It is said that sexual violence crimes targeting foreign women are occurring frequently in South Korea.
An American woman was chased from inside the subway to outside the station ticket gate.
She said she was traumatized as she was obscene and strangled to her neck.
On January 14, 2022, the Hankook Ilbo reported that "sexual violence crimes targeting foreigners are occurring frequently."
"It is a crime aimed at'socially vulnerable people'who are not familiar with domestic circumstances and communication is not smooth." I have pointed out.
According to police statistics, there were 938 sexual violence crimes targeting foreigners in 2017, 980 in 2018, and 924 in 2019.
Since the spread of the new coronavirus, the influx of foreigners has decreased, resulting in a slight decrease.
However, there are 747 cases in 20 years and 727 cases in 21 years (provisional value), which is still more than 700 cases a year.
Looking at the crime types last year, there were 554 cases of rape and forced obscenity, 124 cases of shooting with cameras, and 427 cases of obscene acts using communication media.
There are seven cases of intrusion into public places for sexual purposes.
A 26-year-old woman from Canada was obscenely acted by a stranger in Daegu in July 2008.
She said she was forced into a restaurant in the city and she was drunk and touched her body.
She said, "She didn't care when she looked at the passers-by for help." She said, "She didn't help until she ran away on her own." There is.
A 36-year-old Irish woman was touched by a man in her 60s on the subway and was shown a smartphone playing her obscene video.
She escaped from the man at the destination station, but she said she couldn't find anyone to ask for help, she didn't know what to do, and she couldn't even call.
Foreign women complain that they are suffering from daily damage, such as being followed by just walking around the city or getting drunk.
It is said that there are many in downtown areas such as Shinchon and Hongdae where many foreigners live.
A 30-year-old female from the United States who lives near Hongdae said, "Korean men often try to make physical contact and sometimes feel that they are being treated as things." "Let's talk." Even if he refused strongly, he couldn't let go and reported to the police. "" I'm annoyed that I should be treated like that just because I'm a foreign woman. "
A 34-year-old American woman was chased by a man from inside a subway train to outside the station ticket gate, and she was not only obscenely acted but also strangled to her neck.
There is. she escaped thanks to her friends, but she said the woman was "very scared. She couldn't speak Korean and couldn't report. She's traumatized."
There are two main reasons why such crimes targeting foreigners occur frequently: "I can't speak Korean and I don't know the social system well" and "The prejudice that foreigners are sexually open compared to Koreans". The article points out.
Victims said, "I'm lethargic because I don't have a family in Korea and I can't ask for help." "It seems that a man who is afraid to approach Korean women is approaching foreigners. "And so on.
South Korea is an "unsafe country" for victims, and some are planning to leave and return to their home countries by the end of the year.
According to this article, Korean internet users said, "You should hunt down and punish yourself. It's terrible." "What surprises foreigners when they come to Korea is the Korean culture of playing with girls in karaoke and cabaret clubs when they have free time. That's right. It's a dirty face of Korea. "" It is necessary to have correct sex education and personality education in elementary, junior high and high schools. " It is not the Republic of Korea. ”“ Korea is full of sexual crimes. It is still far from a safe country for women and children. Rather, it is retreating. ”
On the other hand, "Isn't there such an incident in Europe and America? It should be more than in South Korea." "Would you like to write an article about Koreans who have been victims of crimes by foreigners?" If something goes wrong, you can shoot it with your smartphone. It's a proof and you can believe it's a true story. A foreigner who came to make money but failed and returned home told a strange story. Comments such as "There are cases where we go" are also raised, "Why are there many comments defending sex criminals?" "Whether the crime rate targeting foreign women is high or low, they Isn't it a shame as a Korean because the damage caused in this country is a problem? "

"When he sat by my side, he touched my leg (bridge) and casually looked at my cell phone."
Linda (36, pseudonym) from Ireland, who has lived in South Korea for nearly three years, is still terrifying when she remembers only her memory of the day a year ago.
A middle-aged man in his 60s sat in the seat next to Linda, who took the subway line 2 late last February.
The man, who dared to sit down with Linda in an empty seat, immediately made internal contact with him and placed his cell phone on Linda's leg (bridge).
Porn videos were playing on mobile phones.
Linda recalled, "I was frozen at that moment and I was looking only at the front," and "I was seen in the window on the other side, but the man was also staring at my face through the window."
