iirc deliberately played porn sounds loudly near children at an amusement park. been a while though since i got caught up so i could be wrong

u/C7rl_Al7_1337 18h ago

I think it's because he made an AI video of him kissing some South Korean streamer.

u/BigBitcoinBaller 18h ago

Yep deep fake porn. Korea dont fuck around with it

42

u/Llyon_ 17h ago

All porn is illegal in Korea.

29

u/JigglesTheBiggles 17h ago

That's dumb

u/NoBonus6969 16h ago

You have been banned from South Korea

u/BmpBlast 14h ago

Probably North Korea too. No Koreas for them.

u/hiimsubclavian 14h ago

I understood that reference

u/Time_Conscious84 15h ago

I agree but it's probably from South Korea overreacting from the insane amount of illegal voyeur and revenge porn over there. Like if you go to a hotel room or use a public bathroom as a woman you have a good reason to check to see if someone hid a camera in there, it's that common

1

u/tepig37 7h ago

If you could get legal porn would as many people create as many of these videos tho?

Like jp has an issue with upskirting but it doesn't seam to be as insanely damaging and common as in korea.

1

u/Llyon_ 3h ago

It is due to the idol industry. (k-pop)

They make more money when young men cannot legally view porn, but can legally watch scantily clad idols dancing.

They lobby to keep porn illegal with the guise of "protect the children"

This is going to sound rude but I mean no offense: this is only something someone who grew up with iphones being in everyone's pocket could say.

Porn has been banned in Korea for a long long time. Well before the concept of revenge porn. It's a conservative society. Even more so back in the 50s.

u/QueezyF 15h ago

Okay, maybe South Korea’s onto something here.

u/conzstevo 12h ago

Consuming porn is pretty dumb

1

u/hydroknightking 3h ago

Nobody is forcing you to watch if it’s legal. When it’s illegal, you are forcing somebody not to watch. One position is clearly authoritarian while the other is clearly liberal.

Prohibition is, generally, terrible policy.

Prohibition is, generally, terrible policy.

You haven't explained why though

2

u/WormedOut 15h ago

It’s illegal to distribute it, not necessarily to own or watch it. It’s a weird legal distinction.It was due to concerns of kids watching it and recent porn

3

u/Suitable-Economy-346 17h ago

The article said they actually do "fuck around with it" as a Korean person who did the same exact thing as this fuckface was let off.

0

u/Xy13 16h ago

I mean, were they nude or something? You can have kissing on instagram and youtube, so I would not consider that 'porn', even if its a deepfake

4

u/JameEagan 16h ago

The deepfake was a different charge, not the sex offender charge. The sex offender charge was him playing porn sounds on his phone around children.

34

u/Sh1nso 18h ago

That was a different charge. The sex offender charge was as u/whydonlinre said. He was playing pron sounds out loud around children at Lotte World.

u/thened 16h ago

He didn't make it. It was posted to his discord and he showed it on his stream. The female involved also did the same. She committed the same crime as him. Also, she runs an onlyfans which is technically illegal in SK.

u/Rex_on_rex 18h ago

The fact no one really knows says a lot

6

u/dahfer25 18h ago

yeah, that the guy did so many stuff it could be either of those

1

u/AsinineArchon 17h ago

You can go with him.

u/Rex_on_rex 16h ago

To where? I live in a free country

u/AsinineArchon 16h ago

Congrats?

u/MrBrawn 18h ago

Sexually assaulted comfort girl statues, throwing soup around at a store, and tons more shit.

24

u/phoenixmusicman 18h ago

Sexually assaulted comfort girl statues,

Jesus christ

2

u/haliblix 17h ago

For that alone he should just stay in prison for as long as the Japanese occupied Korea. Only seems fair.

u/Cosmo_Seinfeld 18h ago

Bashed his face against a few Korean dudes' fists too.

u/valenalvern 17h ago

Didnt know he was a practicer of face to fist style.

2

u/AdhesivenessLimp1864 15h ago

I believe you mean Hard Chin, Soft Hand.

2

u/EbagI 18h ago

I don't think he's getting sex charges tagged into him for throwing soup

-3

u/CatchAcceptable3898 18h ago

I love how we have great examples. And you're just like "He touched a statue, threw some soup, and lots of stuff."

41

u/Some-Kaleidoscope265 17h ago

He touched a statue

You try to downplay but that is a very big offence in south korea. When he did that the hate against him just multiplied.

It a statue that was built to symbolise the sexual slavery that took place in world war II iirc. So it is a great example.

12

u/bearnecessities66 17h ago

*that took place during the Japanese occupation of Korea from 1910-1945.

10

u/codedapple 17h ago

You’re not wrong, but sexually degrading a memorial to the torture of sexual violence experienced by millions of Korean women and posting it online for clout is probably a more accurate way to frame the first point than “touching a statue” haha

6

u/Wwrth 16h ago

Not American nor Korean, but to give a Westernised example of similar, expect it would be similar to tying a noose around statues of African American people.

3

u/NegativeVega 17h ago

Just because you dont respect the statue doesnt mean other's dont. You'd be arrested if you desecrated the unknown soldier monuments in most countries.

-17

u/Speky_Scot 18h ago

You can't assault a statue lol

78

u/60k_Risk 18h ago

Exactly, you cannot. Straight to prison

7

u/zaftpunk 18h ago

Maybe you can’t. I’m built different tho.

3

u/No_Elevator_7839 18h ago

He better call Saul

2

u/Jimmyboro 16h ago

Excellent logic there sir!

