The fight against pedophilia is not even old but ongoing in South Korea.

In 2020, South Korea has raised the age of consent for sex to 16 from 13 as it seeks to strengthen protection for minors following accusations the existing law on sex crimes was too weak. Prior to 2020 the age of consent in South Korea was 13 as set by Japan under colonial rule

Under the revised law, adults who have sex with under-16-year-olds will be prosecuted for child sexual abuse or rape regardless of any alleged consent.

Previously, teenagers aged 13 or older were held to be legally capable of consenting to sex, resulting in controversial cases and critics saying that sex offenders were escaping without punishment due to the low benchmark.

In 2017, a 42-year-old man was found not guilty of raping a then 15-year-old on the grounds she had consented, provoking outrage and calls for the age limit to be raised.

Despite its economic and technological advances, South Korea remains a traditional and patriarchal society, where victims of sexual assault have been shamed for coming forward.

The age of consent was raised to 16 in order to "protect teenagers from sex crimes at a fundamental level", the South's Justice Ministry said in a statement.

The amended law also eliminated statutes of limitation for sexual crimes against minors under 13.

WHEN DID YOU GET SO PRETTIER?

We know with jhope solo that half of bts solos will be flops.

They can never be blackpink and bigbang.

I think all newjeans music has is next door girl vibe. Like u can open your window and can imagine those girls dancing in your neighbour's pool or in the playground singing while all the boys watch.

I think Red velvet titles is peak Kpop.

IF ONLY ITZY COULD GET A HIT SONG. SHE REMINDS ME OF NOZE.

Not the self proclaimed ones putting on their twitter accounts, but the real no.1 girl group

I think there's no 'Kpop' in them. I don't know if it's a bad or good thing.

With a flop song like Girls? For ggs, it's all about the hits.

Quote from alexS

ok...I still don't understand that.

Just because it was not a full group comeback but a solo from the group or a subunit its not a comeback?

That is not right mate.

Irene&Seulgi was a comeback from RV Irene&Seulgi

Lisa's Money was a comeback from BP Lisa.

And a ton more examples, including Nabongs.

I understand that not all members were singing, but they were there for them.

And their entire team was there (producers, stylists ETC)

Rest was given appropriately to all except nadingdong

RV went on hiatus because of Wendy’s injury. Since queendom they have two cb and a Japanese cb. They’re still active.

In a span of 3 months, a solo, a japanese comeback, a korean comeback while having a US tour at the first half of the year. RV never did anything like that and are much more free with their schedule.

Quote from killthisfenty

Y’all really used to senior groups not making music anymore. RV is older than twice and they still pretty much active but I don’t see the same energy.

Red velvet took a hiatus of 2 years when they focused on solos and subunit

Quote from itiswhatitisss

ppl are setting SNSD up with these comparisons cause their last comeback was kind of a bomb & they were never known for being digimons in the same way someone like bigbang were. i think most sones are just happy that they're together again & arent expecting much

out of all the august comebacks I'm actually more interested to see who will win between BP and IVE. the trendy rookie GG rising fast vs the established GG with several hits under their name. will be interesting

last comeback was a goodbye comeback and anomaly. They always hit no.1 on charts.

A 5 year hiatus vs 2 year hiatus.. I think Girls generation the original NGG has more hype with more hiatus

Nayeon need a break. They are coming back so fast.

I think Aespa girls is the biggest disappointment in kpop history

Top 5 GG ranking

1. bp

2. aespa

3. twice

4. ive

5. red velvet.

itzy disapponted us with that smelly sneakers.

It's over for bp. They can't beat aespa sales.

Quote from Bpsosoro

No group surpassed their previous first day views this year, rumor that YouTube changed how they count views again

there's always an excuse i'm crying

POPULARITY SHOULD NEVER BE BOUGHT

Looks like they won't be surpassing savage this time in views or even worse LIKES.