As soon as Linda was at his destination, Shinchon Station, someone raised his hand on his shoulder.
Intuition that she was the man next door, she shouted, "Please leave me alone," and ran to the exit stairs with all her might to die.
She went out of history and tried to ask for help, but there was neither police nor anyone in the distance to help.
Linda said she couldn't file a tax return because she didn't know what to do.
Sexual assault crimes targeting foreigners are frequent.
It is a crime aimed at "socially vulnerable people" who are not good at communication due to the dark domestic situation, and the number of crimes exceeding 900 every year is more than 700 every year due to the tendency of the crime to decrease due to the Corona 19 epidemic.
It has been pointed out that sexual assault on foreigners is not only a crime that causes the victims to suffer the greatest pain, but also an act that seriously damages South Korea's external image.
According to the statistics submitted by the police to the Democratic Party of Korea's parliamentary office on the 13th, the number of crimes against foreigners was close to 1,000 every year, including 938 in 2017, 980 in 2018, and 924 in 2019.
Due to the spread of Corona 19, the influx of foreigners decreased and decreased slightly, but 747 cases in 2020 and 727 cases last year (provisional) still occur more than 700 cases a year.
Considering the cases that cannot be declared even if they are damaged, it is estimated that the actual number of cases is even higher.
Looking at crimes by type last year, there were 554 cases of rape and forced obscenity, 124 cases of shooting using cameras, etc., 42 cases of nasty use of communication media, and 7 cases of intrusion into public places.
Laura (26, pseudonym) from Canada was also forced to obscene in July 2020 by being dragged by an unfamiliar man in Daegu.
She was standing on the street and was hit.
"I looked at the passers-by to let them know that I was in a bad situation, but no one cares." The man who took him to the room bar was forced. I gave him food and sake, drank it, and stroked his body.
Laura said, "The man got his hands on my underwear," and "I pretended to go to the bathroom and tried to get out, but I was stopped."
No one helped Laura in the process of finally rejecting the man, putting together his cell phone and bag and running away.
Frequent crimes in downtown areas such as Shinchon and Hongdae
Foreign women complain that sexual violence is routine.
Even while walking on the street, unpleasant things such as someone following or being caught by a drunken customer frequently occur.
Their experiences are that such damage is frequent in downtown areas such as Sinchon and Hongdae, where many foreigners visit.
Jennifer (30, pseudonym) from the United States lived near Hongdae and suffered sexual assault several times.
She said, "There are times when Korean men try to come into physical contact, so there have been times when I felt like an object."
She said, "There was a time when a man held my arm and asked to talk, but he refused to let me go, and I reported it to the police." Jennifer said that she suffered from this often and developed an anxiety disorder.
“It makes me so angry that she has to be treated like that just because she is a foreign woman,” she said.
It was also near Hongdae where American Patricia (34, pseudonym) was assaulted several years ago while being chased by a man. Riding the subway with her friend, she got the feeling that someone was staring at them.
With her ominous premonition, Patricia and her group fell into a panic as they got off at the Hongik University Station.
She was followed by a man who followed the two men running away. Just as she was about to come out of the station exit, the man ran over Mr. Patricia, pretending to be sexually active with her, and strangling her by the neck.
Although her friend escaped her crisis by knocking her man down, her memories of her day were traumatic for her Ms. Patricia.
She said, "It was so scary and I couldn't even report it because I couldn't speak Korean. It was hard (mentally) every time I told her friends about the incident."
Prejudice of 'foreigners are open' also encourages crime
There are two main reasons why sexual violence against foreigners is frequent in Korea.
Foreigners are not proficient in Korean and do not know the security system well, so follow-up measures are insufficient, and there is a widespread prejudice that foreign women are more sexually open than Korean women.
Linda said, "Being a foreigner, I think that I will not be able to hire a lawyer, so I feel like a more (criminal) target.
Patricia pointed out, "A lot of Korean men seem to approach foreigners with the thought that 'foreign women are sexually open' or 'Korean women are afraid to approach them'."
For these victims, Korea is bound to be perceived as an unsafe country.
Some made plans to leave Korea and return to their homeland.
Linda said, "I've lived in many countries, including the UK, the US, and Ireland, but this never happened before I came to Korea.
