution

Posted by sl278836 pts Friday, April 3, 2020

Former entertainer and artist Jung Joon Young has been fined 1 million KRW ($809.52 USD) for soliciting prostitution.

Netizens are angered by the low fines that both Jung Joon Young and former 'Burning Sun' director Kim received. Kim was fined 2 million KRW ($1619.04 USD). 


Comments include: 

"Is this how the Nth rooms came to be? Because the punishment is this weak?"

"This is amazing for a developed country..."

"Korea's laws are clearly rotten."

"Can we even call this place a country.
"This is cheaper than a bottle of alcohol they would buy at a club."

Meanwhile, Jung Joon Young has also been sentenced to 6 years in prison in a separate trial in November 2019 for illegal camera recordings and sexual assault.

There's a difference between sexual assault or rape and having consensual sex with a sex worker. If the 1 million won punishment is for him paying for consensual sex, then I'm fine with that. I think he needs to have harsher penalties for the other crimes he committed: filming people illegally and sexual assault.

Basically yes. There's no deterrent. You say something is a crime but give such a small punishment of course people are going to do it again and escalate.
