Weird that they've made a spin-off from a non-existent show.
Under South Korean law, its citizens are prohibited from using drugs, even if they are abroad in a country where…
I'm not clear on what you're saying about extraterritorial law enforcement regarding U.S. property in other countries, so I won't try to respond. Yoo did not smoke dope on Korean property in the U.S. Those laws are psycho.
Also, you know what's really bizarre about Korea? As you say, the public is still largely "conservative and closed," so how to explain Kpop? Near-naked young women gyrating on stage in all manner of seductive, very sexually alluring costumes, performing often erotically-charged choreography to Western-style pop/rock/rap music.
Same for the guys: Though unfortunately they mostly remain clothed, the costumes and especially the choreo are often extremely sexual and suggestive. Not only that, but a big percentage of male Kpop idols are clearly gay, and a lot of the "fan service" and on-stage antics among group members plays to the audience's desire to see a couple of them get it on, or at least pretend that they do.
Kpop is HUGE in Korea and more so all over the world. BTS had a #1 hit on the hot 100 here. (I hated it, but no one cares what I think.) I do follow a couple of groups and solo acts, starting about five years ago, which is why I know these things even as an old fart in America.
Furthermore, Korean cinema, which I follow avidly, has been producing mainstream flicks with the hottest, most graphic, most naked sex scenes I have ever seen for at least 20 years. I love Korean movies in general, which is how I know these things also. :)
So, how do we square the supposed "conservatism" at the heart of Korean society with the overwhelming popularity of Kpop and sex in successful, mainstream Korean movies? To me, it's schizophrenic as hell.
Under South Korean law, its citizens are prohibited from using drugs, even if they are abroad in a country where…
Totally disagree about the law thing. Hell, most COPS don't know the laws they're supposed to enforce, let alone the public.
Yes, I hope he gets whatever rudimentary drug addiction treatment is available in Korea while he is in prison, though I would be surprised. Korea is mostly about blaming, shaming, and punishing perceived offenders, not helping them become better people.
Bro, is that supposed to mean something? Before you go off on some USA-hating rant, I am fully aware that the US is far from perfect and has many problems. But here we are discussing YAI's sentencing and drug laws in Korea, not America's obsession with guns, not our huge rich/poor divide, not the scourge of the Republican party, not our own drug use problems, not alleged Imperialism or a hundred other things you are eager to bitch at me about.
When it comes to drug addicts and their treatment by the law and society, America is a century ahead of Korea. In the US Yoo would be headed for mandatory rehab, mandatory community service, a fine, and eventual probation, not a fucking prison where his disease may actually get worse. It's the pushers, dealers, traffickers, and often doctors who go to prison here...Bro.

Because I despise that phrase, "it is what it is." It means nothing at all and became a thing only about 20 years ago. People already know a thing is what the thing already is, saying "it is what it is" adds nothing but people use it as if it were profound.
I'm not annoyed at YOU in particular, but the phrase. :D
You didn't say "idols and actors," you said "every Korean citizen..."
Precisely! I was hoping Yoo would flee to the U.S. before Korea threw him in the slammer. However, I'd guess Korea would demand his extradition and the U.S., as a close ally, would comply.
In every case, the Propofol was administered by a doctor in a hospital setting, making this insanely severe punishment…
I make no excuse for the doctor. Propofol is a very short-acting anesthetic; almost useless as a sleep aid because it wears off so quickly, usually in 20 minutes or so. Thus, those to whom it is administered wake up not too long after Propofol wears off.
I have been administered Propofol for minor medical procedures. You go out like a light, but you wake up a half hour later or so. I hope these "doctors" weren't giving him repeated doses in one night, as that is extremely dangerous. Propofol, administered in exactly this way, is what killed Michael Jackson. I'm amazed that, given the publicity surrounding that death, any physician would risk killing off a famous person by overdosing them.
I just keep wondering if Yoo Ah In thought "this must not be illegal. How else would I be getting this treatment from a licensed physician in a hospital setting?"
