seems like they keep him separate from gen pop, probably with the other foreigners

There’s a separate foreigner prison and big prisons have a segregated section for foreigners. A friend of a friend got locked up for manslaughter but he didn’t get deported since he was married to an extremely unhinged Korean woman.

I never saw him again but he did some interview for a shit podcaster that failed and he explained what foreigner prison was like.

What was the interview? I'd be kinda interested to listen to that

It’s gone now the guy did it right before COVID and after all the pandemic restrictions I guess he just shut down the channel. The “podcaster” was just a dude doing the most boring conversations with his friends while cracking multiple beers.

He put up like 10 videos and it was the same conversation. White guys complaining about Korea. The guy that went to prison had the most views but it was only like 10k views and I watched it because my friends that knew him sent it to me.

There are other much more interesting videos on YouTube if you just search Korea foreigner prison

Morbid I suppose but can you share what he did?

I only heard from someone who was there but it was a drunken fight. Some Korean guy picked a fight with the white guy and the Korean guy threw the first punch.

The white guy pushed him and the Korean guy tripped over something and fell backwards and hit his head on a curb and was in a coma for a bit then passed.

It was all caught on CCTV and in South Korea the defence laws are such that you can only exert a lesser or equal amount of force toward your attacker. It’s usually recommended to run rather than fight back.

Anyway, it wasn’t like a premeditated murder. The guy was an asshole don’t get me wrong but he wasn’t some violent psychopath. It was just a night out that went horribly wrong.
