According to an article in the conservative JoongAng Daily last weekend, “Drunk women have to fear for their lives” when out and about indulging themselves in the Seoul night scene.
The article reported a string of fairly horrific crimes, all of which had uncomfortable similarities with the now infamous Suwon murder (that saw the rape, murder and dismembering of a young woman), the perpetrator of which has just narrowly escaped the death penalty after a court in Seoul delivered a life sentence instead.