I'm appalled that nothing has been said about his doctors/pushers being stripped of their medical licenses.
Under South Korean law, its citizens are prohibited from using drugs, even if they are abroad in a country where…
"it is what it is..." The lamest excuse on Earth.
What in the world makes you think "every SK citizen is aware of the law?" I 'd bet most people are unaware. WTF business of the Korean government's is it what their people do while in other countries, under those country's laws and traditions? Why aren't ALL Korean laws effective regardless of where they are broken? Why only drugs, especially Marijuana, which is far less destructive to mind, body, and society than Soju?
It's pure performance art for the gullible, conservative Korean public, who picks and chooses which things to be upset about.
YAY! And we will welcome him with open arms! Hollywood is waiting with big movie offers and the possibility for a great career. Yoo will not be shamed for using. He can make the most of sobriety programs here to stay clean and sober, and be celebrated for setting a wonderful example for other addicts.
marijuana is legalized in lots of countries already.To imprision someone for using drugs is not the right way…
What BS. Korea has the highest rate of alcoholism in the entire world. It costs the economy billions of $$$ in a hundred different ways each year. The alleys of Korea flow with Soju and puke each night, but you're good with that, right? What harm did YAI's addiction do to anyone else but him?
For me it's more a shock that the guy seemed to be suffering from chronic insomnia & severe depression, was working…
HAHAHA...I guess you believe every conspiracy theory out there about the U.S., given that you feel terribly insecure about where you live.
Yes, America is a hell-hole. That's why there are 2.7 MILLION Asian college students here and hundreds of thousands of other Asians move here each year. 878,000 people from all over the world moved here last year.
Your attempt to change the topic here is pathetic. We're talking about Yoo Ah In and Korea's insane drug laws and show-off police and courts, who love to treat celebs roughly for maximum publicity. In the U.S. we treat addicts, we don't throw them in prison. That is saved for the pushers, dealers, traffickers, and doctors whose business it is to get people like Yoo hooked and then milk them for maximum $$$.
As for invasions, have you finished invading your private parts while you fantasize your moral superiority to YAI and the rest of us? Did you achieve victory? Are you close?
For me it's more a shock that the guy seemed to be suffering from chronic insomnia & severe depression, was working…
HAHAHA...yeah, it's a complete hell-hole here. That's why hundreds of thousands of people from Asia come here to get a college education each year, and why hundreds of thousands of others from all over the world immigrate to America each year.
Ask the Japanese, Germans, Italians, and French about how meeeeeean America was to them after WW2 and ask the Koreans about how mean America was to them after the Korean War. Without the U.S., there would be no South Korea. Everyone would be living under the psycho fat pig dictator to the north.
NO country is perfect, least of all mine. Still, we're talking about Yoo Ah In and thousands of other sick people thrown in jail by the Korean government and their psycho-overkill drug obsession, putting on a show of zero tolerance for the public each year. They killed off Lee Sun Kyun eight months ago, so they're trying for another trophy head with Yoo Ah In.
Here, addicts like Yoo are sentenced to treatment and community service, not prison. We save that for the pushers, dealers, traffickers, and sometimes even doctors who get people addicted, then squeeze every penny they can out of them, as was done to Yoo. Addiction is a disease and is to be treated, not used as an excuse to destroy lives.
Meanwhile, Korea drowns in alcohol (a drug!), costing itself billions of $$$ every year, but you're cool with that. What am I saying? You're likely a raging alkie yourself, which would explain your unhinged, virtue-signaling comments here. Alcohol damages mind and body faster than most recreational drugs.
Go suck down some Soju and puke in a grimy toilet tonight with the rest of your good, drug-free citizens.
Are you touching yourself as you write all these flagrantly stupid/judgemental/self-righteous comments? Getting off on the suffering of a very sick person, desperately trying to shore up your ego by pretending you're superior to a very sick celebrity?
Please go ahead and bring yourself to climax, so we don't have to see you here anymore.
