9TAILEDVIXEN’S NOTES ON THE FINAL WEEK OF AUGUST 2024:
A part of my work as an anti-violence in opposition to girls activist is to trace main information and developments within the combat to finish violence in opposition to girls worldwide.
This week, South Korea takes the cake when it comes to the failure of the media and on-line violence in opposition to girls:
a) The Distinction between Media Protection on BTS’s Suga and NCT’S Taeil:
For the final 3 weeks, BTS’s Suga has been dragged throughout the coals by the Ok-Media for what turned out to be driving a scooter after having a couple of drinks. Actually, he was sober sufficient to journey the scooter slowly in a straight line on the bike path and when the scooter fell over as he took a pointy flip, he obtained up instantly to choose it up.
In distinction, information broke this week that Ok-Pop boy band NCT’s Taeil had been kicked out of the band by SM Leisure attributable to committing a yet-to-be specified sexual crime. Longtime Ok-Pop stans famous that it is a first for SM because the company likes to carry on their standard however problematic artists.
It seems that Taeil had been below police investigation since June and that SM discovered mid-August:
But the Ok-Media had not reported on it in any respect, as an alternative selecting to give attention to what’s at worst a minor DUI as a result of Suga is a member of BTS. Even now, there haven’t been as many articles on Taeil whereas the Ok-Media continues to be dragging Suga who has apologised 4 instances and accepted his due punishment for DUI.
That is disturbing as a result of the media is constant to harp on one Ok-Pop star who harm no person along with his scootering whereas being all circumspect with a case involving one other Ok-Pop star committing a sexual crime (very seemingly the sexual assault of a girl). And Taeil’s case is only one of many instances of VAW in South Korea this previous 2 weeks which included a person beating a girl with a baseball bat in an elevator, a 10-year-old boy demanding bare pictures from a 6-year-old woman, and seven boys forcing women their age into prostitution and extorting cash from them.
Which brings me to…
(b) The Deepfake porn on Telegram case:
@welh talked about this additional up this thread however I believed I would add my two cents right here from the attitude of somebody who has spent a few years working within the motion to finish violence in opposition to girls and women.
That is the second time that Telegram has been utilized by Korean males to perpetuate the cyberbullying and intercourse trafficking of girls and women. The primary time was the Nth Room scandal the place, because the BBC stories: “In 2019 it emerged that males had been utilizing a Telegram chatroom to blackmail dozens of younger girls into performing sexual acts, in a scandal generally known as nth-room. The group’s ring-leader, Cho Ju-bin, was sentenced to 42 years in jail.” (https://www.bbc.com/information/articles/cg4yerrg451o)
This time round, the perpetrators are largely TEEN BOYS…
