In November 2023, a man in his 20s assaulted a convenience store clerk. Shouting, “You have short hair, so you must be a feminist,” and “I’m a member of the men’s solidarity group, and feminists deserve to be beaten,” he attacked her. As a result of the assault, she suffered permanent hearing loss in her left ear requiring a hearing aid for life, and her teeth became loose, necessitating dentures. She later sued him for 30 million won in compensation, which he refused. The court ordered him to pay 20 million won, but he rejected it, claiming he couldn’t afford it. He continues to insist that her hearing loss and dental damage are not his fault. To counter his claims, she must undergo medical examinations costing millions of won. Additionally, he recently sent her a letter saying, “If you don’t want me to die and disappear from this world, please forgive me and reduce the compensation amount.” He is scheduled for release this year, and she lives in fear of his release. naver.me/5yhDJz33

Recently, a woman in her 20s was relentlessly stalked by a male stalker in his 40s and ultimately murdered. To evade him, she changed jobs multiple times and sought help from police and those around her. However, despite her repeated reports, the police did not detain him, and she was eventually discovered and killed by the stalker while heading to her new workplace. (The stalker has prior convictions for crimes including rape and assault.) Although police announced plans for proactive responses to stalking crimes in 2025, the principles they promised failed to work in practice. Courts have been reluctant to detain perpetrators, citing “violation of right to defense,” and have not actively separated victims from offenders. If the police had acted more decisively and properly responded to her pleas for help, she might still be alive. naver.me/5UVX76dr
