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?
This reporter is a hero. What a disgusting situation.
is not a hero, she couldn´t stop the situation from happening, she only uncover a piece of something that is still happening right now in other clubs
@@thadalikamanot hero but BRAVE
This is because she was caught engaging in prostitution. The punishment for prostitution is too light. Korea is a place where desire is suppressed due to strong Confucianism, but in the women's generation community, women in their 30s are having sexual relations with middle and high school students. The female director of a dermatology hospital hires female employees in their 20s to make money. They hire people to eng*ge in prostitution.
I think she is still infact a hero, coz she unconvered the truth behind those girlies trauma @@thadalikama
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
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!!
Dark side of Korea…tragic and disturbing
Korea or Bangladesh are both same.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
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...
Confucianism
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.
It's sad cause I have never met anyone who had a positive experience while dating a Korean man. Obv there may be some good ones but it's become so rare.
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
Sentences are shockingly low.
Korean and their rich people
Murder is only 5 to 10 here in South Korea.
And he’s back on tv with his own show -
@@missragsdaleseungri
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.
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
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
PLESASE PROTECT THE REPORTER AT ALL COSTS
The sad part also was "HARA" committed suicide, the South Korean singer who help the reporter, very unfortunate turn of events😢
I honestly hope that she just first leave that freaking country with her child rn 😢. She can continue her goal abroad
@@lianison8983and I really don’t think it’s suicide, it’s a coverup, cuz many Korean celebrities not standing with these evils “suicided”
@@lianison8983But did she? Or was it a murder to silence her?
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.
Its south Korea for you, They are fake innocent like their face plastic surgery
Reminds me of here in America, tbh.
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
@@dariel299 yes seungri owned a restaurant in Pavilion named aori ramen. Tapi dah tutup during covid

The female reporters are so brave. S.Korea call feminist to any woman who claims equiality 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 think the Hollywood industry is worse

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
Celebrity & their fangirls are very toxic
Just like your mom
@@chade7669 Nice one “ Chad”
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
Korean/Japanese/Chinese/Vietnamese men have a disgusting attitude towards women.
The sentences are way too low. The culture will never change at this rate.
The sentences are a joke, it's a slap on the face of good men.
Its in their DNA south Koreans are too busy blaming other countries and show racism against tourist visit south korea
True. If these guys were in the US, they would be in prison for decades. And they would be playthings for Black and Mexican gang members.
I think the Hollywood industry is worse
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.
My mom always used to say, don't trust people who are too much perfect. I think she is right ❤
Think??
Think also means in English what you truly mean, not only from thinking..
@@Burgemeesterr there are better expression though...
The fact that people are still supporting seungri , is so disgusting 🤢🤢🤮
Exactly!
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.
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. Basically put, until the leaders with power change, this is going to keep happening.
Guys it's not about Hollywood or k-pop it's about the dignity of humankind in general and we shall protect it..@@user-jy3ux5iy5f
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?
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.
@@Tomf-tz4pdSomething needs to happen to individuals. They need to stop being a**holes.
Since you are Korean, is 4b really a thing in Korea? Or not?
Fans defending their Idol's disgusting actions, makes them even more disgusting for tolerating such behavior.
So f ing disgusting
1 year and 6 months? Wtf. I lived in Korea for more than 20 years. Men talk women like they are objects
I’m glad BBC covered this. The crimes are heinous, the sentences are a joke
Lol, you're glad BBC covered this 5 years late? Should've reported it during the heat of it.
@@DanteLovesPizza it's better than not exposing it at all
@@NavyAng
This isn't an expose. This is like a recap. As far as celebrity news goes, this is like history.
Once again, you don;t know your idols the way you think you do.
Having "idols" in the first place is degenerated and childish. They are all fake and management raised slaves. Who the hell is dumb enough to stan people you dont even know???
The idea of having an idol itself is sick, no man or woman is worth being put on a pedestal.
@@khadyadjisall5708the most logical point of view!!
Idol, bias for what!???
These men look so innocent but are monsters inside
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. 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.

@@user-rv4fq2wi3d 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'?
Those sentences weren't harsh enough
How do You think about Andrew Albert Christian Edward case?
They were like a joke..a filthy dirty joke to victims..
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.
Me too… the name of the club sef…. The scenes the lady spoke off had identical ones to that of the drama
Lol rape isnt considered a big crime in Korea ??? Ridiculius punishment. Like they didnt even really want to punish them.
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.

One hundred percent!
We don't need to change anything. You don't like it then f**k off
With these low convictions, Korea has shown how unimportant the victims' rights are to them.
on the other hand, how wealth and power they value in their society. They can do EVERYTHING without any consequent.
"Women victims". There is a difference.
Huge respect for this female repoter🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Some of their fans still make excuses to this day or brush it aside as if it's not a heinous crime.
To me these people are not fans, are people that agree with crimes. They are criminal as their "idols".
I just had an argument with one on Twitter. They are blindly defending these men. I am shocked like how is rape a forgivable offense and since when ?
@@jinsrj4806 i think you can't reason with them. Those who support criminals clearly have strong criminal mindset themselves.