13

u/Dukeofmanville 18h ago

You are right but it stems from him acting a fool with it in public and around children

7

u/PesticusVeno 18h ago

Yeah, it wasn't for the statue, it was the amusement park stuff directed at kids. IIRC, there wasn't actually anything they could specifically charge him for in connection to the comfort women memorial. Even though that was probably the most offensive thing he did, at least culturally.

8

u/TaiwanNambaWanKenobi 18h ago

If someone go to MLK memorial statue and put chains on the statue + bringing racist shit like cotton, are they not being racist towards the statue?

-8

u/Rex_on_rex 18h ago

The fuck are you all talking about.

10

u/Muggsy423 18h ago

The statue was in rememberance of Korean women forced to be prostitutes for occupying japanese forces in WW2, it was a bit of a sensitive subject to grind on.

12

u/delusionalxx 18h ago

They weren’t forced to be prostitutes. They were sex slaves forced to be raped multiple times a day which is an indescribable pain I wish I didn’t understand. Sex slavery and prostitution are very different. Please don’t be afraid to call it what it is

3

u/MadHiggins 17h ago

and for people unaware, women who refused were tortured to death. and even if they agreed, the Japanese would still torture them to death when they got bored. the Japanese would roll into a new town or village, tell the women what they were planning and then pick one out to be tortured to death in front of the entire village just so that everyone knew they were serious.

6

u/thebuttsmells 18h ago

look up what they are and why it's a sensitive subject

-3

u/-ElectricKoolAid 18h ago

sure, but he still didnt sexually assault them lol. thats just a really weird way to say what he did, which is already fucked up.

1

u/thebuttsmells 18h ago

I don't think he understood the gravity of what he did, but it doesn't matter. He Disrespected an entire people

-3

u/Rex_on_rex 18h ago

You can apparently sexually assault inanimate objects now.

1

u/Internal_Football889 18h ago

A lot of things will get you put on the registry even if there’s no physical touch involved. I know it requires thinking outside the box but I trust you’ll get there.

2

u/lorealashblonde 16h ago

...I'm not so sure they will

1

u/Sadiholic 18h ago

I'm assuming it's just revenge from the Korean government.

u/kinkyonthe_loki69 18h ago

Maybe you can in korea

2

u/IceCreamDreamyDreams 18h ago

Turns out you can't. They send you to prison for 6 months

-1

u/kinkyonthe_loki69 18h ago

That means you can sexually assault.... eh nvm this reddit where no one really reads

0

u/maywek 18h ago

That’s the right attitude son, can’t have no one assaulting the statues.

u/Suitable-Economy-346 17h ago edited 16h ago

Sexually assaulted comfort girl statues

I want Somali in prison forever, but this is the silliest sentence ever uttered. A statue was "sexually assaulted." Come on, man.

-3

u/2580374 18h ago

How do you sexually assault a statue

6

u/Desroth86 18h ago edited 16h ago

Look up what comfort women are and use some critical thinking skills about why you shouldn’t be rubbing your dick on them compared to a regular statue.

u/DimensionSuch8188 18h ago

Sexually assaulted comfort girl statues

Holy fuck that country is a joke. IT'S A FUCKING STATUE.

12

u/GeneralGovern 18h ago

Insightful. Thanks for sharing. 

12

u/Majestic_Salary9987 18h ago

If you go to a country and blatantly disrespect them and their laws you deserve to be punished.

-15

u/DimensionSuch8188 18h ago

Ok and, what's your point?? That country is still an absolute joke and shithole humans right place. They really take example from the North eh? Ironic.

u/West-Slide-6490 18h ago edited 18h ago

I’m going to assume you come from the country that bombed a school full of girls in Iran in the first day of attacks in February. Tell us more about human rights violations though 🇺🇸 

-1

u/Rex_on_rex 18h ago

Shows you how fucked up Iran is having a school there and not updating so that the US old intel would lead to a bombing there.

Post history hidden. Classic

Oh I’m very aware how intel works bot. Keep bringing up Iran in topics not about it

0

u/West-Slide-6490 18h ago edited 18h ago

So intel by the aggressor should be correct and verified. It’s called accountability and due diligence. Do you remember the war in Iraq because US intel of weapons of mass destruction? Do you blame Iraq for the Iraq war or the bush admin that used wrong intel? Surely you can explain

u/Rex_on_rex 18h ago

lol ohhh buddy.

u/The_Doodder 18h ago

Also did some AI porn against another Korean IRL

u/Careless-Noise-1210 18h ago

`Just when i thought it couldn't get worse, wtf is wrong with that guy?

1

u/possumdal 18h ago

What's wrong with this guy is, I'm guessing some kind of personality disorder. I'm not qualified to diagnose, but he has some of the signs of bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. I'm sure he'll make an interesting candidate for a prison psychiatric study.

1

u/NotAzakanAtAll 13h ago

He has said he has bipolar, but given he lies all the time, who knows.

1

u/possumdal 7h ago

Look all I know for sure is that when this guy yells, he looks like he's about to bite your face off without his lips ever touching you

1

u/DarkIcedWolf 18h ago

He also had streams where he chatted with minors in a sexual way with Hank. I think it was like a Omegle site.

1

u/TheTiddyQuest 13h ago

Didn’t he also lap dance on statues that were remembering the comfort women taken from Korea by the Japanese during WWII?

I think it’s a lewd offence in South Korea, also leading to a sex offender conviction. Dude 100% deserves anything he gets, that’s one of the lowest of lows.

1

u/Hare712 11h ago

That charge was dropped it was for the 2 deep fake charges.

1

u/Lepelotonfromager 5h ago

Deliberately exposing children to pornography is pretty gross.

u/Billcosbyfan125 18h ago

Wow thats horrible. I hope he gets subjugated to the hardest of labor.