@@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
Why the hell were the sentences for these atrocious crimes so ridiculously short?!!!
I'm so frustrated with the South Korea. Instead of making fake beautiful images you'd better solved real problems in the country.

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. 😢😢😢
14:29 you mightve missed this part..
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.
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
one year is nothing for ruining a person's life
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.
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.
So why so many people said that korea is a safest country for women.
Most definitely not.
我去韩国网站了解，就连很多韩国女性都这么认为。他们有两派，一个是女权主义者才会骂
Anyone who knows about the reality of Korea would never say that
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!!

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.

The fact that fans tried to bully the reporter is disgusting. I knew K-pop fans were toxic, but eww, this is beyond gross.
I can't type anymore...I'm fed-up...
Even up to this moment, his cheap fans are still defending the perpetrator, reporting comments condemning the perpetrator and finally being deleted from TH-cam, really disgusting!
Most of those people are women, A fly in the ointment
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

Hollywood stars went to Esptain Island, but the BBC is hiding it.😅
@@user-jy3ux5iy5f why are you talking to me
지켜줘야할 인권과 생명을 무시해버린 역겨운 악마들의 범행들 그러나 고작 형량은 터무니없을 정도로 최악이었고 여전히 그들은 아무렇지않게 뻔뻔한 얼굴들을 드리내며 아무런 죄책감도 없이 살아가고있다 이 문제는 다시 철저히 재수사하여야한다 그리고 수고해주신 여기자님들과 bbc에 감사드립니다
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.
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!🙄

아직도 10년전 강남역지하철 계단에 앉아서 울고있었던 어린 백인여자애가 기억난다. 아침6시에 강남역 지하철역 계단에서 옷이 흐트러진채 주저앉아 울고있더라.
순간 클럽에서 무슨일을 당했구나 짐작이 갔다. 왜 한국까지와서 저런일을 당했을까 안타까웠음. 바빠서 도움은 못줬지만 강남역 클럽은 갈곳이 못됨. 외국인들 한국 강남 클럽 오지마라. 안좋은일 당한다.
It’s the fans that are the worst. They are in denial, make excuses, and allow their idols to think they are above it all and have the right to do what they want. They’re as disgusting as their idols who have committed those crimes. I feel so bad for the journalist that did right by the victims.
1 year and 6 months wow .
A very disgusting crime. Is this a culture thing ? Because wow
Yes, it is!!
For korean men and law women are not humans!!
You should also watch a video about forgein girls who were rabed, reported it but got nothing but a letter saying their case is not valid!!
They couldnt even go to the court!!
@@user-hl4vl8qd7h shocking 😳 , such a cowardly crime 😑 . I feel like the men of Korea need to make a stand for their women if the women are being treated like this.
You have mums, sisters family and friends. What about your daughters Korean men ?
@@g4rrrrrrrr what??
Korean men stand up for women??
Why? This situation goes for decades and is so convenient for them!!
Men are also mistreated by the culture but women are low class citizens!!
Men throw the word feminist like an insult so I don't expect anything from them!
Even famous women with a carrier are being mistreated or have to leave their work to become housewives!!
Even in western world there are lots of women who try to make us believe that they became home stay mums by choice and they are having a great time!!
From my experience as a grown up woman and a professional, I have to say this:
There is no equality in every kind of relationship when both parties don't have the same financial status!!
The rest is a big lie from people who have problems but don't want to accept them and make them look pathetic!!
As for South Korea....
There will be no change at all for many years to come...
And I feel sorry cause I live in Seoul and hate this situation but I try to help in every possible way as I don't care about what people and especially men think!!
I will raise my voice as a proud feminist, mother, professional, friend!!
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
The Korean people are very thankful that the BBC has dealt with a very corrupt case that was buried in place of the corrupt media in Korea.
As the political community is heavily involved in this case, no matter how much the public talks about it, the government is in a hurry to cover it with gossip from other celebrities. It is still doing. Those who have taken courage in this case are dead and silent.
As a Korean, I stand for BBC.
Big Black ⬛ Cock .😂😂😂😂
How the fuck are these people not just forever locked away and forgotten is beyond me...
Call the Taxi Driver team. If only they exist in real life but these journalists/reporters are real heroes.
My favorite show
Some female fans still defending them.😡they don’t know the extent of their actions.
Finally a documentary....we need a longer one! And more attention to this ...
the fact that there are still global fans supporting seungri
It's super disgusting, they still be idolising him in their fictional sh*t
Women are just things in South Korea. It’s a thousand year culture
Good for them to refuse to get married or get pregnant, men should reproduce on their own.
INDEED
The journalist is such a brave women
The Korean drama "Taxi Driver season 2" featured this crime, most of the scenes were based from victims, customers, and a few 'merchandisers' testimonies. Burning Club is not just a club, but a crime syndicate.
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 😱
the 4B movement makes so much sense now after seeing this horrific event..
If only we had media like this in INDIA, good job BBC
BBC ain't Korean media
India n Korea are both the same and corrupt
Those monsters got such light sentences - that's a mockery of justice
Korean society is embarrassing😵💫
Yes!!! This is ridiculous, shameful, embarrassing and yet they are proud of this? Wow.
